Andrew Hall, the South Africa and Lions allrounder, was found guilty on December 8 by Michael Kuper, an advocate, at a disciplinary hearing which was held at the head office of the United Cricket Board of South Africa in Johannesburg.

Hall was charged with breaching the rules and code of conduct of the South African board during the Standard Bank Cup match between the Lions and Dolphins at the Liberty Life Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on December 2, 2005.

Hall was charged and found guilty of contravening two clauses:

Clause (1.2): Players and team officials must at all times accept an umpire's decision and must not show dissent at an umpire's decision.

Clause 1.5 (1.5.2): Participants shall not engage in unbecoming or detrimental conduct which could bring them, the board or the game of cricket into disrepute.

He was suspended for one match and hence is not eligible for the Standard Bank Cup match between the Lions and Warriors at Johannesburg on December 9.
