Batting: Titans
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.4 | SIX | Mike Beer to Rudolph, SIX, he was lucky last time and has made use of it immediately, a bit more flight and Rudolph slog-sweeps it over deep mid wicket, hit it flat and over the ropes | 6/0 |
| 0.5 | FOUR | Mike Beer to Rudolph, FOUR, a much more conventional shot and he gets another boundary. Flighted up once again, Rudolph comes on the frontfoot and drives it through extra cover | 10/0 |
| 3.1 | FOUR | Rimmington to Davids, FOUR, superb shot! Walks down the track and gives himself some room, stays firm and crashes it between point and cover | 22/0 |
| 3.4 | FOUR | Rimmington to Rudolph, FOUR, edged and four this time! More luck for Rudolph, throws his bat at one angled across and gets a thick edge which flies to third man | 28/0 |
| 4.1 | SIX | Mennie to Davids, SIX, Davids continues to target the first delivery of an over. Is that a plan? Once again down the track and he lofts it inside out over sweeper cover, hit it high and into the crowd | 36/0 |
| 5.1 | SIX | Mitchell Marsh to Davids, SIX, once again the first delivery goes for a boundary! Davids has smashed this one out of the park. Right in the slot from Mitchell Marsh, Davids puts his frontfoot forward and effortlessly lofts it over wide long on, superb timing - just an extension of the arm! | 45/0 |
| 5.2 | FOUR | Mitchell Marsh to Davids, FOUR, beautiful shot! Davids is looking in stunning form. Full and just outside off, Davids comes on the frontfoot and drives it away through extra cover, there was a sweeper but he had no chance | 49/0 |
| 5.3 | OTHER | Mitchell Marsh to Davids, 1 run, pushes it to mid off for a quick single, that brings up the 50 for the Titans | 50/0 |
| 7.3 | SIX | Edmondson to Davids, SIX, Davids has a huge smile on his face! One of the flattest sixes you'll see. Edmondson drags it short, Davids goes back quickly and pulls it from his face, hits it flat and clears deep square leg, terrific shot | 60/0 |
| 7.4 | FOUR | Edmondson to Davids, FOUR, can't bowl there with third man inside the ring. Lots of width outside off, Davids throws his bat at it and gets a thick edge which flies over short third man | 64/0 |
| 7.5 | SIX | Edmondson to Davids, SIX, more fun! Davids continues to entertain. Edmondson has no clue where to bowl - he bowls this full and straight, Davids walks across a touch and whips it off his pads, once again it goes flat and hits the ropes at deep mid wicket on the full | 70/0 |
| 8.5 | FOUR | Brad Hogg to Rudolph, FOUR, good improvisation! Bad ball though. A full toss on the off, Rudolph plays the reverse paddle to perfection, hits it wide of short third man for a boundary | 78/0 |
| 9.4 | FOUR | Mennie to Rudolph, FOUR, right in the slot. Rudolph puts his frontfoot forward and heaves across to deep mid wicket, easy | 85/0 |
| 9.5 | FOUR | Mennie to Rudolph, FOUR, superb batting. Expects the full delivery and walks away, takes it on the full and drives it through extra cover for a boundary | 89/0 |
| 11.1 | SIX | Edmondson to Rudolph, SIX, what a start to the over! He expects the short one to perfection, backs away and slaps it with a flat bat over deep point, yet another flat six through that area! | 97/0 |
| 11.5 | OTHER | Edmondson to Davids, 1 run, that's 50 for Davids. The crowd give him a nice ovation. Driven to mid off and it has been a fab innings from the local man | 100/0 |
| 12 | FOUR | Edmondson to Rudolph, FOUR, that's a cracker of a shot to get to his fifty. Backs away and cuts it from middle stump, beating point and the third man running across. Both openers have got to a fifty and the Perth side are getting scorched by the Titans | 105/0 |
| 12.1 | FOUR | Mike Beer to Davids, FOUR, the fun continues. Now Davids makes room and goes inside out, beating a sprawling dive from long off running to his left, who can only parry the ball into the ropes | 109/0 |
| 12.2 | OUT | Mike Beer to Davids, out Bowled!! Finally the opening stand has been broken. Mike Beer shows his delight, by yelling, 'come on'. Davids tried to go big over the leg side, went for the slog sweep and missed. The ball hit the outside of leg. Davids b Mike Beer 54(38) [4s-4 6s-4] | 109/1 |
| 14.5 | SIX | Mike Beer to Martin Jaarsveld, SIX, that is an exceptional shot. Martin Jaarsveld had already made room outside leg, Mike Beer decided to follow him, darted it in, but Jaarsveld drove it beautifully over the cover fence. The ball sailing into the crowd | 122/1 |
| 15.3 | SIX | Brad Hogg to Rudolph, SIX, caught in the crowd! A lofted off drive - that too from a left-hander - all grace and supremely timed to clear long off. Great sight! | 130/1 |
| 16 | FOUR | Brad Hogg to Martin Jaarsveld, FOUR, the last over has spoiled Brad Hogg's figures. The last ball goes for a boundary which makes it 14 off Hogg's last over. Dragged down short and wide outside off, cut away in the air and beats sweeper racing across | 137/1 |
| 16.1 | FOUR | Mitchell Marsh to Rudolph, FOUR, short boundaries on the leg side and especially near the deep backward square fence. Heaved away from middle stump and beats the diving fielder on the fence. | 141/1 |
| 16.2 | FOUR | Mitchell Marsh to Rudolph, FOUR, Rudolph is batting like a dream. Previous ball - on side, now off side, inside out as well. Made room and carved it over cover | 145/1 |
| 16.5 | FOUR | Mitchell Marsh to Rudolph, FOUR, sliced away! Looked like it was heading straight down Brad Hogg's throat at sweeper cover, but it evaded him easily and spun away to the ropes | 151/1 |
| 18.3 | OTHER | Mennie to Martin Jaarsveld, 1 run, the partnership between the two is 50 now. Bunted to mid off with no timing | 159/1 |
| 18.5 | OUT | Mennie to Martin Jaarsveld, out Caught by North at short fine!! The slower ball bouncer does the trick, Martin Jaarsveld pulling and finding short fine. Martin Jaarsveld c North b Mennie 19(18) [4s-1 6s-1] | 160/2 |
| 19.3 | OUT | Rimmington to Behardien, out Caught by Ronchi!! Rimmington has been outstanding at the death. This time he gets Behardien who can only edge his attempted square drive behind the wicket. Behardien c Ronchi b Rimmington 0(2) | 162/3 |
| 19.4 | OUT | Rimmington to Wiese, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Rimmington is now on a hat-trick. Full, fast and aimed at middle stump with a hint of reverse. Wiese swung and missed - end of story. Wiese b Rimmington 0(1) | 162/4 |
Batting: Perth Scorchers
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 | FOUR | Alfonso Thomas to Shaun Marsh, FOUR, first boundary for Perth, short, but closer to the off stump, Shaun Marsh slashes hard and edges it over the slip cordon to third man | 8/0 |
| 3.2 | OUT | Cornelius to Shaun Marsh, out Caught by Martin Jaarsveld!! Full and wide outside off, Shaun Marsh went for the expansive drive and edged it head high to the man at the lone slip. Marsh's batting travails continue. Shaun Marsh c Martin Jaarsveld b Cornelius 7(9) [4s-1] | 16/1 |
| 3.3 | OUT | Cornelius to North, out Bowled!! CJ is on a roll! North expected that to go away like the previous deliveries were doing, but this one comes back in sharply, goes off the glove and even as North is watching, it trickles onto the stumps. North b Cornelius 0(1) | 17/2 |
| 4.4 | SIX | Mbhalati to Gibbs, SIX, Gibbs' eye is still good. He picks this from outside off and pulls off the front-foot, the ball sails over deep mid wicket for a huge six | 27/2 |
| 5.2 | DROPPED | Cornelius to Katich, 2 runs, straight through Cornelius' hands. So you have to call that a dropped chance. Katich hit that very hard and before the bowler could react, it burst through his hands and went for a couple | 29/2 |
| 7.4 | OUT | Alfonso Thomas to Gibbs, out Caught by Kuhn!! That is a big wicket. Gibbs made room and failed in his attempt to heave it away, top-edging it in the process. Kuhn settled under the high ball and caught it well in the end for it was swirling. Gibbs c Kuhn b Alfonso Thomas 19(19) [6s-1] | 40/3 |
| 8.1 | DROPPED | Mbhalati to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, Dropped by van Jaarsveld at first slip! Good bowling by Mbhalati, he produced the edge from a prodding Mitchell Marsh, but it was going wide of the lone slip and though Jaarsveld got both hands to it, he couldn't cup it | 43/3 |
| 8.3 | FOUR | Mbhalati to Katich, FOUR, what timing! Katich just pushed that after giving himself room, the ball sped across the turf, beating point and third man easily. Mbhalati can't believe it and grimaces in disappointment | 47/3 |
| 10.2 | DROPPED | R van der Merwe to Katich, 1 run, Dropped at cover! Hit hard and straight to the man, who fluffs a regulation take | 56/3 |
| 11.2 | OUT | E Links to Katich, out Caught&Bowled!! E Links has now caught a tough one, when he dropped a simple one last over. Uppishly driven to his right, it was dying on him, but he went with both hands while diving and managed to come up with the catch. The person most happy with the catch? van Der Merwe who hugs him in sheer delight. Katich c and b E Links 23(28) [4s-1] | 60/4 |
| 13.4 | FOUR | Wiese to Ronchi, FOUR, Ronchi picks the slower delivery and swipes it hard over mid wicket. A much needed boundary | 76/4 |
| 13.5 | OUT | Wiese to Ronchi, out Bowled!! Wiese strikes. Once again the slower delivery, this time on off stump, Ronchi backed away and missed the cut. Ronchi b Wiese 9(9) [4s-1] | 76/5 |
| 14.5 | OUT | R van der Merwe to Rimmington, out Caught by Rudolph!! Rank bad ball - a short one and pulled straight to the fielder at deep square leg Rimmington c Rudolph b R van der Merwe 3(4) | 81/6 |
| 15.2 | SIX | E Links to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, Massive! 116 metres! Onto the roof and out of sight. Mitchell Marsh dancing down the wicket and smashing it ferociously. This fella can strike them big. | 88/6 |
| 15.3 | FOUR | E Links to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, too short and Mitchell Marsh cuts that extremely hard and beats cover who is very straight. 10 off 2 balls. Are we onto something here? | 92/6 |
| 15.5 | FOUR | E Links to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, that is an educated edge and despite a diving sprawling effort from Wiese, he can't prevent the ball from going to the boundary | 96/6 |
| 16 | FOUR | E Links to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, shortish on leg stump, pulled hard and into the gap at deep square leg, bisecting the two men on the fence. It all depends on Mitchell Marsh now if his side are to have any chance | 100/6 |
| 16.1 | OUT | Cornelius to Mennie, out Caught by R van der Merwe!! Mennie was looking for one, but finds point with a firmly timed punch. CJ keeps taking wickets. Mennie c R van der Merwe b Cornelius 0(1) | 100/7 |
| 17.4 | FOUR | Alfonso Thomas to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, full and outside off, Mitchell Marsh pierces the off-side cordon with a nicely timed drive that goes between cover and cover-point | 110/7 |
| 19.2 | FOUR | Alfonso Thomas to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, the slower short ball and Mitchell Marsh waits for it, before pulling it into the gap at deep backward square | 120/7 |
| 19.3 | OTHER | Alfonso Thomas to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, 50 for Mitchell Marsh and it has been a fine innings, albeit in a losing cause. | 121/7 |
