NSW leg spinner Stuart MacGill tonight was fined $1,500 after being found guilty of breaching two clauses of the Australian Cricket Board's code of behaviour.

A NSW Cricket spokesman said that MacGill was fined $750 for each of the charges, which related to showing dissent and crude and abusive behaviour during the second day's play of the Pura Cup match between the Blues and Tasmania at the SCG today.

MacGill was placed on report after he vented his anger at umpire David Brandon, who had turned down an lbw appeal from the former Test spinner.

Code of Behaviour commissioner Terry Buddin SC found MacGill guilty of the charges but dismissed a charge of unbecoming behaviour.

The NSW Cricket spokesman could not provide any more details on the incident.
