DROPPED again. Doherty slams a cut shot straight to Ferguson at point and the ball breaks through his hands and hits the deck and they complete a single to close the innings
Strikers vs Hurricanes, at Hobart, Jan 05 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So, there it is, a commanding 38 run victory for the Strikers over the Hurricanes in Hobart.
Another gem from Michael Klinger set it all up for the Strikers tonight as they posted 162 with Klinger's unbeaten 71 the base.
Cameron Boyce claimed three important scalps with his leg spin for the Strikers - the wicket of Paine, Ponting and Birt proved to be the difference in the end.
Kane Richardson was also a standout performer with the ball (2-26) and in the field with his athletic one handed catch on the extra cover perimeter.
Cameron Boyce nabs the Man of the Match award for his three wickets in a wonderful spell of leg spin bwoling. Without question, Boyce was efficient, but Maxi Klinger can perhaps feel a little hard done by as his innings was superb on what seemed
to be a difficult wicket to find your timing on.
From all of the team here at Cricinfo, thanks for joining us and we look forward to yoru presence again tomorrow evening when we bring you coverage of the all-Victorian clash between the Stars and the Renegades from the MCG.
This is Marc Ellison signing off. Goodnight folks.
