Wellington: A New Zealand radio station was fined yesterday over a "deceptive" prank in which a heated conversation with England all-rounder Ben Stokes' mother was broadcast live without her knowledge.
Radio Hauraki shock jocks Jeremy Wells and Matt Heath were mocking Kiwi-born Stokes' role in England's loss to the West Indies in the World Twenty20 final last April before the on-air incident.
Stokes, who moved from Christchurch to England as a child, conceded four consecutive sixes in the final over to give the West Indies victory, making him a target for some New Zealanders.
His New Zealand-based mother Deborah called the radio station to take issue with her son's treatment and found herself talking to Heath, unaware she was on air.

Incredibly unflappable Hameed deserves debut, says Vidyadhar Paradkar
