Scorchers vs Thunder, 13th Match at Perth, Jan 01 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

the round of applause starts even as Richardson is running in. The WACA is delighted with their team's work. And it ends with a rip-roaring bouncer. Angled into the right-hander, makes him sway out of the way and the ramp shot is in vain

full toss on leg stump, launches it to the long-on boundary

thick outside edge flies past the keeper's right. Whiteman dives in the hopes of taking a catch, but the ball just came off too quickly

free hit ball amounts to nothing. It's full and outside off, the batsman makes room to smash it down the ground and ends up making too much to connect

slower ball, and he oversteps as well. McKay hammers it over extra cover

steps down the track to make sure a ball aimed for the blockhole is taken on the full. Smashed to mid-off

goes for the yorker on leg stump, McKay is making room, tries to slice it behind point, but ends up with an inside edge

full toss on middle, slugs it to long-on

gets a thick inside edge as he tonks the length ball on middle stump to deep midwicket

manages to get under this length ball on leg stump and heaves it to deep midwicket

chips to long-on as Tye continues changing his pace, but makes sure the batsman is cramped this time as he swings

full and wide outside off, Green takes aim towards cow corner and is comfortably beaten. Another slower ball lands right for Tye

full toss on leg stump, dabs it into the point region

wears a short ball on the chest as he attempts a feeble little pull shot. Not sure he saw the ball properly there

shortish and outside off, steers it to deep third man

legcutter, short of a length and cramping the batsman up, single into the covers

pocks inside the line of the ball, outside off, and gets an outside edge to third man

what a throw! Cummins is caught short by the wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman, who first takes off towards square leg in hopes of getting under a top edge. When that didn't happen, he realises he has a run-out chance. He has already done away with his right glove. Picks it up with his left hand, turns around and transfers the ball into his right, all in one motion, takes aim and hits the mark

full and outside off, smears it to long-off
