Imagine being so hard up for friends that you bowl a wide to lose the game and deny your opponent a chance at a ton.

doesn’t matter how you spin it, Tye is an absolute f**kwit.

hopefully he has enraged the straight sets gods with his bullshit.
The spin merchants were up and about last night....saying that Tye is a good bloke etc. He absolutely bowled that ball on purpose....it was not close to not being called a wide.....umpire had absolutely no choice.

Not even a dirty tactic to try and win a game....just a tactic to be a piece of shit. Very ordinary from a bowler who has lost his way over the last three years.

On the one hand a Tye Vs Vince rematch would be well juicy, on the other hand screw Tye and screw the Scorchers.
Go the Thunder/Heat when either team play the Scorchers.


Who ever plays the Sixers will do it tough

They play on Thursday, flight over from Perth on Friday. Final on Saturday

The game in Perth should have been on Wednesday imo

If Heat make it to the final would be insane, if they win it would be insaner

Sadly, I think it ends for the Heat tonight. Too many guns in that Thunder batting line up to completely fail.
It's time for Lynn to stand up and set himself to bat through the innings, or a good majority of at least. A captains knock basically. Getting out in the first or second over won't be good enough given the coin he's on.

He's had a pretty good season, but now is the time to shine.

Any of you cricket nerds know of any rule where Blocker could have called that a dead ball?

This would kind of go close. Given the ball almost landed on his own foot.
20.4.2.8 the bowler drops the ball accidentally before delivery.

Tye lost both the game and any last bit of respect he may have had left. Double loser.

Sure he'll say it was an accident and the ball slipped and the sun was in his eyes and his shoe lace was untied.
Should have tried to take a wicket.

Perhaps a rule could be added where a batsman can reject the bonus run and the ball be a dead ball. Would so rarely be used though.

No, I guess deciding if it was deliberate or not is a matter of interpretation rather than being black or white. Although it could come under not being in the spirit of the game.

And FYI, I prefer the term Cricket Dork.

There is no rule against it, its no different to bowling a short bouncer last ball in the over to keep the other guy on strike first ball of the next over

Scorchers allrounder Mitchell Marsh has been fined $5,000 but has crucially escaped suspension, meaning he is free to play in Thursday night's KFC BBL Knockout Final in Perth.

Marsh reacted angrily to an unfavourable umpiring decision in the Scorchers' nine-wicket BBL Qualifier defeat to the Sydney Sixers on Saturday night, with the likes of former Australia captain Ricky Ponting saying he expected the 29-year-old to receive a suspension.


On Sunday, Cricket Australia announced Marsh will be free to play at Optus Stadium on Thursday, thanks in part to his good record.

Following a hearing that was held after play on Saturday night, Marsh was found guilty of a Level 2 breach of Cricket Australia’s Code of Conduct, which can lead to a suspension and/or a maximum penalty of $10,000.

But given the allrounder has had no Code of Conduct breaches in the past two years, he was instead fined $5,000.

It is the first Level 2 breach of the code this season, but it is rare for players with a ‘clean’ record to be suspended for a first offence.
