West Indian Dwayne Bravo has been fined 20 percent of his match fee after being found guilty of breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct in Tuesday's one-day defeat by Australia in St Vincent.
Bravo was given out lbw to spinner Michael Clarke by Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf in the opening game of the five-match series but the batsman showed dissent by first standing his ground and then leaving the field while shaking his head.
"There was a lengthy delay until Dwayne Bravo finally departed the crease when he was given out," match referee Roshan Mahanama said in a statement on Wednesday.

"When the umpire's finger goes up the batsman must go without delay regardless what he thinks of the decision."
Bravo pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The second one-day match is on Friday.
