So Anderson and Jadeja had a spat on field in the 1st test, which continued when they were walking towards the dressing room. Apparently Anderson was abusing him and then pushed him near to the dressing room. Which was what was originally complained by the Indian camp

The complaint was not brought by the umpires but by the India team manager, Sunil Dev, who told ESPNcricinfo he lodged the complaint only after confirming the incident with India captain MS Dhoni, other players and coach Duncan Fletcher. Players from both sides could be called to give evidence at the hearing.
"Mahi [Dhoni] and everyone complained that he [Anderson] physically touched him [Jadeja] and pushed him. It was all over the dressing room," Dev said. "It is serious matter only because you can't push anybody. So I put in a complaint with the match referee."
The ECB were "surprised" by this decision
The ECB reacted with surprise and anger that India had reported Anderson for what they described as a "minor incident" in a press release. In retaliation, the ECB notified its intention of lodging a complaint against Jadeja as well.
So, apparently it was minor for the ECB but they still decided to lodge a complaint as an afterthought, or more like a quid pro quo
Well, considering that Eng didn't bother lodging any complaints in the first place, then Cook publicly describing it as a "nothing" or "minor" incident it was double standards of Eng to lodge a complaint in the first place. Then after lodging a complaint, it was ridiculous of ICC to handle this one BEFORE the original complaint.
And then Eng's complaint is actioned with Jadeja fined, whereas the original one is pending even though its going to be addressed by a VCON.
This is what was testified by Stokes and Prior
ESPNcricinfo has learned that Prior contended Jadeja's bat was raised dangerously when he turned towards Anderson, and Stokes suggested Jadeja had pushed Anderson first. India claim Jadeja neither touched nor swore at anyone.
Clearly "turning towards Andersen with his bat raised" and "pushing Andersen" isn't minor. Looks like Prior and Stokes lied blatantly.
Also, Stokes gave away 1 important fact - That Andersen pushed Jadeja when he said "Jadeja had pushed Anderson first"
Pathetic really
I didn't expect England to stoop so low. Harbhajan and Tendulkar were vilified during Monkeygate, but at least then, no one knew the real facts, and Symonds was clearly the aggressor. Also you *can* give the benefit of doubt to Bhajji - he could have very well said "Teri Maa Ki" which is very common abuse and sounds like Monkey.
Here, Eng team are caught lying openly. How it turned from "minor" to "threatening with bat raised" and "pushed Anderson first" only they can justify. And to be so stupid, and say - "Anderson was pushed first" really gives away the fact that Anderson did push Jadeja.
Ah, and that video camera not working/not turned on seems just too convenient now.
