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.
