117 kph, taken at long-on. Another cutter on middle and leg, let's be honest, that was right in the slot. Smashed down to long-on, where Archer takes a catch running in. Hobart Hurricanes win four games on the bounce for the first time since their first four games since existence
Hurricanes vs Heat, 24th Match at Brisbane, Jan 10 2018 - Match Result
9.55pm You want a typical T20 in 2018, that's it. It was a James Anderson T20, swinging one way, then the other, then the other, then the other. Eventually, it came down to 13 off 6 balls, and the Hurricanes scraped past the Heat. But it didn't look like there would have been a last over, the way the wickets were falling.
But as you have it in T20s, it changes hands. The Heat kept finding the boundary when they needed it desperately. But the moment of this innings was surely the incredulous obstructing the field dismissal of Alex Ross, a decision that may have been wrong. Felt like the umpire gave him out just because he changed his angle. Anyway, the Hurricanes, as McCullum said, were deserving winners.
D'Arcy Short: "Hasn't sunk it, maybe later tonight, it will. I'd rather get there quickly, was playing on my mind a little bit. Not trying to go out all guns blazing right away."
Brendon McCullum: "Personally, I thought it wasn't the right decision. If I get fined for that, fair play. They deserved to win, but a shame it was marred by that. The way Short played, brilliant. Proud of the fact if we get beaten, we make the opposition beat us."
George Bailey: "We appealed for the run-out. I'm learning the rule as we speak, we saw Ross change his angle, and asked the umpire to check for obstructing the field. It's a scary place to play here. They come out all guns blazing, so an intimidating place to play."
Right then, 4 off 1
a low full toss, shovelled away through midwicket for two. Peirson chooses to come back for the second.
another offcutter, another bye, 116 kph, goes past Peirson's flick. Looked like he wanted two. But they will get one. Haven't seen so many dives at a swimming pool
7 off 3.
113 kph, offcutter around off, driven to long-off. Good result for Hurricanes.
just one that time. Or a run and a run-out? Good length delivery around off, skewed to long-off. The throw to Christian, who takes his time, decides not to throw, then changes his mind and hits the stumps at the batsman's end. Doggett makes it with another acrobatic full-length dive. Wild finish
9 off 5
full around off, jammed away past the stumps for a couple to long-on.
a slower delivery drifts down leg, wide. Peirson goes through for the run. Wade misses at the batsman's end. Christian runs lackadaisically towards the bowler's end, chooses not to throw and allows an extra run. He had to throw, there was no way Peirson would have come back if he missed. Poor game awareness
Christian, 13 off 6. He had injured his finger earlier so this is his first over. Big move. Experience bowler. Doggett on strike
they get four,wow, surely heat are favourites now. A low full toss, Peirson backs away, and drills a drive right back, picked his area, smashed for four.
A boundary makes Heat favourites
carved away over point for a couple. Full and wide outside off, Peirson carves a cut over the point fielder. Race back for two.
swatted for four. Under 20 required now. Short delivery outside off, Peirson is hurried for pace but hits the ball past mid-off for four. He looked to hit that over mid-off, but that pace meant he was late on the shot
144 kph, another wide yorker, but this is deemed too wide for legality
150 kph, so quick it goes underneath the bat. A wide yorker outside off, beats Steketee. Wade takes one glove off and fires a throw to the batsman's end, misses, the ball goes to Archer, who has plenty of time to take off the bails.
misses his length and Steketee gives it a good thwack over the bowler. Catch that, he says. Another low full toss on off, smashed away over long-on
a wide yorker again, 145 kph, jammed out towards silly point. Archer runs it down, tries to kick it onto the stumps, misses
31 off 12. McCullum has a chat with a match official. Archer will bowl this.
Andrew Hayden: "That is a scandalous decision! Ross was running away from the ball. Should have been not out."
fires it in, on middle and leg, flicked to deep midwicket
flat around middle and leg, Peirson comes down and flicks the ball into the gap at square leg for two. This game ain't done
six more. In the slot, Peirson gets underneath the length and nails a drive right back at the bowler, smashes the sightscreen and does some equipment damage.
drilled away towards cover for a run, to deep cover.
smashed for six. Flat around off, Steketee goes back and swats the heave over long-on. Enough timing
full and wide outside off, driven down to long-off
