Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers, 24th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Matthew Kelly 3-30(4 ov)
18.6
Kelly to Chris Green, 2 runs, very full and on leg stump, jammed out towards square leg and they race back for the second. Means that Jason Sangha will be on strike at the start of the final over
18.5
Kelly to McAndrew, out Bowled!! Back to the yorker and it does the job for Kelly! Excellent execution and when this delivery is bowled well, there aren't many batters who can slog it away. McAndrew tries, but in vain and hears the rattle of timber behind him. Scorchers chipping away at the wickets at the back end. McAndrew b Kelly 6(5) [4s-1]
18.4
Kelly to McAndrew, FOUR, belted away! Kelly looks for the change-up, slower ball well wide outside off and McAndrew flat-bats it over extra cover. Intention was to always go over the infield and he did it with ease
18.3
Kelly to McAndrew, no run, nails the yorker again, this is terrific from Kelly and McAndrew can only bunt this towards extra cover
18.2
Kelly to McAndrew, no run, cracking wide yorker, well-executed and McAndrew fails to get bat on it
18.1
Kelly to McAndrew, 2 runs, low full toss, drilled straight back past the bowler, to long-on. Bigger part of the ground there, so a two is always on
10.6
Kelly to Jason Sangha, FOUR, not sure if he intended to get it this fine but those wrists of Sangha are surely a work of magic. This was a low full toss on the pads and he whipped it away using all of it, a bit of the inside half of the blade too and with fine leg quite square, this was always going to the fence
10.5
Kelly to Jason Sangha, 2 runs, dug in short but not high enough to threaten Sangha who swivels and pulls it through square leg. In the gap and they get a brace
10.4
Kelly to Jason Sangha, 2 runs, goes really full and on off stump, driven straight back past the bowler and Sangha wanted two as soon as he struck this. They get it with ease
10.3
Kelly to Jason Sangha, no run, low full toss, jammed out to mid-wicket
10.2
Kelly to Billings, 1 run, fuller and straighter, worked away down to long-on
10.1
Kelly to Jason Sangha, 1 run, very full and on leg stump, whipped away to deep backward square leg
3.6
Kelly to Billings, FOUR, Billings is off the blocks with a gorgeous on-drive, was a fullish inswinger from Kelly and it's stroked beautifully past mid-on. Tye gave chase and did well to haul it back initially but couldn't prevent himself from touching the rope
3.5
Kelly to Hales, out Bowled!! Cleans him up! Excellent bowling from Kelly, slow yorker and Hales is completely duped by the lack of pace on this one. Gets his bat down a bit too early and is through the shot well before the ball has arrived. The yorkerish length doesn't help either in such a scenario and the stumps are disturbed. Thunder in early trouble here. Hales b Kelly 13(11) [4s-1 6s-1]
3.4
Kelly to Jason Sangha, 1 run, massive top-edge, falls amidst a group of fielders! Huge slice of luck for Sangha as he got into a real tangle against this short ball, couldn't control the pull at all and is fortunate that this mishit landed safely at mid-wicket. Quite a few Scorchers players were on this, just eluded all of them
3.3
Kelly to Jason Sangha, no run, has another go but misses this time! Another fullish outswinger, Sangha throws his hands at it and is beaten by a mile
3.2
Kelly to Jason Sangha, FOUR, clubbed away! On a length, in the arc for Sangha who heaves it away wide of the mid-on fielder. Uppish but it was also in the gap
3.1
Kelly to Jason Sangha, no run, swing and a miss! Sangha with the charge down the track and looking to go downtown but was nowhere close to the pitch of this. There is a bit of outswing too and he misses it by a mile
1.6
Kelly to Hales, no run, slower ball, Hales waits and punches it straight to short cover
1.5
Kelly to Jason Sangha, 1 run, back of a length outside off, steered away down to third man
1.4
Kelly to Jason Sangha, no run, short of a length around off, tight lines and Sangha defends this softly towards backward point
1.3
Kelly to Matthew Gilkes, out Caught by (sub)Nick Hobson!! That's a very soft dismissal! Gilkes will be livid with himself. Leg-stump half-volley, he could have put this anywhere and actually did time the drop-kick loft well, but picked out deep backward square leg with precision. A yard either side and it was a certain boundary, but it wasn't to be. Thunder are rocked early. Matthew Gilkes c (sub)Nick Hobson b Kelly 2(3)
1.2
Kelly to Hales, 1 run, back of a length, follows Hales who backs away to play the pull shot. No timing and he gets this down towards long-on
1.1
Kelly to Matthew Gilkes, 1 run, full and shaping in a fraction, Gilkes jams it towards mid-wicket
