short ball wide of off, he cracks a pull shot wide of mid on!
Sixers vs Stars, 10th Match at Sydney, BBL, Dec 27 2018 - Match Result
Stars won by 5 wickets (with 31 balls remaining)
The Stars win by five wickets with 31 balls to spare. That was a clinic from Peter Handscomb. Magnificent batting on a surface where a lot of players had trouble timing the ball. He used his feet beautifully and timed the ball sweetly. He is the Player of the Match. Handscomb tells Channel Seven "I said before the game it's only two games into a 14-game season. Hopefully this can kick start us and get us on a roll now." The Stars get their first win of the season. The Sixers have lost two in a row. The Sixers need to regroup against the Renegades in two days time. Thanks for your company tonight. Join us again tomorrow night as the Hurricanes host the Thunder in Hobart, Until then, goodbye.
big flash and miss driving on the up at a ball angled across
he pushes off the back foot to the right of backward point
Two slips in
caught behind! Slower ball wide of off does the trick. He just rolled the fingers over an off cutter, he leaned back to leather it through point, got a thin edge through to the keeper
punched off the back foot wide of mid off! This was hit with incredible power! He just stood up and crushed it past the man on the circle
brilliant slog sweep picking the gap at deep midwicket! He took the chance hitting against the turn and found the gap well
full outside off, he drives to long off for a single
short ball on leg, he was back and whipping this to deep midwicket
78kph leg break, he pushes a drive just back past Denly diving to his left and down to long off
leg break, tossed up, he chips this lifting it up and over cover for an easy two
leg break on off, he pushes forward to cover's left and they pinch one
Denly on
full outside off, he pierces the gap a cover with a trademark drive leaning back, doesn't get it to the rope but runs three
Michael: "I had a century and a five-for against my nephews in a game of backyard yesterday! Expecting a call-up to play for NSW tomorrow. Different formats, sure, but you can only perform in the format you're playing! (Handscomb is not an international test batsman at this stage)" He looked a cut above this level tonight. And has looked good at Shield level. Which might say more about Australian domestic cricket at the moment than Handscomb
short ball, 135kph, on off, he pulls to deep forward square
caught at mid on! He skies a top edge straight up! Shorter length, not quite short enough to pull, he got a top edge off the toe end of the bat, it flew straight up to mid on, Silk cruises under it and takes the catch comfortably
145kph, good length, wide of off, he runs this off the face to third man
129kph, good length wide of off, he lets this go
caught at mid off! Henriques held this one. Fuller on off, he tries to place this wide of mid off instead of going over the top, but he didn't time it, Henriques moving to his left on the circle takes the catch at waist-height
125kph, back of a length, he backs away and hammers it back at Abbott who blocks it off the body! He smashed that
131kph, shorter on off, he's back and tucking this past the square leg umpire and they run well
132kph, banged in, he skips down and backs away and crunches this flat in the air for a way but well short of deep cover
