Full commentary

10:16pm Thunder lost their way at the end of their innings, but the Hurricanes' domination ended there. Completely outdone as they set out to chase this - by some top quality spin, and then by soft dismissals. The batting line-up didn't look like a very good idea either. Fawad Ahmed picked up and Arjun Nair picked up four wickets between them, conceded less than 40 together, and bowled nearly four overs worth of dot balls. You don't recover from that. Especially with Mitch McClenaghan to contend with as well. Two wickets for him, and he went for 19 off his four overs. Sandhu and Green got into it as well. A complete bowling performance, backing up Jos Buttler's brute 67. Sydney Thunder become the fourth team on four points now, while Hurricanes stay bottom having lost two in two. That's all we have for you today. See you soon!

W
McClenaghan to Rogers, OUT

nicely done. Outfoxes the No. 10 batsman completely with a loopy slower ball that appear to be a beamer, but ends up sneaking through from under the bat because it's a yorker

1
McClenaghan to Archer, 1 run

another one off the toe-end. Might have had 15 extra runs on another day. Backs away, lines up to this slower ball outside off and swings across the line. Everythign right about it other than the connection. Lands well in front of deep midwicket

tanzim: "He is going to wait five years??!! Why not play for the West-Indies?? Does English first class cricket seriously pay more money than what the West-Indies national team does? Or does he just like the life-style in England? Woweee.." --- Yeahhhh. He's obviously headed for plenty of T20 success too. At least financially over the next few years.
