Strikers vs Renegades, 32nd Match at Melbourne, Jan 18 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

slower one on off, he looks to go over cover, can only hit it as far as the fielder at the edge of the circle. The Renegades' campaign comes to a grinding halt, while Sydney Thunder are through to the semifinals.

thumped down to long on, the second one was always going to be risky, a direct hit would have been the end of that, he missed

excellent yorker, squeezed down to long on but he refuses the single

swung across the line, straight to deep midwicket

slower one on middle, dabbed to backward point, looked to pick the gap behind the fielder there

full outside off, he swings across the line, can only get the thinnest of edges as the catch is gleefully accepted by the wicketkeeper.

hit back hard at the bowler, just about manages to stop that

too short and down leg, could have and should it hit it better than he did, just manages to get some glove on the pull, rolls to deep fine leg

short ball on middle, pulled towards wide long on where the fielder fires a wayward throw to allow the second

gives it good flight again, gets down on one knee and drives it towards sweeper cover

flat hit, eludes the diving cover fielder, they get back for the second even as the long off fielder fires a flat throw

spins away sharply, looks to back away and flay it over point, beaten

picked the bones out of that one. The slog sweep to perfection, bisects the gap between deep square and deep midwicket

googly this time, makes room and dabs it towards point, an overthrow at the bowler's end gives them an extra run, sloppy

tossed up outside off, he lofts it with the spin into the gap at wide long-off, excellent running to come back for the second

slower and fuller on off, he was through with the stroke even before the ball got to him

backs away and punches it to deep point

chipped back over the bowler's head, they scamper through for a single, got it off the top half of the bat, just eluded him

are we on to something here? Superb improvisation. Too full on middle, he backs away and carves that one over cover, no chance for the boundary rider at long-off

hit me ball, and that has been swung away into the wide long-on boundary. Easily done, all he needed to do was generate enough power to clear the infield, which he did

floats it full and across the batsman, squeezed to deep cover
