Changes the way the Scorchers set the field for the final ball, perhaps changes Healy's avenue to a boundary and therefore the result of the game.
I've seen it a few times too and because the ball was hit with such power and never got more than four or five metres off the ground, it hit the top (or very near the top) of the rope with such force that the rope dug into the ground (explains the puff of dust) before bouncing up and catapulting the ball into the air.
Hodge knows the T20 game inside out and offers good insight. Nephew played against him once and after the game he spent half an hour him talking to him about his batting, when he didn't need to. Would rather listen to him than anyone else doing these games.
That maybe the case, but his ability to predict what is going to happen next ball is nothing short of absolute sh!t. Gardner had just hit consecutive sixes and he predicted that Gardner would finish it in style, instead she was bowled. My comment was tough in cheek.
True. Anyway, who cares, Healy's back in form, the Sixers are looking good and are now 3pts clear on top of the table and favourites to host the final.
She tried to finish it in style. Hodge was right, should have bowled King. Might have still lost, but they wouldn't have hit two sixes off her in the first two balls.
should nickname her "Ms Pacman" if she keeps doing that
That's a knock!
Wonder if she had done something earlier in the match and the way she planted her foot after her delivery saw it finally give way, because it was such an innocuous incident that you wouldn't expect an ACL in injury just from that
