What a performance from Steve Smith. That was special. Walks off to (another) standing ovation: 121 off 64 balls. Raises his bat around the ground. And Sixers have a huge 220 on the board. It's their highest total in the BBL (although we are actually awaiting clarity over the exact total, think because of that no-ball wicket). Either way, will be an immense challenge for Perth Scorchers who probably need to win to keep alive realistic finals hopes. I'm going for a lie down. Alex will be with you shortly.

MorganG: "Sums up scorchers season honestly "

Vidyut: "Connolly dropped that catch to return the favour.... Smith got him in the test squad"

Akash : "I love that each year Smith will play a handful of games for the Sixers and one of those knocks will be among the most memorable of the season."
