Star Perth Scorchers all-rounder Mitch Marsh has copped a $5000 fine but avoided suspension after his intense outburst at an umpire in last night's BBL clash<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cricket Australia's decision means the 29-year-old will be available for the Scorchers' do-or-die match on Thursday night, in which they will meet the winner of tonight's fixture between the Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat.<\/p>\n

Marsh exploded at umpire Sam Nogajski in last night's match against the Sydney Sixers<\/a> after he was controversially given out caught behind off the bowling of spinner Steve O'Keefe.<\/p>\n

O'Keefe and Sixers wicketkeeper Josh Philippe hit the umpire with full-throttle appeals and the official raised his finger, having deemed the bat had tickled the ball as Marsh attempted a leg-side glance.<\/p>\n

A dumbfounded Marsh then shouted "no" at the top of his lungs, trudged from the middle, eyeballed the umpire and unleashed a foul-mouthed spray.<\/p>\n

The Western Australian was dismissed for two runs in the Scorchers' innings of 6-167 and Perth lost the match by nine wickets.<\/p>\n

Marsh took responsibility of his extraordinary tirade.<\/p>\n

"I accept the fine handed down to me," Marsh said.<\/p>\n

"My reaction to the umpire's decision was unacceptable and not the example I want to be setting for any young cricketer.<\/p>\n

"I have complete respect for the umpires and the job they do.<\/p>\n

"I'll learn from this and look forward to Thursday night's match."<\/p>\n

Replays of the delivery suggested Marsh hadn't hit the ball and reignited calls for Cricket Australia to introduce DRS to the BBL.<\/p>\n

"It'll continue the discussion of DRS or lack of in this tournament," Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket's coverage.<\/p>\n

"I think we have all come to the agreement to use the technology we have got, and in that situation, if it's inconclusive you stay with the on-field umpire's decision."<\/p>\n
