Shane Watson, Haddin fined

Australians Shane Watson and Brad Haddin have been fined for questioning umpiring decisions in yesterday's T20 game against Pak.

Australians Shane Watson and Brad Haddin have been fined for questioning umpiring decisions in yesterday's Twenty20 game against Pakistan in Dubai.

Watson was fined 25% of his match fee and Haddin 15% after pleading guilty to level one breaches of the International Cricket Council's code of conduct.

Match referee Jeff Crowe said: "Both players immediately pleaded guilty to the charges and were very apologetic about their actions.

"While I understand that players will feel frustrated at times, both Brad and Shane were quick to acknowledge that they needed to accept the umpire's decision without gesture or verbal complaint."

Watson hit his bat with his hand after being given out lbw by Aleem Dar, before continuing to protest as he left the field, while Haddin pointed his bat at umpire Zameer Haider when Andrew Symonds was adjudged leg before and said "there was bat involved".

Pakistan won the game by seven wickets.
