Showing dissent at decisions

It is quite surprising that Brett Lee was charged for showing dissent.I haven't seen that episode but I am sure there are much more high profiled players who should have been charged long time ago.
Yes I am talking about Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath. These two players (even though they have taken many many wickets) do not fit into my book of SPORTSMEN because around 60% of their wickets are the outcome of constant sledging and bickering at the batsman.That's no way to play CRICKET.
In the boxing day cricket match much was said about Shane Warne's excessive appealing but he got away scott free.But mind you had it been Venkatesh Prasad or Parthiv Patel ot Muttiah Muralitharan or Shoiab Akhtar they would have been instantly fined.
There have been numerous occasions when player from the subcontinent have been victimised while Australian or S. African players have gotten away scott free.Wasim Akram was very right when he mentioned that there is alot of discrimintation against the players from the subcontinent.It has not helped by having Dalmiya or Mani at the helm.I feel bowlers should be punished the same way as batsmen are if they show even 1% of dissent for turning down an appeal
