Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat, 29th Match

BRH
All
19.4
6
Mennie to Chris Lynn, SIX, that's as straight as one can get, length delivery outside off, Mennie missed his yorker by an inch, lets Lynn get underneath it and he pumps it back over the umpire's head, right over the sight-screen
19.2
4
Mennie to Ross, FOUR, that's clumsy from the fielder, dived way too early and can't pull the ball back in - on a good length and well outside off, Ross sliced his drive and got it over cover-point, two fielders gave chase, but can't pull it back in
19
W
Gurney to Renshaw, out Bowled!! The perfect yorker from Gurney, very full and just outside off, Renshaw simply can't get underneath it, looks to heave it away, gets an inside edge and the middle-stump is rattled. The zing bails light up and Renshaw's misery seems unabated. Renshaw b Gurney 3(5)
18.1
6
Gurney to Chris Lynn, SIX, that's a gift and Lynn accepts it with glee, low full-toss outside off, Lynn bends down low and paddles it over square leg, short boundaries on that side and this was always sailing into the stands
18
F
Christian to Chris Lynn, 1 run, the Renegades are slowly pulling things back, another fine over - this time by Christian, yorker length delivery outside off and Lynn can only squeeze it wide of mid-on for a single
17.1
W
Christian to Cutting, out Caught by Tom Cooper!! That's an excellent catch from Cooper, had to be sure about the rope behind him, watches the ball all along and takes a reverse-cupped grab. Coming to the ball, it was a back of a length delivery outside off, Cutting prodded across and clubbed it to long-on, a bit more on the shot and it would have sailed over the fielder's head. Cutting c Tom Cooper b Christian 1(2)
16.5
W
Gurney to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Nabi!! Just reward for Gurney, he's got the dangerous McCullum. Deception at its best, this was very full and around off, McCullum was looking to chip it over the on-side, caught the leading edge and popped high and straight to Nabi at long-off, end of a fine knock from one-half of the Bash Brothers. Brendon McCullum c Nabi b Gurney 69(43) [4s-4 6s-5]
15.4
6
Christian to Brendon McCullum, SIX, that's massive, Christian shakes his head, but this wasn't smart thinking, length ball outside off, McCullum bent down low and swiped it high and behind square on the on-side for a maximum
14.3
6
Boyce to Chris Lynn, SIX, massive, this is excellent cricket from Lynn, comes down the track, gets close to the ball and lifts it high and back over the bowler's head. A spectator fancied a catch as he ran across the sight-screen, lost his footing at the last moment and slipped
14.2
4
Boyce to Chris Lynn, FOUR, smashed, tossed up slower and at the stumps, Lynn backs away, makes room and then bludgeons it past cover for a boundary. Turning into a carnage now
14
6
Nabi to Chris Lynn, SIX, another mistime and another six, flighted outside off as Lynn backed away, he never got hold of the shot as he looked to go over cover - was targetting the shorter boundary though and the ball sails over the head of the man in the deep
13.3
6
Nabi to Brendon McCullum, SIX, a one-handed six over cover, low full-toss outside off, McCullum had backed away, has to reach out and then carves it over cover for a maximum
12.4
M
Boyce to Brendon McCullum, SIX, three fifties in a row for Brendon McCullum! It was bowled slower by Boyce, McCullum moved leg-side and smoked the slog sweep over deep mid-wicket
10.3
4
Nabi to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, tad slower and McCullum goes through with his premeditated sweep shot. The deep mid-wicket fielder put in a desperate dive to his right after sprinting across, but to no avail
10.1
4
Nabi to Chris Lynn, FOUR, flat ball from over the wicket, the length is slightly on the shorter side and Lynn takes full toll of it. Stands tall and biffs it wide of the bowler. Long-off can't get there
9.3
6
Boyce to Brendon McCullum, SIX, in the air and that's sailed over long-on's fence. It was a flighted delivery and McCullum went down on a knee to slog-sweep. Didn't get it anywhere close to the middle, perhaps the bat turned at the point of impact. But he's got enough power behind it to send it over the ropes
8.1
4
Christian to Chris Lynn, FOUR, a freebie from Christian. Too wide outside off and Lynn flashes his bat hard at it. Flayed away through backward point. Raced away
6.4
W
Christian to Bryant, out Caught by Mackenzie Harvey!! The carnage ends! He's gone for a well-made 24-ball 44. The cutter, into the wicket and Christian got good lift on it. Bryant moves leg-side and goes for the pull, despite the ball getting a touch big on him. That results in a mistimed shot and Harvey at deep mid-wicket catches it above his head. He might have misjudged that as he was running in, but did well in the end to hold onto it. Bryant c Mackenzie Harvey b Christian 44(24) [4s-8]

4
Gurney to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, 14 off the over! A hit-me delivery, full on the pads and all McCullum had to do was put bat on ball. The former Kiwi captain gets more than that on his flick and places it fine of short fine leg. 65 after 5 overs!
4.5
4
Gurney to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, slightly mistimed, but McCullum has made decent contact. Slower delivery way outside off, enough width for McCullum to free his arms. The right-hander crouches low and slaps it over a jumping mid-off fielder
4.4
4
Gurney to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, good use of the feet. McCullum dances down, gets close to the pitch of the ball and drills it straight down the ground. Missed the stumps at the non-striker's end by a whisker
4
4
Wildermuth to Bryant, FOUR, 50 up in the fourth over. This is Bryant's eighth boundary. Fullish ball on middle and leg, Bryant slightly moves leg-side and flogs it over vacant wide mid-on. There was long-on positioned, but he was a mere spectator
3.5
4
Wildermuth to Bryant, FOUR, dropped! A tough one, though. Tom Cooper was way inside the 30-yard circle and hence could only get a fingertips on it with a leap. Bryant danced down the track, took it on the full and smashed it over covers
3.1
4
Wildermuth to Bryant, FOUR, it's raining boundaries! Bryant targets the off-side. Moves leg-side, opens up the off-side and carves this fullish ball over point
3
6
Mennie to Brendon McCullum, SIX, now, Brendon McCullum wants to join the party. 23 runs off the over! A length delivery from over the wicket, McCullum gives the charge by waltzing down the track and swings his bat to hoist it over cow corner
2.4
4
Mennie to Bryant, FOUR, make that four in a row! Mennie is not learning. Bryant is backing away and Mennie follows him with a back of a length delivery, easily pulled away in front of square leg
2.3
4
Mennie to Bryant, FOUR, hat-trick of boundaries! Bryant is toying with Mennie. Was a shortish ball from the pacer, Bryant moved leg-side and cleared his front leg to pummel it through mid-wicket
2.2
4
Mennie to Bryant, FOUR, four more! Too straight, down leg and Bryant pulls it wide of short fine leg. Raced away
2.1
4
Mennie to Bryant, FOUR, top shot! A wristy hit. Fullish ball on the pads and that's easy pickings for Bryant. Stays still in the crease and flicks it nonchalantly over backward square leg. One bounce and into the fence
1.4
4
Gurney to Bryant, FOUR, first boundary of the match! A short of length delivery from Gurney, Bryant advanced down the track and in the process moved leg-side to open up the off-side. Made his own room and carved it through cover. Once the gap was found, there was none to stop that
