MELBOURNE (Reuters)
Glenn McGrath was suspended on Saturday for one match and also given a two-match suspended sentence for dissent during Australia's one-day defeat to New Zealand in Melbourne. He will miss Sunday's match against South Africa, with the suspended ban coming into force if he reoffends during the month-long triangular series.

McGrath stood his ground after being given out caught behind off spinner Daniel Vettori at the end of the Australian innings, sealing New Zealand's 23-run victory.

International Cricket Council match referee Hanumant Singh said that he found McGrath's explanation for his actions unsatisfactory.
