Philander claims Twitter account was hacked after Smith rant

"Havent [sic]really seen the fotage [sic] of this incident but by the looks of this…Steve Smith gave KG the shoulder. He could have avoided any contact but to me he is just as guilty. Trying some football skills to get a penalty??? Pity he didnt dive to top it off," Philander tweeted to his 185,000 followers late on Wednesday night South African time.

Philander wrote on Thursday morning that his account had been hacked.

"Good morning all my tweeps. Waking up this morning to alot of twitter craziness as my acc got hacked and someone posted a nice little article on my behalf. Sorry for all the drama or entertainment caused by the looks of it. Have a great day all," Philander wrote.

The ICC has 48 hours to appoint a judicial commissioner with a hearing to be held within seven days.

Rabada's suspension will stand unless the commissioner believes there is just cause for him to play in the third Test startin next Thursday in Cape Town.

The firebrand quick has been the dominant bowler this series with 15 wickets at 16.8. He has been dangerous with the new ball and with his reverse swing.

His match-winning performance in Port Elizabeth took him back to the top of the ICC's bowling rankings.
