Legspinner Stuart MacGill has been fined 50% of his match fee following an incident during Australia A's first Test against Pakistan A in Faisalabad. MacGill, after bowling to Mansoor Amjad, reportedly used offensive language against him on the final day of the match and was found guilty of breaching Cricket Australia's Code of Behaviour.

The charge was heard on Sunday in Lahore by a tour committee comprising captain Adam Voges, vice-captain Cameron White and coach Dean Hills.

Commenting on the decision, Michael Brown, Cricket Australia's general manager cricket, said MacGill had set a bad example as a senior player in the side. He added that he would discuss the issue with him once the team returns to Australia.

"I have no problem with players being combative on the field but there is a line they cannot cross and Stuart crossed that line," Brown said in a statement. "It is disappointing that such a senior player would be charged under [clause] 2.6 of our Code of Behaviour as we believe a player with nearly 200 Test wickets should be showing leadership to the emerging group of talented Australian cricketers currently playing in Pakistan."

Australia won the match by an innings and 203 runs. The second and final four-day match, in Lahore, begins on Wednesday.

Doesn't MacGill has a history of anger management problems? He's like the Happy Gilmore of the cricketing world

A) Watson will be the opener- Ponting likes him in the side, and he is at his best in the top 4.

B) Cullen should be nowhere near a test side until he gets decent figures in Australia. It is a lot easier to get wickets in the sub continent. I rather Bailey as the young spinner to develop, MacGill will get the spinners spot this year anyway.

Glad Ronchi is in the runs, I really hope he is our next keeper. Haddin is just a fill in, might as well give Ronchi time to settle in!

2nd test finished in a draw...Jaques and D.Hussey made 100s in the 2nd inn

With D.Hussey in the runs over in Pakistan surely he must be a chance to replace his brother who did his hammy for the ODI series in India in the next week or 2

One of a number of options. I would say it depends on whether Ponting is right to be honest. That said I'd imagine Voges to be ahead of Hussey, plus Jaques as well.

I feel they will go for the people with Cricket Australia contracts first though. You aint losing much putting Voges/Jaques in there anyway.
