good length ball on off, defended.
Sixers vs Hurricanes, 39th Match at Sydney, Jan 16 2020, Big Bash League
9:27 pm It's official. Match has been called off so the teams will split points. Frustrating news for cricket fans, but hardly anyone in the eastern states will be complaining about desperately needed rain coming down in the context of recent events. Come back tomorrow for more BBL coverage. For Andrew McGlashan at the SCG, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
9:15 pm Gnasher says in order for there to be a five-over chase, play must restart by 9:49 pm local time. That's just over 30 minutes away and it may take that long to get the ground cleared and ready. So an abandonment feels imminent.
9:00 pm Update from the SCG: "Still very wet," says Gnasher. Restart looking very outlandish at the moment.
8:05 pm Our fearless leader at the SCG, Andrew McGlashan, has spoken: "Pretty steady rain here and though the radar suggests the band is narrowing a little it will take a while to cross. We have though had enough overs in the first innings where we need just five in the second for a match."
Santosh Badal: "Why is there no updates on Rain after stoppage?" Because it's still raining!
7:40 pm And the rain has finally gotten thick enough to force the players off. Covers being rushed on now.
missed runout! Full into the legs, misses a flick, ball goes to point where George Bailey has a free shot with Henriques wandering out for a non-existent leg bye. Throw misses badly from 12 yards away and one stump to aim at with Henriques five yards out having given up, but they take an overthrow for the leg bye after all due to lack of backup fielder on the leg side.
low full toss swinging away from fourth stump, thick edge goes wide of the diving keeper and races away.
full on off, tapped gently into the off side for an easy run.
good length ball on middle stump, defended back to Boland.
good length ball angled across off, guided wide enough of short third man for a tight run.
good length ball on off, guided with soft hands down to third man.
back of a length on fourth stump, goes back and across to flick through midwicket.
good length ball on off, driven straight to mid-off.
short of a length on the stumps, punched off the back foot through midwicket.
Andrew Schulz: "There is absolutely no reason why there could not be one (second slip) there in a 20/20, especially when 2 wickets (and nearly 4) have fallen in the previous 5 balls." Don't disagree Andrew. Captaincy is sometimes too mechanical in these leagues.
yorker length ball on middle stump, thick edge along the ground evades off stump, diving stop moving right by the keeper.
good length ball on the hips tucked behind square.
fullish length on fifth stump, guides this through the gap between backward point and short third man.
Rain starting to fall midway through the over.
full on off stump, driven down the pitch, diving stop at mid-off by Qais.
full on middle stump, driven along the ground wide of mid-on for a run.
good length ball on fourth stump, goes back to guide this behind point.
fullish length on fourth stump, pushes this in the gap between extra cover and mid-off.
good length ball on fourth stump, defended back to Boland.
edge! Fullish length angled across fourth stump, no footwork, this flies off the edge wide of Wade at slip. Would've been snapped up by a second slip but none there in a T20.
nearly another wicket! Fullish length ball on fifth stump, prods at this tentatively and it lobs up in the air just wide of extra cover before dribbling wide of mid-off to get off strike.
