When players make "error in judgement" they can be fined, banned or dropped from playing. For example, in the heat of the moment, he may cuss and the umpire hears him- he is then reported and hauled to the match referee for his punishment.
Another example, a captain can be banned if his bowlers bowl to slow thus depriving his team of his service.
Now the ICC has fessed up about Long's error? Question? Who pays- will Nigel loose part of his match fee? Will he be demoted? Will he be written up?
After all, he had the luxury of time and multiple replays to make his call, quite unlike the on-filed umpire and players who makes decisions in the heat of moment at times.

In reply to WestDem
1. Have him publicly explain why he ignored his employers rules and regulations and instead made his own laws.
2. Fined him 50 % of his match fee and or suspend him for 6 months.
3. Have him offer a public apology to NZ cricket team, its people and all cricket fans
In reply to Emir
There is a history of these kind of decisions when playing aus in aus, especially when they are on the ropes.
ICC takes the blame
In reply to doosra
Is that it?
In reply to WestDem
Find a bus and a hammer thrower.
Match fee and banning for some period , when players break the rules what happens , for those who govern them on the same field why should it be different .
Anyone remember these quotes from the ICC not too long ago?

In reply to Kay
I remember it, but what is your point? What is your opinion?
In reply to Emir
My opinion is that who pays the piper calls the tune. If the ICC says so then it must be so. Who are you or anyone for that matter to question the umpire's final decision?
In reply to Kay
I see, thanks for being honest and sharing your opinion.
There are two types of people. followers- the majority and leaders-agents of change.
About 60 years ago, A young African American woman defied the authorities and sat in the front of a bus- you see Kay, this woman didn't ask herself, "who am I to question" the authorities since they had the last say.
Our nation is a better place today because of Rosa Parks.
In reply to Emir
I don't care for your history lesson. What you are advocating is a change in an integral part of a time honoured institution which is the human element of the decision making process. If the umpires are not allowed that leverage then we might as well replace them with computerized automated robots in the middle and the replay room and you will get all the decisions the way you want them ... according to the computer imagery and calculations.
Would you welcome such a change?
