I dead set can't believe that last ball. What is this, the 99 WC?

 

[Spark]

Donald and Klusener would be proud.

At least that was off a legitimate delivery!

 

[vic_orthdox]

Ridiculous stuff.

 

[Starfighter]

1wd 6 6 W 1wd W 1wd . W+1wd

That's a match winning over ladies and gentleman. Possibly the worst I've seen, for more than one reason.

Cricinfo's summary:

Credit to Harriott and Rimmington for keeping their head when Renegades' season was on the line.

Does bowling four wides (and two shorter deliveries that went for six) in the final over with the opposition needing eighteen really count?

 

[Spikey]

Yeah only credit the good sydney boy

 

[Daemon]

omg where's dan

 

[Spikey]

man i hope dan wasn't at the cave concert tonight because i could have given him so much wrestling if he was

 

[Johnners]

Dissapointed the Heat lost but definitely a good night all the same. Heat fielding cost them the game afaic, were so sloppy compared to the Renegades even if you ignored the dropped catches.

Also FYI according to the bloke sitting 3 rows back from me "cutting you've been **** since you met that Karen"

 

[mr_mister]

Cutting is still great to watch when he's hitting well tho, for a a few seasons now I havent given a stuff about his bowling


and that last ball wicket reminded me of an indoor cricket dismissal

 

[Prince EWS]

From what I can see his record is okay? Has he just regressed a lot?

Great gatherer though.

His record was absolutely awesome in the first few seasons of T20 domestic cricket in Australia (was even better in List A cricket at the time I believe); I think he's been worked out a bit as the game has evolved though.

Wasn't even the most ridiculous BBL finish of the day. Stars women needed 12 off two balls and achieved it with a single. Six, no ball four, single. And the no ball from a spinner

and they didnt even bring the field in for the single!!

Haha, they weren't allowed to. Can't change the field from a free hit unless the striker changes, which it didn't with the boundary. Truly bizarre finish when you only need to defend 12 from 2 balls, your spinner can't keep their foot behind the line (or inside the line, unsure if it was a side crease no ball) then the batting side gets the luxury of milking a single with boundary riders.

Not quite as bizarre as the one-day game in NZ when Auckland needed 12 off 1 ball, Graeme Aldridge bowled a beamer that Andre Adams nicked for four (no balls were worth two at that time) then slammed the final ball for six to win.

Yeah indeed, back in around 2010 I was definitely calling for his T20i inclusion, alongside the likes of Lee Carseldine. Was a genuine gun in the early days.

 

[NUFAN]

Superb catch by Clivey Rose.

 

[stephen]

Terrific catch.

 

[Starfighter]

Comment from crapinfo caught my eye:

This BBL has been the best season so far, last match coming up and top 4 still not decided

That's been more to do with lack of quality of the cricket actually...

 

[Prince EWS]

"Best season" and "highest quality cricket" aren't necessarily the same thing.

 

[Spikey]

Haddin tried his best to keep Gulbis in there over Dussey but alas
