Yet another day in Test cricket, yet another suspension for South Africa's main bowler Kagiso Rabada who celebrated over the top after picking up the wicket of Joe Root in the 3rd Test against England. The Twitterati were not happy with ICC's decision to ban Rabada for his celebration.
Here are the tweets:
Now that he is banned for the next match...
Kagiso Rabada, one of the finest sportsmen around, is banned for celebrating a wonderful moment. I truly hope if he takes Ben Stokes' wicket, he takes his shirt off and cartwheels to all four corners of the stadium, parading a T-short emblazoned with the words "It's not cricket."

South African fans are already dreading the worst!
It’s disrespectful to replace Kagiso Rabada with Beuran Hendricks @OfficialCSA

ICC: I am going to pretend I didn't see that!
Kagiso Rabada banned for the 4th Test for his celebration of Joe Root’s wicket. And Jos Buttler is chilling after abusing Vernon Philander repeatedly. This is so stupid.

Have to feel for Kagiso!
That Kagiso Rabada celebration was inspired by passion, and the fact that he'd just bowled out a big wicket. I still don't get why he is fined for admiring a white man's shoes in his celebration #SAvsENG pic.twitter.com/XNfxcOfKyr
