Not a bad way to get off the mark in your first ever hit as a number 11 batsmen!
Full and outside off, Sanjaya clears his front leg and crunches it through the covers. Beautiful!

Wicket
The old back of the hand slower ball sucks Siriwardana in! He does not pick this at all. He eyes up the leg side with a slap but only manages to sky it in the air. Faulker completes the caught and bowled delivery. Game over

Perfectly struck straight drive from Kulasekara, in fact it ends up so straight that it hits the stumps at the other end, but still has enough energy on the ball to run away past mid-on for four

Cummins was very expensive in BBL|06, yeh Tye wasn’t as economical as previous years, yet there is not doubting he was better than Cummins in that department.

Very strange that they didn’t pick him. Especially after bowling well in the first game. Probably Langer wanting to play his Perth boys. Joke
