PERTH SCORCHERS' INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Ben Cutting to Michael Klinger, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one  (1) 
0.2  Ben Cutting to Shaun Marsh, He shuffles across the stumps, and paddles the ball straight into his legstump! Ouch, that's tough luck, but he has to go!

Shaun Marsh                          b Ben Cutting
Runs : 0       Balls : 1         S/R : 0

  (0) 
0.3  Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up.  (2) 
0.4  Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0) 
0.5  Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark.  (0) 
0.6  Ben Cutting to Michael Carberry, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot!  (4)

1.1  James Hopes to Michael Klinger, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
1.2  James Hopes to Michael Carberry, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
1.3  James Hopes to Michael Carberry, Inside edge, and past the stumps. The batsmen take a quick single  (1) 
1.4  James Hopes to Michael Klinger, Short and pulled away for a single  (1)

  (0) 
2.2  Ben Cutting to Adam Voges, Very well bowled.  (0) 
2.3  Ben Cutting to Adam Voges, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region.  (4) 
2.4  Ben Cutting to Adam Voges, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0) 
2.5  Ben Cutting to Adam Voges, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
2.6  Ben Cutting to Adam Voges, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0)

3.3  James Hopes to Michael Carberry, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three.  (3) 
3.4  James Hopes to Adam Voges, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1) 
3.5  James Hopes to Michael Carberry, Driven beautifully into the gap. A sprawling effort in the deep keeps it down to three.  (3)

5.5  James Hopes to Michael Carberry, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)

BRISBANE HEAT'S INNINGS
Code:
0.1  David Willey to Lendl Simmons, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single  (1) 
0.2  David Willey to Joe Burns, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
0.3  David Willey to Lendl Simmons, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more!  (6) 
0.4  David Willey to Lendl Simmons, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3) 
0.5  David Willey to Joe Burns, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0) 
0.6  David Willey to Joe Burns, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3)

1.1  Nathan Coulter-Nile to Joe Burns, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one  (1) 
1.2  Nathan Coulter-Nile to Lendl Simmons, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run.  (0) 
1.3  Nathan Coulter-Nile to Lendl Simmons, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
1.4  Nathan Coulter-Nile to Joe Burns, Inside edge, and past the stumps. The batsmen take a quick single  (1) 
1.5  Nathan Coulter-Nile to Lendl Simmons, He's skied it, too high, there's a fielder coming under it, takes it comfortably!

2.2  David Willey to Chris Lynn, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4) 
2.3  David Willey to Chris Lynn, Tucked on the off side, two more to the total.  (2) 
2.4  David Willey to Chris Lynn, The crowd roar in delight at that dismissal, it's clear to see that the fielder is a fan favourite!

0.2  Ben Laughlin to Ben Rohrer, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
0.3  Ben Laughlin to Usman Khawaja, Delicate little late cut, well placed. Quick single taken.  (1)

Code:
0.1  Gurinder Sandhu to Craig Simmons, Chipped, and lands safe. Two runs in the mean while.  (2) 
0.2  Gurinder Sandhu to Craig Simmons, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
0.3  Gurinder Sandhu to Craig Simmons, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
0.4  Gurinder Sandhu to Craig Simmons, And the batsman unveils the sweep shot, and it's done beautifully too! Four more!  (4) 
0.5  Gurinder Sandhu to Craig Simmons, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run.  (0)

1.1  Jacques Kallis to Tim Ludeman, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6)

Tim Ludeman     7 (3b)
Jacques Kallis    1-0-11-1


2.1  Gurinder Sandhu to Tim Ludeman, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two.  (2) 
2.2  Gurinder Sandhu to Tim Ludeman, Slog-sweep time! He swings, and misses! Clean bowled. Aw shucks.

Tim Ludeman                      b Gurinder Sandhu
Runs : 9       Balls : 5         S/R : 180

  (0) 
2.3  Gurinder Sandhu to Travis Head, Lofted drive, falls into the gap. The ball gets stuck in the outfield meaning the batsmen get only two.  (2) 
2.4  Gurinder Sandhu to Travis Head, BANG! The batsman absolutely nailed that shot! Luckily for the bowler there is a man in the deep, so only two runs.  (2) 
2.5  Gurinder Sandhu to Travis Head, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
2.6  Gurinder Sandhu to Mahela Jayawardena, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1)

3.2  Jacques Kallis to Mahela Jayawardena, No shot offered.  (0) 
3.3  Jacques Kallis to Mahela Jayawardena, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3) 
3.4  Jacques Kallis to Travis Head, Biffed down to long-off, easy single.  (1) 
3.5  Jacques Kallis to Mahela Jayawardena, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0)

4.6  Gurinder Sandhu to Mahela Jayawardena, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6)
