BBL 06: Twitter Reacts As Ben McDermott’s 114 Helps Hobart Hurricanes Clinch Nail-Biter Against Melbourne Renegades
Jan 12, 2017 at 6:10 PM
Hobart Hurricanes pulled off a near impossible run-chase at Docklands to keep their hopes in the BBL 06 alive. Needing an improbable 223 to win the game, Hurricanes were powered by a devastating knock from Ben McDermott as the youngster slammed a thunderous century to get his team past the line.
McDermott’s 52-ball knock of 114 included as many as eight fours and nine massive sixes. The game went down to the wire though as Thisara Perera bowled a dismal final over which enabled Stuart Broad to win the game on the very last ball.
Emotions were high among fans on Twitter and below are some of the tweets.
