Strikers vs Thunder, 29th Match at Sydney, Jan 18 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

six-for and he's finished it off with a cracking googly. The defending champions have been knocked out. This is a short ball that fizzes back in, he backs away to cut, but is done in by the pace. The ball crashes into the middle stump. What a spell by Sodhi.

stabs forward and pushes it to cover

at the moment, it appears like all Sodhi needs to do to take a wicket is just turn up and bowl. Floats a legspinner outside off, he looks to fetch a slog sweep from outside off, connects well but finds deep midwicket. < b> These are the best figures now by an Adelaide Strikers' bowler.

flipper outside off, mistime an attempted cut to cover

this time he gets it right. Backs away, picks the length early and pulls him imperiously over deep midwicket

waist-high full toss that could have been swung anywhere to the leg side, McKay hits it straight to cover

full toss outside off, crashed to deep cover

backs away to cut, chops it to cover

worked to square leg with the spin

this is a wrong'un that rolls off a thick inside edge to mid-on

drawn into the drive and has been snuffed out by one that turns away sharply. Tempts him with flight and then traps him. The hard push finds the thinnest of edges that is taken well by Carey

gets to the pitch of the ball and dabs it to cover

another one for Sodhi. This is a sensational spell. Flight, turn and bounce. This one spins back in sharply, the batsman looks to force that past midwicket. The mistake he did was to play outside the line. The umpire quickly raised the finger. That would missed leg according to hawkeye

wrong'un that stops on him, worked to short third man but Lendon was halfway down the pitch when he was sent back. Sodhi does well to collect the throw cleanly and break the bails at the bowler's end. Not even a full-length dive could save Gibson. This is all folding up quickly for Thunder. They're right on the edge

tossed up on leg stump, the batman does well to smother the spin and work it back down the pitch

into the blockhole, worked wide of square leg towards the man coming in from the deep

nearly chipped that back to the bowler, who moves to his left and stops it on his followthrough

too short and he's lucky to get away with that. Swivels back and pulls it all along the ground to deep square leg

drifting into middle and leg, worked with the angle to deep midwicket

too full on the pads, turned to midwicket

too short, he rocks back, uses the width and carves this behind point. Top shot, great timing
