Commentary

Over 19

01:57 PM
Tye to Ferguson, leg byes, 1 run, off the pad and into the on-side, no appeal for LBW as it was missing leg stump and that's it, the Thunder have bagged two crucial points
01:56 PM
Tye to Ferguson, SIX, in the airrrr, oh he's hit this just over the man jumping high at long-off. How did he manage to time that so well? For starters, this is a full slower ball wide outside off stump, so that meant Ferguson had to reach out, he did so, was off balance in the process, yet powered the ball over the fence. Fist pump from Ferguson
SIX

Coulter-Nile to Chris Green, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Green guides it to backward point
01:53 PM
Coulter-Nile to Ferguson, 1 run, low full toss on the leg stump, Ferguson tries to swing hard and gets an inside edge that rolls to fine leg
01:52 PM
Coulter-Nile to Ferguson, no run, short of length delivery just outside off stump, Ferguson backs away and misses the ball completely
01:51 PM
Coulter-Nile to Ferguson, 2 runs, slapped away wide of mid-on and he scampers back for the second run
01:50 PM
Coulter-Nile to Ferguson, SIX, upper cut and it's all the way over third man. What a hundred! Just the second hundred of BBL-8 and both have come from the Thunder, with Watto being the first to get to the milestone. He takes the helmet off and raises the bat, punches the air in delight and gets a hug from his partner. Just can't fathom the fact that Coulter-Nile bowled a short ball outside off stump with backward point and third man inside, any cricket coach would be livid if you are doing that. But what a brilliant innings this has been, no ugly hits, pure class

01:48 PM
Behrendorff to Ferguson, no run, rare dot ball, short delivery from Behrendorff, Ferguson goes for the pull shot, misses it completely, he's just a hit away from a fantastic hundred by the way
01:47 PM
Behrendorff to Ferguson, 2 runs, pulled away to deep mid-wicket and he's back for the second run as well
01:46 PM
Behrendorff to Ferguson, FOUR, it's a hat-trick of fours and the Thunder are favourites again. Behrendorff took pace off on this slower ball on the shorter side, Ferguson cuts well, beats backward point, beats deep cover as well
FOUR
01:46 PM
Behrendorff to Ferguson, FOUR, this is seriously poor bowling, Kelly and Qadir built up the pressure, everything has been released in two balls. This is a low full toss, bludgeoned down the ground and long-on can't get there in time
FOUR
01:45 PM
Behrendorff to Ferguson, FOUR, swung away in the air, the man at deep mid-wicket runs to his left and stretches full but can't stop the ball, the short slower ball, Ferguson pulls and nails it in the gap
FOUR

Key Moments

02:01 PM
So the Thunder jump to fourth place, while the Scorchers are languishing at the bottom of the table with just 6 points and only four more games to go. The BBL caravan takes a break for a couple of days, but they will be seen in action again at the MCG on Sunday when the Stars take on the Heat. Until then, goodbye!
01:57 PM
Callum Ferguson take a bow! Watto departed early in the big chase, but Matthew Gilkes, the debutant, played sensibly alongside the experienced Ferguson. The duo added 120 runs for the second wicket and it looked as if the Thunder would cruise to victory. But the Scorchers came back well with Qadir and Kelly bowled very wellt to pull things back. The set Ferguson sealed the deal by smashing Behrendorff for 15 runs in the 18th over, before nothching up a fine hundred with an upper cut in the penultimate over.
01:54 PM
Seven needed off the final over
01:49 PM
Two overs, 16 runs
