The Sydney Cricket Ground management is unrepentant over its decision to refuse entry to a 35-year-old woman sporting an above-the-knee hemline.

Lynda Reid, a solicitor and mother-of-two, was ejected from the queue to the members stand early Sunday morning on the grounds that her floral ASOS tulip dress, which sat a few inches above the knee, was inappropriate attire.

Following the incident on day two of the fifth Ashes Test, Ms Reid wrote to the SCG Trust expressing her disappointment, and challenging its management to come up with any "coherent basis" on which they could claim her attire was not "respectable and appropriate", in the words of the official dress code.

She asked that her SCG membership be cancelled, her yearly fees refunded, and for her two children to be removed from the waiting list for membership.

Ms Reid also complained of the "absence of any shred of common politeness or civility demonstrated by your organisation".

Ms Reid received an official letter in response, granting her a fee refund and stating that her two children would be taken off the list.

The letter did not contain an apology to Ms Reid but it stated that the SCG regularly reviews its dress regulations.

"We are always open to consider Member suggestions for proposed changes," it stated.

But Ms Reid is a member no more.

"My reaction to their response and the absence of any kind of apology just reinforces that the decision I made to part company with them is the right one," she said.

"I think the problem is there is no clarity with the dress code and it seems to be arbitrarily enforced with unwritten rules made up on the spot."

"It's their club, it's their rules. I am happy to abide by them. The problem is the lack of clarity."

When approached by Fairfax Media, SCG Trust chairman Rodney Cavalier said that he had no comment on the incident and that he was sure that the attendants were doing their job.

The dress code regulations for the general Members Reserve - which includes the MA Noble Stand, the Ladies Stand and the Allianz Stadium Members Area - states that dresses should be ''of a respectable length''.

If cricket-goers wish to watch the game from the Members Pavillion itself, ladies' dresses must be knee-length, but Ms Reid was planning on sitting in the Ladies Stand.
