Cricket NSW boss fined by Cricket Aust

Cricket Australia has rebuked Cricket NSW chief executive Andrew Jones, slapping him with a suspended fine for a tweet that followed Sunday's abandonment at North Sydney Oval.

Jones was seething after the one-dayer between NSW and Victoria was called off mid-chase by umpires, who cited a dangerous pitch.

Jones is a former CA employee who was appointed chief of the sport's most powerful and successful state body in 2013.

He has been given a suspended fine of $3,000 by CA for beaching its code of conduct.

"That is a ridiculous decision and the umps should be held accountable," Jones posted on Twitter.

"So pitch was safe when @CricketNSWBlues batted? Makes no sense. All officials involved should be fired immediately.

"It should be a No Result. Conditions didn't change all game so if it was dangerous for one side it was dangerous for the other."

It's understood Jones' call for umpires Phil Gillespie and John Ward to be sacked was what landed him in trouble.

Every other message in a series of posts was considered fair opinion.

Jones was charged with making comment that are "detrimental to the interests of cricket".

He admitted the offence, accepted the punishment and no hearing was required.

The farcical abandonment, which is the subject of a CA investigation, has divided players, coaches and officials.

Justin Langer, renowned for his resilience at the crease throughout a 105-Test career, noted it "seemed really strange" and "all cricket can't be played on really flat wickets".

Victoria captain Peter Handscomb told AAP that conditions deteriorated more than most spectators realised.

"It was inconsistent bounce," Handscomb said.

"Once it starts rearing off a length, it actually becomes quite dangerous.

"Both of our batters came off and were icing their thumbs; one was icing his ribs.

"They've got a faster attack but also, once the dew came in, the wicket got faster ... it was playing tricks."
