Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat, 10th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Michael Neser 4-32(4 ov)
13.6
Neser to Russell, no run, dug in really short, proper bumper and Russell misses the ramp
13.5
Neser to Russell, FOUR, neatly played! Short ball on the hips and Russell across to play a one-legged whip-pull down the leg-side. There was a fine leg in place but he has gotten this much finer
13.4
Neser to Russell, no run, swing and a miss! Slower ball into the surface, Russell wants to target the square boundary again but heaves a bit too early. Good variation from Neser
13.3
Neser to Finch, 1 run, short of a length well outside off, Finch stays on the back foot and punches this to deep cover
13.2
Neser to Finch, 2 runs, pitched up on middle and leg, Finch shuffles a bit and wrists it away past mid-wicket. Long-on gets across to his right to mop up
13.1
Neser to Russell, 1 run, full and on the pads, Russell clips it away down to fine leg
4.6
Neser to Russell, no run, angling in from around off, Russell makes a hint of room and defends down the pitch
4.5
Neser to Russell, SIX, successive sixes! Russell is doing some counterattack here and there is a method to the madness as well. Sees the hard length coming, backs away and heave-pulls it away. It's gone more off the top-edge but these square boundaries so short, so even a mishit of Russell will always clear the rope
4.4
Neser to Russell, SIX, clubbed! On that good length spot and it's in the arc for Russell who clears his front leg for a mighty slog. Big dimensions at wide long-on but there is no ground big enough for Russell, is there?
4.3
Neser to Russell, no run, banged in short, well-directed at Russell who had backed away initially and then got forced to duck
4.2
Neser to Russell, no run, cracker of a delivery! Sees Russell backing away but Neser doesn't lose the plot, keeps it on a good length around middle-and-leg, and this shapes away past the poking blade of Dre Russ
4.1
Neser to Russell, no run, back of a length, nips in a touch as Russell gets cramped on the back foot. Fends awkwardly onto the pitch
2.6
Neser to Russell, SIX, Russell has had enough of sighters! Goes boom! In-angling length ball, he clears his front leg and heaves this over deep square leg. Short square boundaries here and this has gone into the second tier. Renegades don't have to worry about 15 all out
2.5
Neser to Russell, no run, slightly fuller this time, Russell presses forward and blocks
2.4
Neser to Russell, no run, shaping away from a wider outside off, hard length, Russell goes chasing with a slash and is beaten
2.3
Neser to Russell, byes, FOUR, how has this missed the stumps? My word! Cracking nip-backer from Neser, too good a nut from Neser and Russell is cut into half. Beaten on the inside edge and it was so close to clipping the leg bail. The movement beats Peirson too as he dives in vain down the leg-side
2.2
Neser to Wells, out Bowled!! Neser gets a hat-trick!! You absolute champion! It's mayhem out there at the middle. Brain fade from Wells first ball, shoulders arms to a delivery that was always coming into the right-hander. Hint of inward movement and the bails are dislodged. What a new-ball spell this is from one of Australia's veteran domestic performers. He breathed fire in the recent Australia-South Africa Test match and this surface isn't a lot different from some spicy Test pitches we've seen. Wells b Neser 0(1)
2.1
Neser to Maddinson, out Bowled!! Neser is on a rampage here! He's struck thrice early and this is a huge wicket of the in-form Maddinson. It's the away-angler that pitches around off stump and straightens off the deck just a tad to undo Maddinson completely. He was looking to run this down to third man but it catches the bottom part of the blade and disturbs the timber. It's all of a sudden proving to be a very tough target for the Gades. They can't keep losing wickets to this new ball. Maddinson b Neser 2(4)
0.6
Neser to Jake Fraser, out Caught by Peirson!! Finds the edge this time! Almost a replica of the previous ball, except that McGurk gets a thin nick on this. Another probing outswinger from Neser, testing length on that good length spot and McGurk's feet go nowhere on the drive. Not the right approach for a batter on this pitch and he pays the price. Heat on a roll here through Neser's opening over. Jake Fraser c Peirson b Neser 6(5) [4s-1]
0.5
Neser to Jake Fraser, no run, lovely outswinger, jags away from around off and beats McGurk on the outside edge as he looks to poke tentatively
0.4
Neser to Jake Fraser, 2 runs, widish outswinger and McGurk flashes hard on the drive. Slices it completely and just manages to clear cover Almost runs away to the fence
0.3
Neser to Jake Fraser, no run, fourth stump line, Test match length from Neser and jags away a bit, McGurk shoulders arms
0.2
Neser to Jake Fraser, FOUR, McGurk is up and away! Fractionally wide, back of a length and McGurk rises on his toes to punch this through the stacked off-side ring. Threads the gap somehow and it races away
0.1
Neser to Sam Harper, out Caught by Munro!! Neser strikes first ball! Heat couldn't have asked for a better start to the second half. Not quite the ideal wicket-taking delivery from Neser first up, leg-lined delivery that holds onto the pitch just a bit. Harper looks to flick and ends up chipping a dolly to square leg. Good low catch by Munro and Renegades have been dented early. Sam Harper c Munro b Neser 0(1)
