Top-edged onto the helmet and the ball ricochets away to the third man boundary. Short and angling into Burns, he looks away, hooks, and the ball deflects away past short third man
Scorchers vs Heat, 21st Match at Perth, BBL, Jan 05 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Heat won by 5 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)
9.40pm That is that. Brisbane Heat break their duck with his five-wicket win. Smiles in the Heat camp. They lost their openers early to Coulter-Nile, but a series of contributions from the middle order carried the Heat past the line. Lynn scrapped his way to 33 off 34 balls on a two-paced pitch while Cutting and Burns made contrasting cameos to finish the chase. A day after being dropped from Australia's ODI squad, Nathan Coulter-Nile ran in hard, hit 140ks, and came away with three wickets. There were reports that he'd been left out because of a back complaint. Coulter-Nile later clarified to ABC Radio that he was okay and suggested that there might have been a miscommunication between the selectors and the medical staff.
Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Alex Malcolm's report will be up shortly. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of P Ranjith. Cheers
Mujeeb is the Player of the Match for his outstanding spell of 4-0-10-2: I am excited. This is my first Player of the Match award in Big Bash.
Mujeeb, indeed, is a man of few words but he lets it rip with the ball
McCullum: It's a huge relief. To travel all the way to Perth and get the win is an exceptional show of courage. I lost the ball a bit under the lights but threw my hands up at the ball and stopped it. Mujeeb is really quiet off the field but he's courageous and the performances he is putting up is great. He doesn't say a lot but the boys enjoy his company.
short and flies through to the keeper, Burns gives himself room but can't lay bat on ball
The Heat need just one run for their first win of the season
Thumped flat and hard over Richardson's head. Make it 20 runs off the over. Attempted yorker, comes out as a full-toss, smoked away
Richardson loses his length again. Serves up a full-toss outside off, which is cracked away through the covers for back-to-back boundaries
overpitched and outside off, Cutting clears his front leg and smears it over extra-cover
Richardson responds with a top yorker just outside off, Cutting clears his front leg and squeezes it back to the bowler
Mowed over square leg for a masssssssive six! He jumps across off, meets a length ball, and lustily clubs it into the second tier. What a strike from Cutting
back of a length and outside off, knocked to midwicket. Cutting loses his balance and falls again. Whats up with Cutting?
Richardson
Cutting jumps across off, flicks towards long-on, falls. But gets up and recovers to complete the single
flatter and shorter outside off, flashed off the back foot to point
Agar tosses it slower and wider outside off, Burns lays into it. He smites a slog-sweep over midwicket for six. Nearly ran himself out off the last ball, then goes big now
Burns stays leg-side of this shortish ball outside off and punches to the covers. There's a mix-up between the wickets but no harm done in the end for the Heat
arm ball, snakes back in, chopped to point off the back foot
tossed up on middle and leg, flipped to square leg for one
Cutting nips down the track, Tye drags his length back and gets it to sail through to the keeper. Cutting quietly ducks under the ball
lifter outside off, swatted away to the right of Cartwright at deep square leg
Cutting shuffles a fair way across off stump, knuckle ball from Tye. He gets inside the line and clips it square. Cutting slips at the non-striker's end and they have to settle for one
Cutting gets behind the line of this shorter ball outside off and fends it right back to Tye
short, angling in, bursts off the pitch, strikes the glove and rolls back to Tye. Cross-seamer from AJ Tye
seam-up. Full on the pads, eased to fine leg with the wrists
AJ Tye's back into the attack
