Fellas, I've enjoyed myself thoroughly here, and thank you so much for everyone who followed the game with Peter and me, and especially those who engaged with us in the comments. Take care of yourselves, and see you again shortly!

Conway to McAndrew, 2 runs, spooned away to cow corner, where the fielder dived forward to try and give Conway a hat-trick. He doesn't quite do it, but the Strikers win, and eliminate Thunder in the process. That Khawaja dismissal takes on more significance, but credit to Adelaide in what has been a BBL classic
It's 9 off one, and if this is a legal delivery, the Thunder will rumble away into the distance, not to be heard of for one more season

Conway to Cutting, OUT, Cutting holes out to long-on, and Strikers can reach out and touch it It was in the slot to smash away for six, but for once, Cutting can't the power, putting Strikers' fate into their own hands
BCJ Cutting c Cockbain b Conway 16 (10b 3x4 0x6) SR: 160.00
Dezz: "Super over please with Fawad to bowl to Khawaja!" 2 fours will do it

Conway to Ross, OUT, he's skied that, and despite Carey doing his best to dissuade him, Thornton takes a splendid catch. They didn't see each other and clatter into one another, but how cool was Thornton? Catches it, tosses it into the air, and signals out. They're both fine
AI Ross c Thornton b Conway 56 (39b 4x4 1x6) SR: 143.58

Conway to Ross, no run, swing and a miss. Conway went really slow - just 105 kph, and Ross missed it completely
19.2

Conway to Ross, FOUR, he comes down the track, but only gets a top-edge. That works, though, teasing Fawad Ahmed at short third man. he hasn't caught that one, mind you; it's run away over his head for four

Conway to Cutting, 1 leg bye, short, slower bouncer. Through the pull shot way too early as it cuffs him on the helmet. They run through for one
14 off 6. Conway to bowl. Here we go
