Winning the toss and electing to field first, disciplined bowling curbed the Sixers to 163 runs in 20 overs. It was Cameron Bencroft’s unbridled 70 that laid the foundation of a competitive score in the first innings. In response, the Sixers got brisk partnerships quite a few times in the lead up to the score of 101/3 in 14 overs before a catching disaster stole the attention.
The first ball of the 15th over saw Tanveer Sangha bowl a half-tracker googly into Moises Henriques. The batter rocked back for a pull and got a top-edge with the ball falling right in front of the crease. Both Sangha and wicketkeeper Sam Billings tried to reach towards the falling white rock but gave up at the last moment, leaving to a drop. The ball was easily catchable for either the bowler or the batter but a strange miscommunication lead to Warner at short cover get furious at both. The veteran questioned their decision making by hand gestures, propmpting the Twitterverse abuzz.

Dumb fcukers.. ¡ Call your catch stupid fellas.
He shouldn't
Imagine bowling Chris Green in the 20th

David Warner shouldn't captain the under 12s
Or commentate the under 12s
Hindsight
In hindsight I reckon Warner might regret using his comedy bowler for the last over

Brilliant
It’s brilliant watching the Big Bash and any cricket down under unlike in England, it’s less PG and it’s actually funny.

As much as sky cricket’s coverage is in depth and great at some things.
There is nothing better then Howie, Vaughny and Waugh on commentary proper humour.
