Umpires tried their best to get back out there, but it’s not to be, they’ve run out of time.
So both teams get a point, Thunder still in the finals hunt, just.
And the Strikers will go into the finals.

So for every four minutes that passes now, we lose an over. Thunder will be desperate to get back out. A draw sends the Strikers into the Semi FInals.
Big cover coming on now.

And the covers are out, not a good sign, we need just four more overs for this to be a game.

Well the covers began to come out, and the umpires have sent them back. They want this game to finish. There’s been a light drizzle all match but everyone is happy to play on.
Kallis and Roy now in the middle, they’ll need to go at 12 an over to win this one for the Thunder.
Kane Richardson to open the bowling.

So let’s run through what’s happened at the Adelaide Oval.
A rain delay meant the game was reduced to ten overs each, and early it looked like the Thunder were on top when the Strikers were 1/16 then 2/25.
But Simmons (21 off 15) and ten Doeschate (23 off 12) halted back some momentum, before Ross went ballistic with 30 runs off 11, including four sixes.
Tremain was the only multiple wicket taker for the Thunder, taking 2 for 32 from his two overs. Sandhu was the most economical with 1 for 7 off two overs.
So this will be a tough chase, but with their season on the line, the Thunder will have to give it everything.

And the Strikers finish on 5/119 off their ten overs. A very good score on this wicket.

Good debate guys.
Johnno, I like your tiers mate, but agree with Tennis Fan that Hewitt should be in your tier three at least.
My main point was that although Hewitt might not be one of the game’s greats, he should go down as one of Australia’s best sportsmen.
Good call on Agassi too Reesy. I reckon we sometimes forget too that Hewitt and Federer are the same age and came through the juniors together. So when the Fed was still finding his game, Hewitt was number one in the world. I just reckon the South Aussie lad doesn’t always get the credit he deserves, especially for keeping the sport alive in Australia when there was no one else at the top level.
Simply put, Lleyton is one of the greats of tennis
