Hurricanes vs Strikers, 31st Match at Adelaide, BBL 2023, Jan 09 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Threads it through this time. Was wide and overpitched, Overton reached out and crunched it along the ground behind square. All fielders were in the ring.

Huge appeal for caught behind, not given! That was a very wide fullish ball, Overton tried reaching out and slashing it square. From the replay, it looks like there was an edge but Hobart are out of reviews! Anderson was cross and told the umpire that the batter could've reviewed if it'd have been given out

Length on off, short-arm jabs it to midwicket. The game will go to a final over

Length on fifth, late cut to backward point

Skied but there's no one at short fine leg. Was a length ball on the pads, Kelly tried to shovel it fine, got a top proper edge but got lucky

Length around sixth, worked to long-on

Length on fifth, driven to long-off

Length on off, worked to the left of midwicket. Fielder slides across to cut off the run

Carey makes loads of room, Jordan tries following him with a slower one into the pitch. A cross-bat slap is attempted and edged, taken by Ellis at cover

Low fully on off, 138ks, flicked to deep square leg

Slower one keeps low and below Kelly's bat swing across the line. Offcutter on a tad back of length, spun back in, not far from off

Yorker just down leg, he was across to off and tried to glance it fine. Goes past him

Back of length at the body, helped away to deep-backward square

Lands just in front of the crease, fifth-stump line at 136ks, driven to long-off

Slow on a back of length at the body, bunt-pulled to deep-backward square

Very full and low, Carey reaches out and dunks it into the pitch. It rolls to mid-off

Another edge goes over short third. Was very full and wide, Carey tried to go over cover. The ball went off the outer-half of the bottom of the bat. Short third remaining inside costs Strikers

Caught-behind appeal. Not given. Ellis has a chat, doesn't look convinced but there's not much to lose. Review taken. Wide yorker, landed right on the crease and went along the off-side tramline. Carey's feet were widely placed as he tried to steer it. No sound detected when bat's next to ball. Not out

Threads it past the diving cover fielder despite absolutely toeing the drive. Was a low fully outside off, almost beat Carey but his reach and one-handed contact was just enough

Wide on a yorker length, Carey tries to drive through cover. Goes under bat

Outside edge will do. Flashed over short third. Overpitched and Carey got low to try and open up cover, went through with flash. Ball ballooned well over the fielders and had enough pace to race away
