MELBOURNE (Reuters)
Australia captain Steve Waugh has been called before a disciplinary hearing after he stood his ground despite being given out during the second Test against South Africa at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Waugh lingered at the crease after umpire Darrell Hair had given him out run out for 90 as Australia reached 487 for 9 in reply to South Africa's 277.

Waugh made a diving attempt to make his ground at the striker's end after Damien Martyn (52) pushed a ball to point with the score on 429 after a fifth-wicket partnership of 81 in 92 minutes.

Television replays suggested wicketkeeper Mark Boucher could have broken the stumps before the throw from Herschelle Gibbs reached him.

An announcement on the hearing was due to be made on Saturday.
