Sixers vs Strikers, 14th Match at Adelaide, , Dec 31 2015 - Match Result

a century to savour . Champagne moment on New Year's eve! It was short again, the ball got big on him and he slapped it behind square on the leg side. The ball got big on him but he ensured the swing was powerful enough to take it all the way. This is the first century by an Adelaide Strikers batsman in BBL history

are you kidding me? This one was a short ball, much slower as well and it made it easier for Head to generate enough power as he waited on the slower ball and then swung that away, got it a little high on the bat but it was enough to take it over deep midwicket. Sean Abbott is crest fallen

as easy as it can get. Too full on leg stump, he walks across the stump and flicks the half volley over deep midwicket. Short boundary there and only those in the stands could have caught that

high full toss, the deep cover fielder misfields but Head decided he wasn't going to run back for the second come hell or high water. He retains the strike.

hit hard but straight to cover

monstrous hit! He hasn't learnt here. Bowls it full, half-volley, Head backs away and makes the most difficult stroke look ridiculously easy. Lofted nice and clean over extra cover, tremendous bat speed on that as ball met bat

swung across the line towards deep midwicket

low full toss on middle, he gets it down towards long-on, long boundary means even a rocket throw can't prevent the second

low full toss outside off, squeezed to third man, confusion between both batsmen, who met mid-pitch, a direct hit at the bowler's end and Rashid would have been gone

he's single-handedly winning this. Short ball, he waited inside the crease and pulled him in front of square over deep square leg.

that's another muscular hit that has gone 20 rows back. Full toss angling away, he walks across, gets down on one knee and swings towards deep midwicket, absolutely smoked that. Mayhem here

too full on off, and he slices that one into the gap between point and third man. They're still in this, are Adelaide

swung across the line, makes clean connection again and the ball sails over the deep midwicket fence. It was full, right in the slot for the swing and he made proper contact

gets down on one knee and slogs that across the line, no one at long-on and the ball rolls into the long boundary there. Good start to the over

eased neatly down towards third man, but the slower delivery meant there wasn't enough pace on the deflection for it to go to the boundary

makes room and squeezes it to deep cover

right into the blockhole from wide of the crease, jams his bat down in time to keep that away

goes for a wild swing, only manages to slice it down towards third man, the point fielder threw his hat into the race by going for it, but backed off finally., and Ayre held his own to take it quite comfortably

back of length on middle, he can't turn that wide of midwicket, dot ball and that means more pressure on the Strikers
