Okay, the 35-ball innings is done. May video-game cricket reign supreme. Hopefully, Thunder can put this behind them. But it's Adelaide Strikers who will grab headlines, front pages, subreddits, and maybe just the world on the whole with that win. None of us know what to do as time for goodbye approaches. I'll collect my TFC (thanks for coming) award for my three-ball stint in the second innings. Alex, my co-commentator, will bring you more content here on the site. Chandan Duorah and Ranjith P, our scorers call it a day early. Thanks for tuning in. Um, I don't know... I guess we'll see you tomorrow.

Bhupen : "Damn Dogget. Spoiled the otherwise boundary-less scorecard." Think they could've hit three sixes and gotten ten wickets for 18 and the beauty in the symmetry of the scorecard (if that's a thing) wouldn't be lost.

Vishall: "Always told my son Marvel heroes are not real! But then I see THORnton striking the thunders!"

Dinesh Jas: "They should declare a public holiday at Turkey Today" Yep, their lowest score of 21 has now dropped down a spot in the all-time lowest innings totals in T20s

Dr Tamoor: "Matt Short, the most expensive bowler for Strikers tonight with economy of a whopping 5.0, actually robbed Wes Agar off a 5fer!" Short got only one over. Maybe Agar robbed Short of four. That probably doesn't make sense but what does?!

Line up the tweets, the stats pieces, and if you're part of Sydney Thunder, a wishlist stacking up to the moon. That made a mockery of disbelief as a concept. The brilliance of Farooqi's yorkers, and Sams' death bowling would be long forgotten despite them restricting Thunder's last five overs to 27 for 4 because Thunder went for 15 runs in the powerplay. Just ten wickets as a nonchalant add-on would do.

Peter Siddle on Channel Seven: "It's quite amazing that I'm actually off the pitch speaking to you. Because that was quick. I did not picture what just happened. Rashid's played a lot of T20 cricket and that's the first time he's not bowled a ball in a T20 match [Rashid hasn't bowled only twice before in 358 games and they were both washouts]. For the two of us not to bowl a ball, it's still quite amazing. The boys bowled superbly. Exactly what I said earlier about coming in, being disciplined, bashing a length, they did that and they reaped the rewards.

Henry Thornton:"I honestly cannot believe what just happened. I think everyone here probably doesn't know what is going on either. It was amazing. We thought they bowled really, really well considering what the wicket was doing. And we just thought if we hung in there long enough we'd create chances. That's unbelievable. I've never had that happen in my life to be honest. It's amazing. (On bowling plan) We just thought if we bowled top of the stumps, and we were really clear on what we wanted to execute, we'd be in the game. We got a lot of nick offs. Harry took five catches and Shorty, that was one of the best catches I've ever seen at first slip. We're really happy. I'm really happy for Wes. He bowled really well tonight, super disciplined. Great performance. I feel like I need to retire now. I don't think I'm getting better than that (laughs)."

10:51pm: "What just happened", said Chris Lynn right after the match. That's the title of the match. It deserves 18 biographies and a couple of autobiographies. Winning the powerplay has a new definition as Strikers struck, and struck, and struck some more to win by... 124 runs while defending 139. Thornton hit a good length and bowled in the channel, fifth stump max. Got the nicks as A, the catching was brilliant. Thunder's batters did play a few lose shots but the results do seem to be beyond explanations.

Josh: "I thought you said this game was going to be a late finish ??????" Chris Lynn on the field is surprised. Can't blame anyone for not being Nostradamus.

Ekanth will come in otherwise he might not get a shift!

Rahul: "1/5 from Short's first over looks poor bowling so far in this situation!!!"
