ODI series rocked as South African star suspended over 'suspect' act against Aussies
There's been an explosive fallout to the first cricket ODI between Australia and South Africa, with Adam Zampa copping an official warning from the ICC and Proteas all-rounder Prenelan Subrayen reported for a suspect bowling action. Subrayen will sit out the remaining two matches against Australia after being provisionally suspended by the ICC pending further testing. The 31-year-old took the key wicket of Travis Head in the first ODI in Cairns on Tuesday, snaring 1-46 from 10 overs as the Proteas won by 98 runs. It was Subrayen's ODI debut, but he might have to wait awhile to play his second match. The ICC announced on Thursday that Subrayen's action had been reported by match officials, and he'll now face an independent assessment of his action at an ICC-accredited testing facility within 14 days. He won't be allowed to play ICC-sanctioned games until being cleared. It's the same situation that Australian spinner Matt Kuhnemann faced when he was reported after the second Test against Sri Lanka earlier this year. Kuhnemann was later cleared and allowed to continue bowling after being tested. Prenelan Subrayen reported for third time in career It's the third time Subrayen has been reported after his action was first deemed suspect more than a decade ago. In December of 2012, Cricket South Africa (CSA) placed him under rehabilitation after two separate independent tests showed his action to be illegal, but he was cleared to bowl again in January of 2013 after re-testing. The off-spinning all-rounder was then reported twice in the following two years during matches, before he was eventually cleared to resume bowling after having his action examined at South Africa's national performance centre in March of 2016. In June he earned his first Test appearance for South Africa against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, and was then handed his first ODI cap in Cairns on Tuesday. It comes as another blow for the touring South Africans, who have already lost star paceman Kagiso Rabada to injury with two more games to be played in Mackay on Friday and Sunday. After losing the T20 series 2-1, the Proteas are eyeing revenge in the ODI format.

The leg-spinner has been slapped with a demerit point for breaching the ICC's code of conduct after he was caught using "an audible obscenity during an international match." The incident occurred in the 37th over of the Proteas' innings, when Zampa used inappropriate language after a misfield and overthrow off his bowling. The audible obscenity was picked up on the stump microphone and broadcast to the TV audience. Zampa admitted the offence and accepted the sanction, and no formal hearing was required. Players are suspended if they attract four demerit points within a 24-month period. Zampa took 1-58 in his 10 overs in Cairns, as well as making 11 with the bat. with agencies

France probes death of man on live video stream after violence and humiliations
French authorities are investigating the death of a man during a live video stream on the Kick live streaming platform, where he had regularly been shown enduring violence and humiliations. Prosecutors ordered an autopsy and opened an investigation into the death of the 46-year-old man in the village of Contes, north of Nice, on Monday. Clara Chappaz, junior minister for AI and digital technology, said Raphael Graven, known online as Jean Pormanove, had regularly featured in videos on Kick, where he was physically assaulted or humiliated by co-streamers as viewers watched live. 'The death of Jean Pormanove and the violence he suffered are absolutely horrific,' she said on X. Kick Francais said on X it would cooperate with authorities and was undertaking a review of its French content. 'Our priority is to protect creators and ensure a safer environment on Kick,' it said, adding that 'all co-streamers who participated in this live broadcast have been banned pending the ongoing investigation'. Kick is an Australia-registered live streaming platform that shares revenue with its content creators. Chappaz said a judicial investigation is underway, that she had referred the matter to digital and audiovisual communication regulator Arcom and that she had filed a report to Pharos, France's internet portal for reporting illicit internet content. She said she asked Kick for explanations, adding: 'the responsibility of online platforms for dissemination of illegal content is not optional: it is the law'. Yassin Sadouni, a lawyer for one of two co-streamers seen abusing Pormanove, said on BFM television that Pormanove had cardiovascular problems and that the violence in the videos was not real but acted. 'All those scenes are just staged, they follow a script,' he said. French media have shown excerpts of hours-long videos during which Pormanove is seen suffering blows, insults, strangulation, dousing with paint and oil and being shot at with a paintball gun. It was not clear from the video excerpts if Pormanove voluntarily subjected himself to the violence or was forced to endure it, nor whether the action was real or staged.
