low full-toss and that is smashed back hard down the ground, past the bowler. Too quick for long-on to stop it, but it's all along the ground, and he'll only get four for it
Scorchers vs Hurricanes, 25th Match at Hobart, Jan 10 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
7.25pm One big six and 14 runs off that over, but it's slightly deceptive, masks how well Tye bowled those yorkers. Steals a one-run win for the Scorchers, who go joint-top of the BBL leaderboard. Hurricanes are out of the reckoning for the semis. An exciting finish to a highly watchable, high-scoring game. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm off, but do tune in to today's second match, which is about to begin at the SCG. Ta ta!
zips through, another yorker, run out. Sammy looks to whip through the leg side, misses, and Wells sets off to steal a bye. Sammy just stands there, he's also injured so it would have been impossible for him to get to the other end anyway. The keeper rolls it to the bowler, who takes the bails off and brings it down to six off the last ball
oh my. After those two pinpoint yorkers, a wide and full one, and it isn't full enough to deny elevation. Sammy frees his arms and lifts it up and over cover point
another super yorker, on middle and leg, Sammy can only jab it back to the bowler after getting his feet out of the way
yorker on middle stump, jabbed back down the ground and the bowler gets a hand on it to slow it down. Easy two down to long-on, but a torturous two for Sammy, who somehow hobbles and makes it through
And Sammy seems to have pulled a muscle in his left leg while running the second run. Support staff comes out to attend to him.
fullish length ball on the pads and Sammy doesn't time the pick-up shot at all. Fielder runs in from deep midwicket, to his left, gets both hands to it, and drops a sitter.
Sixteen to get from the last over. Cheers and whistles ringing out all around the stands as Tye runs in.
sees him shuffle across his stumps and follows with the full ball. Goes through with the scoop and he gets it over the keeper and it rolls slowly but surely over the rope as short fine leg gives desperate chase
another full-toss, a bit lower this time, swatted to deep midwicket
another full-toss, this one's a little higher and wider, and Sammy will put those away in his sleep. Lots of hitting room, and he just about clears deep midwicket
they're not able to time these full-tosses. This one's at shin height outside off and he can only swipe it away to the left of deep midwicket
full-toss on off stump and he backs away to slap it and cover dives to his right to cut it off
full-toss outside off, steps across and swats it to deep midwicket
slower ball on middle stump and Wells puts it away, makes room and steers it away to the vacant third man boundary, great use of the hands and wrists there
slower ball, back of a length and angling into the batsman. Looks to whip it off his legs and is through it too quickly, the ball hits him on the thigh
full on off stump and that is a super shot from Sammy, makes just a bit of room and whips his wrists through the drive to beat cover to his right and long-off diving futilely to his left
slower ball, back of a length on off stump, slapped towards sweeper cover
sees Wells making room and looks to follow him, ends up firing a full wide down the leg side
Darren Sammy. He's the ideal player for this sort of situation, but he's been a little out of sorts so far in this tournament.
slower length ball wide of off stump, looks for the slog over the on side and can only pick out long-on
full on off stump, flat-batted hard down the ground to long-off
Excellent final over from Willey. 44 to get from the last three
wide yorker, saw him looking to make room, and it's past him before he can jab his bat down on it
