17.5 to JS Lehmann, straight up and long-off takes the steepler! Lehmann throws his back into this big hit and the lack of pace makes him send the ball high but not long. Burns comes in off the boundary and takes a very good catch.. 121/6

2.2 to AT Carey, bowled 'im! Splendid bowling, keeping it full and in line with the stumps. Carey forgets about his feet, goes for a wild swing and walks back to have a cold shower.. 14/1
4.3 to J Weatherald, slower ball again! It's only 109 kph and it looks exactly like the ball that a left-hander would fancy tonking to cow corner - pitching on a length and starting just outside off, meaning he thinks he has the room to swing his arms. Problem is it's the change of pace, and the angle into the left-hander is fairly steep. Weatherald's through the shot too early and walks back to the hut. 29/2
18.6 to Rashid Khan, caught at short third man. Looks for another huge one, this time over the leg side. But Lalor keeps bowling outside off and gets a top edge. 139/7
401824.50111000
7.4 to TM Head, does him with the wrong 'un! Beautiful bowling from Yasir; he created pressure with dot balls and then throws Head a tempter, making it bob above his eyeline, angling it outside off to see if he wants to take it on. The Strikers captain goes for the sweep shot - he plays over the ball as it dips sharply and then it has a free passage onto off stump. 43/3
12.6 to CA Ingram, taken at deep square leg! It's the premeditated slog sweep again, and the good length ball gets more bounce than he bargains. Top edge lands safely in Gannon's hands. Legspin for the win. 76/5

302618.6643000
11.3 to JW Wells, taken at short cover! Wells tries to drive on the up but the short of a length ball holds in the pitch, kicks up to take the high part of the bat and sits in McCullum's hands. "Cross-seam," he asks the bowler after celebrating, and Gannon replies "yeah".. 70/4

0.6 to JJ Peirson, full on leg stump and Pierson tries to send this out of Adelaide. Not enough muscle this shot, and it has come off the toe end. Taken at mid on! There's the early breakthrough. 8/1
401924.75132010
1.3 to CA Lynn, tossed up full outside off and it's given for caught behind! Lynn looked to push at it, as the ball slid under his bat and through to Carey. Lynn cannot believe it, as replays suggest that the noise came off the bat hitting the ground. No edge, but Lynn has to make his way back for a duck!. 8/2
15.6 to CJ Gannon, does him! That's gorgeous work from Rashid - tossing it up to draw the big slog out and then the wrong 'un exploits the gap between bat and pad and rattles the stumps. 90/9
402616.50123030
2.2 to JA Burns, pace! high pace! Burns is done in by a short ball, striking him very high on the bat as he goes for a pull. The miscue goes only as far as short midwicket, where Rashid takes a sliding catch and flings the ball back up in the air. The strike force is in full force on New Year's Eve. Again. 11/3
20723.5060000
3.1 to AI Ross, through him! Neser's going to be Man of the Match tonight! Full delivery, nips in off the pitch, surges through the tiniest gap between bat and pad and knocks over middle stump. Beats him for pace, it looks like. Big back lift doesn't come down in time. 15/4
10.2 to BB McCullum, strides out of his crease and hoicks it down the long-on. Lehmann takes the catch, turns around to the crowd and revs them up. The Strikers on New Year's Eve are unstoppable. So is Neser. That's his second wicket - a big one as well - after a 40 off 26 balls.. 56/6
2.201134.7191010
6.2 to BCJ Cutting, taken at point! This is the top speed delivery, but it seems to hold on the pitch a fraction. Cutting is preparing to play it down to third man. But there's a touch more bounce, it hits high on the bat and veers squarer to Ingram. 38/5
13.5 to MT Steketee, top pace yorker - 138 kph - nails the off stump before the batsman knows what's going on. Too good. Too much. 77/8
16.2 to MJ Swepson, taken at deep midwicket and Strikers win on New Year's Eve for a fifth year running! They are also top of the table in the BBL! The Adelaide Oval roars in approval. This is how they wanted 2017 to end and Laughlin obliges with a slower ball that takes out Swepson. 91/10
