Zampa gets run-out, breaks bat

Australia limited-overs duo Adam Zampa and Mitch Marsh have each been charged and fined following incidents in their respective KFC Big Bash matches last night.

Melbourne Stars leg-spinner Zampa was fined $2000 by Cricket Australia after breaking his bat following his dismissal against Melbourne Renegades.

Zampa was run-out late in the Stars' unsuccessful run chase and reacted by slamming his bat into the MCG turf as he walked off the ground, only to see it snap at the handle.

"Zampa was reported for breaching CA’s Code of Conduct Article 2.1.2 – Abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a match – a level 1 offence," a CA statement read.

"As per the CA Code of Conduct procedure, the Match Referee, Steve Bernard, considered the umpires’ written report, and offered a proposed sanction of a reprimand and $2,000 fine.

"Zampa accepted the sanction and no hearing was required."

Marsh was also in hot water after questioning the square leg umpire regarding a possible waist-high no-ball that wasn't given as he batted late in the Scorchers' innings.
