The Sydney Thunder have sputtered their way to the lowest total in BBL history, just 15 runs, to hand the Adelaide Strikers the easiest of wins. 7NEWS
Henry Thornton and Wes Agar ran riot as the Thunder limped to 6-9 in the power play.
Thornton, the 26-year-old paceman who had played only eight BBL matches before this summer, finished the night with statistically the most efficient spell in BBL history. His economy was 1.06 from just under three overs.Adelaide’s two marquee bowlers Peter Siddle and Rashid Khan did not even need to bowl.
Specialist quick Brendan Doggett top-scored for the Thunder with only four runs, scored from the sole boundary of an innings that lasted less than 40 minutes. The Strikers once again had success by starting their innings with spinner Matt Short, who dispatched of Matthew Gilkes with a length ball that the opener hit to point. It was Gilkes’ second duck from as many balls this tournament but the Strikers were only getting started.
Short took an early contender for catch of the tournament by jumping in the slips for a one-handed grab to dismiss Rilee Rossouw, whose three runs made him the highest scorer of the out-and-out batters.Your cookie settings are preventing this third party content from displaying.
