Dolphins vs Scorchers, 4th Match, Group A at Mohali, Sep 20 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
A game that was meandering along hurtled to an amazing finish. Mitchell Marsh was their trump card and boy did he ever show up. But the excitement is not quite done yet. The big-hitting Kings XI Punjab and Caribbean champions Barbados Tridents are coming at you at the other scorecard. Do jump over there soon as you can. For now, this is Alagappan Muthu signing off
Mitch Marsh: My partner was saying clear your head and swing hard. Lost for words. They hit their yorkers really well, could have gone either way, we were lucking enough to win. Usually I'm not in for the last two balls, so glad I was there at the end"
"What a finish, An incredible game, we played really well," says Adan Voges." To get 12 off the last two balls and Mitch hitting them for sixes. Great. They batted deep so they kept coming. Joel Paris bowled beautifully early on, things went a little awry in the latter stages. In the Big Bash we found ways to win games and Kolkata is next"
Oddly enough Craig Simmons gets the maximum sixes award, because his two hits went further.
Sam Whiteman: "Unncessary risk to get out. Was nervous sitting in the dug out, But with Mitch in the crease, we knew he could get it. He's pretty pumped up, saw him hit Dale Steyn for a few sixes so we knew he could do it"
vijay: "wow! South Africa have done it again... choked!"
Ozee: "Marsh has done a double Maindad here"
DanielAlexander: "Marsh did what Dhoni did't do in the England T20, took the single"
Morne van Wyk: Could be on either side of it today, just roll with it. Proud of the way we fought, but a game like this is great for cricket. Feel for Robbie, he's part of the reason we're here and he'll get it next time. Credit t othe scorchers, we pulled things back a bit from them. Showed character, hung in there. A win would have been nice, but we take a lot of confidence on the board.
Marsh saw the trajectory and knew it was going out of the ground. Turned around and raced away to the dig out, Ashton Turner at the other end was bellowing like he had hit the winnings runs. The chase was meandering a bit, it was a big total to get and Kyle Abbott and Robbie Frylinck did their best to make it seem bigger. But 2014 has been Marsh's year, he won the BBL final, he's in the Australia Test squad and here he has snared the spotlight

Asif Raza: "This is T20 and anything can happen in last two overs. Although 28 from 12 balls seems imposibble given the greaat death bowling of Abott and Frylinck." Just the kind of game we want, eh?
