The field he set for Abbott in the last over, played into Heads strengths and the small square boundaries.
Wide Off Stump Yorkers, Would have needed to hit 3 of the deliveries for 4 to win.
He changed the field to a leg side field and moved the 3rd man out. Made it Pretty obvious where Abbott was going to bowl.
Plus he tried to reverse sweep his first ball and got out.

Everyone loves some bloody good HEAD

Breathtaking batting by Travis Head.

Agreed. Abbott needed to produce a couple of yorkers like the one Dwarshius bowled in his last over. Not much a batsman can do with those.

He wasn't allowed to bowl them once he moved 3rd man up. Bowler was bowling to his field.
Maddison, one of the most gifted cricketers, not one of the smartest.

Simply sensational. How can you not love Head!

Unreal atmosphere, head what a star!

He'd tried bowling full outside off stump the over before. First ball was way outside off stump and went back over his head for four, second one was full outside off again Trav somehow managed to drag it over cow for six and the next one he sliced down to 3rd man for four.

They seemed to panic after that. Should have kept it the same but started bowling short, attacking the stumps, change ups.

What a fantastic game to end 2015.

Good northern suburbs boy gets the job done!!!!

I'm still a bit miffed missing this match last night I went and saw the new Star Wars movie but on the train into the city there were a few families around all decked out in their Strikers gear and hoped we might get over the line and that we did in spectacular fashion.

Well done Travis Head what a steal for Delhi at $62k!

We want the thunder to win. Let them take top and hope to grab second.

Watto staking his claim for a national T20 call up

Bit of talk about recalling Shaun Tait to the national team for the T20 World Cup after his performance against Sydney Thunder last night.

Wish we had have kept him at the Strikers.

Rebecca Wilson is complaining about Freddie Flintoff distracting people from the cricket. Jesus she's hopeless.
