attempted a yorker, but it is a full-toss and that is swiped away through wide mid-on, four wins in four games for the Renegades!
Heat vs Renegades, at Melbourne, Dec 22 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Renegades won by 6 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)
That is that then, an easy win in the end for the Renegades after it looked at one stage that they had made a hash of the chase. Cooper's 15-ball 29, followed by some sensible batting from Ben Rohrer helped the side past the target. Eight points for Renegades, which keeps them at the top of the points table and they continue to remain the only undefeated side in the competition.
The Heat will think they allowed the opposition to get out of jail on a sluggish track and they remain in the bottom half of the points table.
One needed now.
not a great ball, it was wide outside the off, very full too and allows the batsman enough room to hit it anywhere square off the off side, he drives through wide mid-off and for a four!
fuller outside the off-stump and he is able to spank it away to wide long-off for a couple of runs
pitched right up to the bat, outside the off-stump and pretty quick too, jams the bat down and plays it back to the bowler
full-toss and swings it away to deep mid-wicket for a single
back to over the wicket, on the off stump and fuller, takes it as a full-toss, drives it down to long-on for a single, oh wait, they come back for the second too!
round the stumps and angling in, that is tucked away to fine-leg for a four! there was no fielder outside the circle and easily beats the in-fielder through to the fence, this is getting over very quickly
After making heavy weather of the chase, the Renegades are in the driver's seat now. 14 needed from 12 and Perera comes in now.
full-toss and Sheridan has smacked him over mid-wicket for another four, suddenly the Renegades are favourites here
attempts a yorker but it very well wide outside the off, had he left it, would have been a wide, but gets a bat to third-man
bludgeoned for another six! they were struggling to get it away till the last over and suddenly Rohrer has swung across and sent it into the stands behind mid-wicket!
slower one outside the off stump, pushes it to the point fielder for a quickly taken single
Well played Cooper, 29 from 15 for him.
and now he is gone, lbw! if the first one was short, this is very full and straight and Cooper was on the back foot trying to flick it away, misses and the ball hits the back-foot, in line with the off stump and given out lbw!
smashed 'im! that is a biggie first ball and big one in terms of the context of the game, it was short and he walked across to the off side and pulled it over fine-leg for a six!
Going neck-in-neck, 32 needed from three. Roach will bowl one of his remaining two overs.
he looks to move around in his crease, was full-toss outside the off and gets a bit of bat on it to take it to the third-man fielder, 14 off that one
fuller and on the off stump, driven through the covers for a couple of runs
another one that just does not come on, it was a slower one alright but fuller and Cooper sweeps it through fine-leg for a four, the fielder was up inside the circle
that is a very slow ball, and turning a little too, wants to smack it through the covers but misses
yes sir, that is what is needed by the home side, he was expecting it to be a short of length ball and he moves across to the off and ramps it over mid-wicket for a six!
shorter in length and on the leg-stump line, he tries to pull it away without success, hits the pads and runs way to point for a leg-bye
46 needed off four.
quicker and outside the off, fuller as well and he cuts it away to third-man but only for a single
