What a comeback for Lynn and co, a win they so needed. Now they have two wins in five games, with a bunch of matches coming their way over the next few days. For Hurricanes, their innings never got going, proved by D'Arcy Short's strike-rate of just over 100. Six Hurricanes batsmen reached their twenties, but no one else could get going. That was their downfall eventually. As for the Heat batsmen, Lynn was excellent but so was Bryant who got his first BBL 09 fifty tonight. See you tomorrow for more BBL action, till then, it's goodbye!
Faulkner's on strike, but wait for it, he's got a runner. Are they even allowed? Who knows!
Kamran Ramzan: "I was mind boggled to why Clive is repeatedly in the team despite his terrible bowling stats, this is why!"

Vanessa Green: "Clive should be promoted up the order"
M Shahab: "So if the batsmen had NOT run across why the strike was changed for the freehit ball?" -- They had run across. They had crossed each other - thus the strike to the other batsman. But they did not complete the run, and thus no single

Nick: "@alex... I still think that the best catch off a no ball was Warne against New Zealand on 99 "
Kev: "Dear Comm: Best catch of this bbl has already been taken by Jordan. Period!"
Mert: "Weren't the Hurricanes robbed a run? That no ball was called and the batsmen changed strike, shouldn't they get a run then???" -- Good question, but it's a 'dead ball' as soon as Renshaw took the catch. By then, the players had NOT run across for the single. They were still midway - despite crossing ends - through the run

Alex: "That's the 2nd best No-ball catch I've ever seen, behind Faf Du Plessis of Steve Smith in an ODI a few years back."
Nick: "Does Benny Laughlin ever get an IPL gig?" -- Yes, represented Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiant in the past, but perhaps, the teams have now figured him out
Abhijato: "There's a golden rule when it comes to spinners - give them a long run before judging him. Zahir Khan has been above par with his numbers so far. There's no harm in letting him be in the side as long as he's delivering well enough. Not everyone has a Rashid in their side anyways, I'm afraid!"
Rovin: "Talking of overseas spinners, I love how Qais Ahmed plays with a smile on his face "
