Usually bowling a full toss in a T20 game has often been considered a huge offense especially, against someone like Mitchell Marsh who is known for hitting the ball a country mile. So when Thomas Rodgers, while bowling for Hobart Hurricanes against Perth Scorchers, bowled Marsh off a full toss, he could do nothing but laugh out loud.
With Hobart Hurricanes locked horns with unbeaten Perth Scorchers, the former needed some luck going their way to get something out of the game. While the flip of the bat did not go in their way, a wicket in the very first over did signal some good news for the side. However, Kurtis Patterson and the incoming Mitchell Marsh made it very clear that they were not going to witness a loss without a fight.

After consolidating the early loss and scoring 46 in the powerplay, the Perth batsmen decided it was time to accelerate with 25 runs coming off the next two overs. As Patterson took a single to bring up his half-century, Marsh took guard against Rogers, who was bowling his second over of the game.
However, Thomas Rogers just lost all control of the ball as he ended by bowling a full-toss outside the off stump for Marsh to attack. However, in what can be considered sheer luck, the Perth star did not middle the ball, and instead, it caught the inside edge of the bat to bounce onto the middle stump.

While all Mitchell Marsh could do was hang his head and make his way back to the dressing room, Thomas Rogers had something more for the fans to see. As the bowler approached his wicketkeeper to celebrate, he pulled out a cheeky laugh which appeared to be a combination of both joy and relief.
