Hurricanes vs Sixers, 1st Match at Hobart, BBL, Dec 10 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary

full outside off again, clubbed to long-on

fuller outside off, makes room and drills it straight back past the bowler

full on the legs again. Brathwaite is making a giant stride to clear his front leg and that gives him room to swing freely but the length is such that he can only send it along the ground to deep midwicket

full outside off, moves across and swipes across the line to deep midwicket

chipped to cover. Superb bowling. He kept it full and on the legside - exactly the plan Christian himself bowled in fact - and although Christian was making room, the ball was still too close to him. Tried to steer it away but ended up chipping to the man

low full toss on leg stump ,he's clearing his front leg and swinging mightily, gets it off the middle but it's to deep midwicket and there's a fielder there

moved across to try and swing it over midwicket but the ball goes through him

brilliant shot-making. Slower ball on the stumps, waited for it, went down and used his wrists to flick it very fine

high full toss, slapped over extra cover with no timing at all. They hustle two runs. It's close to a no-ball for height, but just under the waist

full outside off, Christian holds his shape this time to thump a straight off drive. Long-off is not very wide though so can cut it off to his right

Was clearing his front leg so Ellis bowled it wide outside off. I thought that was inside the tramline but the umpire has called it wide

through him. In the channel outside off and he swishes at it but doesn't connect

caught at long-off. He had to go for it but wasn't in great position. Silk moved across but the ball was wide outside off, he wanted to slam it over cover but ends up splicing it and it swirls to long-off

full toss, attempted yorker gone wrong perhaps, but Silk can't take advantage of it. Tough to do when he pace is nudging 147 clicks, and he just manages to flick it to deep square leg on the bounce

and now a 148.5 kph ball in the same area - back of a length and into the batsman who's making room. He gets it high on the bat as he's trying to pull as the ball trickles into the legside

length ball on leg stump, slower one again, but this time he's ready for it and swivels to pull. Can't place it wide of the deep square leg though

banged in at 149.5 kph into his body, he's clearing his front leg and wants to pull but doesn't time it. Goes to midwicket off the under-edge

inside edge cannons into the stumps. Meredith on fire. Full outside off, this was one of his slower balls I think, and Hughes aimed to launch a cover drive at it. Takes the inside edge and clatters into the stumps

he's moving across and so the bowler bowls it across him and wider. Back of a length. Misses the pull

low full toss on off, he's moving across and uses wrists to flick powerfully to deep midwicket, but there's a fielder there
