Young spinner Ashton Agar suspended for showing dissent towards an umpire Ashton Agar has landed himself in hot water for the second time. THE cheeky smiles of former Ashes hero Ashton Agar have turned upside down after the spinner was suspended for showing dissent towards an umpire for the second time. Agar, who was Australian cricket's posterboy last year after his remarkable Test debut in England, will miss WA's next Sheffield Shield match after accepting the sanction. Agar, 20, was reported for breaching Cricket Australia's Code of Behaviour during this week's second XI match against a Queensland second XI at Brisbane's Allan Border Field. Agar was reported by the umpires for breaching Article 2.1.3 - Showing dissent at an umpire's decision during a match. It was Agar's second offence in 18 months and therefore the applicable range of permissible sanctions was elevated to be equivalent to a Level 2 Offence under the Code. A Code of Behaviour hearing was not required as Agar admitted the offence and accepted the sanction. Ashton Agar's smile is now not so wide. It has been a horrible season for Agar - who last year made the most famous 98 in Ashes history and became an overnight sporting sensation. He has been dropped by the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash and was hoping to use this week's second XI match to push his case for Shield selection. Earlier this week he told The Courier-Mail he was not getting down in the dumps despite being out of form and spending time out of the limelight. "It's been a little bit strange but you have just got to stay grounded," Agar told The Courier-Mail. This week he played in front of two men and a dog at a suburban Brisbane ground where the flies easily outnumbered the spectators.
