To miss more than the one match does seem to be ott, I agree. The penalty will depend on what he has been charged with (and found guilty of).
Yelling in the face of a batsman is maybe not worthy of a suspension, but doing it repeatedly, and after being censured for it several times, is a different matter - and just plain dumb.
There's also the matter of him giving Smith a shoulder charge - nothing major, but it did look deliberate. If he gets a suspension, it is down to stupidity.
