Anyway, instead of grumpily complaining about surnames, I'll leave the innings here, and Peter will take you through the first ten for Thunder

David: "This is a game in Australia, involving mainly Australian players of Anglo-Saxon background. I wasn't talking internationally." Well, here's an Anglo-Saxon counterpoint from Brad: "I'm sick of the same thing as there are 4 millers in my team and we ain't related"

David: "You have chosen a surname more common than Smith!!!!" But here's Mihir with a counterpoint: "Yes hardly ever happens. Suryakumar Yadav, Jayant Yadav, Umesh Yadav."

Sandhu to Renshaw, 2 runs, slapped down the ground and they race back for another couple. Strikers have set Thunder 185 to avoid being knocked out

Sandhu to Kelly, OUT, this one's smeared straight to Chris Green at long-on, and he doesn't mess this one up. Bowler went wide and Kelly couldn't get the power he needed at the end of his range

T Kelly c Green b Sandhu 16 (13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 123.07

Sandhu to Renshaw, 3 runs, carved over extra cover where Green made a bit of a mess of it to allow the batters to come back for three, despite a slip from one of the batters

David: "Hardly an inane question. A most natural one to ask, in fact. How often do two players in the same team have the same surname WHO ARE'NT RELATED?" Azhar Ali, Abid Ali, Hasan Ali, Nauman Ali - it hardly ever happens

Sandhu to Kelly, 2 runs, muscled to midwicket, and Sangha has another chase, this time to his left. The bloke's everywhere right now, and he has to be

Sandhu to Renshaw, 3 runs, edged this one over backward point, giving Jason Sangha a heck of a chase. Does well to keep it within the rope while the Strikers fetch themselves three

Sams to Kelly, FOUR, carves it through backward point and short third - magnificent placement. Just a little dink as he reached out towards the wider delivery, and pulls this off brilliantly

Sams to Renshaw, 1 leg bye, full, rapped into the pads but it's going down leg

Sams to Kelly, 1 run, ooh, is that a run-out? Had to scamper to the non-striker's end but replays show he's just about managed to get there

Sams to Renshaw, 1 run, this one's straighter, but he gets an inside edge onto the pad and comes through for a single

1w
Sams to Renshaw, 1 wide, goes full and wide

For the last time, the Sanghas are not brothers, not cousins. They're just two blokes named Sangha so let's please stop asking that inane question over and over again!

Sams to Kelly, 1 run, cross bat shot down to long-on and the pair exchange ends

Sams to Kelly, 2 runs, slower ball from around the wicket, slapped away to deep point for a couple

Mahesh: "Unable to watch the game live. Was it Sangha or Cutting who took that catch? Comms says J Sangha, scorecard says Cutting..." It was Cutting. Sangha was bowling!

Parrot: "Life-changing few weeks for Cockbain - PSL contract, you'd think the Strikers will keep him next season, and probably some other decent T20 contracts too - wonderful to see!"
