England coaches also fined for drinking session

GROS ISLET, St Lucia, March 20 (Reuters) England coaches Kevin Shine and Jeremy Snape have also been fined for their part in Friday's drinking session, sources familiar with the matter said today.

Six players were fined on Saturday for breaching team discipline following Friday's defeat by New Zealand while Andrew Flintoff was stripped of the World Cup vice captaincy and dropped from Sunday's win over Canada.

Head coach Duncan Fletcher said yesterday he had spoken to the two coaches and it has now resulted in fines. Spin coach Snape was only drafted into England's World Cup backroom staff earlier this month.
