Queensland's Matthew Renshaw said it would be teammate Marnus Labuschagne's shout after the young batsman became the first to be penalised under cricket's new fake fielding law.
Fielding for the Bulls in their one-day cup clash the Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane on Friday, Labuschagne dived and then shaped to throw without the ball in hand.
Batsman Param Uppal panicked and retreated to his crease, before completing the run when he realised the ball had passed Labuschagne.
Five runs were awarded to CA XI in accordance with the new rule against "intentionally deceiving or distracting a batsman", despite Labuschagne immediately apologising for his deviousness.
The rule was among a number of new laws introduced on Thursday by the International Cricket Council.
Backing the penalty, Renshaw said his teammate would not live down the history-making act.
"He owes the boys a few after that five runs incident," Renshaw said.
"He's just an quite intense individual and tries his best in the field, but sometimes his brain fades and he forgets some rules.
"Obviously we shouldn't be doing that; it's a good rule, from a batter's point of view I can see where it comes from."
Renshaw had further reason to be filthy at his teammate when Labuschagne was at fault in a mix-up that led to the Test opener being run out for 67.
The left-hander had looked in good touch before the dismissal, which continued a frustrating run of starts without a big score.
"I'm definitely itching to get the three figures, but I'm not really (anxious)," Renshaw said.
"You just have to remember, when you do get a start, the days when you get 50 or 60 and make sure you do go on and make a massive hundred."
Queensland won the game with four wickets and nine balls remaining, chasing down CA XI's 279 and next face South Australia on Sunday.
