he clears the leg side, heaves a low full toss over deep midwicket, but it makes no difference
Strikers vs Hurricanes, 43rd Match at Launceston, BBL, Jan 19 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Adelaide Strikers win by 10 runs and move into second in the table. A very good all-round display, led by Travis Head with the bat, and they survived David Miller's belated arrival at the tournament. The Strikers weren't perfect with the ball, but Siddle's experience at the death was again vital. He's become a go-to T20 bowler. That's all-but the end of the Hurricanes' season, overall their batting just hasn't been able to put things together this season.
There's loads more cricket to come today. The next BBL match starts shortly at the Gabba (AB de Villiers and all) while there's the deciding ODI between India and Australia in Bangalore. I'll say goodbye for now, enjoy the rest of the action and I'll catch you for more BBL during the week.
another low full toss outside leg, worked to deep square leg
full and straight, driven to long-off...Siddle has done it again
Three sixes for a Super Over
a low full toss, heaved to deep midwicket and they decline the single
oh, that's brilliant from Siddle, gets the yorker and all he can do is jab it square through point
he misses! Full outside leg, Siddle shows his experience, Miller ends up falling over as this goes between his legs
So it's 21 needed off the last over. Steep, but...
short, hammered, brilliant work by Rashid Khan at deep square! It's all happening. Miller pulled this right off the middle, Rashid sprawled to cut it off. Miller has the strike
This is a huge ball...
moves across outside off and scoops a low full toss square into the leg side
short of a length outside off, a slower ball, can only square drive to deep cover
straight down the ground, six more! He's giving this one heck of shake. Neser can't get his yorker in there, Miller strikes through the line over long-off
David: "Stuart's completely correct - just a steady diet of legside rubbish, and Miller's dispatching them all out of the ground."
a low full toss, heaved into midwicket and Miller dives to make his ground for the second
The box of balls is back out in the middle
MASSIVE! Full on the pads, he's swing this over the stand at deep square leg. Oh boy. Not a great ball, right in the slot
Neser for the penultimate over. Think they are checking of the batsmen crossed when the catch was taken. It's close. Pretty important this. Decided Miller didn't cross so is on strike
Miller still there, but it will need something special. Stuart: "Strikers have not bowled outside off to Miller at all, rubbish bowling to him."
super catch by Siddle at third man! Agar may have got a bit lucky here, was short outside off, Rose made decent connection as he slices it away but close enough to Siddle that he can run around the boundary
terrific shot from Rose! Full and straight, drives inside out over mid-off
fuller, outside leg, misses his swing and gets taken on the pad...for some reason Agar appeals
They've managed to get the ball back
that's gone miles! Poor ball, really, on a length outside leg, a free swing of the arms for Miller and that's out of the ground over fine leg
down to deep square leg...full and straight, Bailey aimed to pick it up over the leg side but can't get the distance
full, wide outside off, Bailey somehow swings it down to third man of the top edge...Siddle slides across the rope, not sure he's kept that in. Actually, he may have done very well. Good work from Siddle
Agar for his last
A rare expensive outing for Rashid
finds the gap, that was a very crisp pull as Rashid drags it down, Miller on it in a flash...the hope lingers, just, for the Hurricanes
a googly, steps back and drives to deep cover
Over 20 • HH 176/6
Strikers won by 10 runs
