Cognizant Major League Cricket Game 6 _ Seattle Orcas vs. LA Knight Riders
Transcript
00:00Oh it's a thick inside edge. All tight was he on. Was that foot touching? I think we'll have to check this before we head off for a quick over break.
00:23Don't bowl too short to this guy. Here's a maxi.
00:30Jason Royce so good on the short ball. You want to get that short ball that Nundraberg's.
00:37Oh you're kidding. There it is. It almost happened in the previous over. He bowls away when he laughs about it. Because it wasn't the greatest delivery going round. But pace on.
00:52You can see the weights ever so slightly back there. Clearing the front leg. Looking to go over cover. With the line and the length. Just hanging the bat out there. Deep edge down to third.
01:03Looking to go big as Jason Royce. Break the shackles a little bit.
01:11To just bowl in this Lexus power play. And so he sends him for an NTT DATA massive six.
01:24Make some room. That's really good. He's been in form has Unmook Chand. He looked really good in their first game.
01:37Oh he's hit that so hard. Beautiful timing. Nicely done.
01:45Wonderful flow of the bat here for Unmook Chand.
01:55He is such a clean ball striker. Jason Royce that will be another maximum.
02:15Harmeet again top edge. Let's see straight to the fielder. Shot third man and then gone. He got the cat Zaman Khan the fielder.
02:24And they've got the breakthrough they wanted. Seattle.
02:30Unmook Chand spent time at the crease but it wasn't affluent innings.
02:36And you can see after the break a bit more intent from these two.
02:41Goes on just in the hands of Zaman Khan. And Harmeet Singh he's pumped.
02:48Very delicate. So much dexterity on offer. Will be a first boundary for Shakim.
02:58Very straight. That was the key. Good placement from Jason Royce.
03:06Wow. That is humongous. What a way to get to a 60 second T2050 Jason Royce.
03:17That's a huge hit. 305 feet. Probably the biggest of this tournament.
03:23Harmeet Singh. Oh got him. Oh wow. That was so wide down the leg side.
03:30Red ball. Pink ball. White ball. Oh dear. That's a rank average delivery.
03:41After all that. That is magnificent. What a shot.
03:53Shot. Struck out the middle of the bat. It's a reverse sweep.
03:59And he picks out his gap exactly right.
04:04Got that. What a shot that is. Reaches it and then turns away almost in disgust.
04:13Thick edge. Thick edge. And gone. Watch out folks. Step back. Good guy.
04:22Clever bowling.
04:24Outside that off stump. Outside the arc. And he's tried it.
04:31A short. Muller just manages to find the boundary.
04:38Oh that's incredible. Trying to get it in the block hole.
04:43Little bit of impetus. Little bit of energy into that one.
04:46The momentum slowly but surely moving towards the end of this index. Towards the LA Knight Riders. That's a good hit.
04:51It's a sky up. It's gone very very high. Little bit of a teaser but well taken by Shabam in the end.
04:58Stopping ever so slightly. Under Russell. Getting the top edge.
05:02That's a valuable catch. That's a vital wicket at this stage of the game.
05:07Slaps it. That's really good from Muller. Knowing that the middle was up.
05:12Even though that was a much shorter delivery.
05:15He's done so well to hit that ball straight.
05:20Not getting it right is Nandre Berger. With the field that he's got set.
05:24But David Muller is getting it right.
05:27A beautiful base from Muller. The head is still. The length was there. Yes. In the slot.
05:32And he's got it.
05:34And he's got it.
05:36And he's got it.
05:38And he's got it.
05:39A beautiful base from Muller. The head is still. The length was there. Yes. In the slot.
05:44Execution of the shot. Perfect.
05:49Short of ball. Muller says thank you very much. That's one of my favourite areas.
05:58Yep. There'll be more runs for David Muller and the LA Knight Riders. What a finish.
06:10Oh. Pace on. If you're slightly off with your length, that's what'll happen every night of the week.
06:19If they can.
06:21Short arm whip. Oh. Tasty.
06:25Oh. Zingers everywhere.
06:28And middle pole uprooted.
06:32Almost 90 miles per hour from expecting the short ball.
06:36Look at his front foot.
06:38Nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Ball nipped back. Missed it completely.
06:45Bottom hand. Into play.
06:47And he's disappeared. Doesn't happen that often.
06:50Backwards square leg.
06:53And De Kock. Just carving.
06:56Doesn't bother running. Doesn't have to.
06:58It goes for four. So it's an expensive first over.
07:01Yeah. Their music. Food.
07:03Alright.
07:07As you see a maximum down the ground. That's something to play the drums for. Come on guys. It's a maximum. Play it.
07:31Nicely played. Punched into that offside.
07:34It's a teaser to the boundary.
07:37Oh. Does he get it?
07:41Oh. Short.
07:44A little swat really.
07:48Short. That's lovely.
07:51That is fantastic as a shot.
07:53Playing all around the ground. But any test batter would be proud of this.
07:57Full face of the bat.
07:59Just punching it down the ground.
08:01Another boundary for Rickleton. Playing beautifully tonight.
08:05Oh. Golf.
08:08Going straight down the ground.
08:10And long enough from Ryan Rickleton.
08:13And it was just what was required at this stage.
08:16Because that run rate just popped up a touch.
08:20Massive maximum.
08:22To the four.
08:24From the double R.
08:26Ryan Rickleton.
08:28You ripper.
08:31Leg side now.
08:33It's quite a long boundary out that side.
08:34And I think that's just gone into the cushions.
08:38They need confirmation from the third umpire.
08:53Look at the innovation.
08:55That is amazing.
08:57From Quentin Ducotte.
08:59That is an excellent cricket shot.
09:02That's what we've come to see from players in the T20 game.
09:06But that is one of the better ones.
09:10Goes again.
09:12This is supreme batting from Quentin Ducotte.
09:15Just the control.
09:17Brilliant. 100 partnership up.
09:22He's toying with the field. Quentin Ducotte.
09:25He's been a passenger for the majority of this partnership.
09:28Now he takes over.
09:29Really is that perfect venue for cricket.
09:34Cluttered.
09:36All the way for six as well.
09:38Ryan Rickleton.
09:39Waiting ever so slightly.
09:40Just pausing his swing.
09:42Stepping into it and bludgeoning it through the Mudwicket region.
09:46Mention the run rate.
09:47He's looking to finish this.
09:49Sooner rather than later.
09:51Another boundary for the South African.
09:53Oh, misfield.
09:55And that is exactly what you don't want if you're the Knight Riders.
09:58It has gone from bad to worse for them tonight.
10:09Shaqeeb doesn't get to it.
10:11He can't stop it from getting into the boundary.
10:17That's it.
10:19That's swatted away.
10:30It runs through.
10:32Nearly run out.
10:34It has not run out.
10:36It gets to the hundred.
10:38The three figures so precious to any batter in the game.
10:42Congratulations then on his maiden T2000.
10:48To Ryan Rickleton.
10:51Massive sixes.
10:52This was the moment.
10:54Went straight to the fielder.
10:56Sunil Narayan.
10:57Direct hit.
10:58Probably would have been close.
10:59But not at this moment.
11:00He's got his first T2000.
11:03A big deal.
11:04A massive deal.
11:07Now looking to finish it off.
11:09That's a big blow.
11:11From Quinnen de Kock.
11:13And he gets to a half century.
11:16Rickleton was playing good.
11:18He thought okay.
11:19I'll rotate the strike for you.
11:20But now it's my turn.
11:24Oh what a bowled.
11:25That's what bowled.
11:28Doesn't matter though.
11:29Because it's nudged away.
11:31Fittingly.
11:34By Ryan Rickleton.
11:36A win.
11:38For the Seattle Orcas.
11:42They'll be very happy to kick off their season in the way.
11:48We'll be right back.
