Mitchell Marsh will be free to play for the Scorchers in Thursday s Big Bash playoff after accepting a $5000 fine for dissent in Saturday s nine-wicket loss to the Sydney Sixers. Speculation that Marsh could face a suspension was shot down when he was charged by match referee Bob Stratford with a level two offence under Cricket Australia s Code of Conduct for showing dissent after he was given out caught behind. In a statement, Marsh apologised for his actions and said he would accept the charge and the proposed sanction of a $5000 fine. I accept the fine handed down to me, my reaction to the umpire s decision was unacceptable and not the example I want to be setting for any young cricketer, Marsh said.
