BBL 2016-17: Top 5 moments from the Melbourne Renegades-Sydney Sixers clash

#3 Finch: A man for all needs

After sending Sunil Narine to open the batting and bowling in the death overs, Finch donned the wicket-keeping gloves during today’s match

Aaron Finch is gradually making his name in this season’s BBL through his strange tactics as a captain that included sending Sunil Narine to open the batting and bowling the final over of a match. However, in today’s match, Finch made another strange decision which sort of paid off.

Due to some rainfall during the twilight of the Melbourne Renegades’ batting, the ground was a little wet and the Renegades suffered a huge blow from the rain as their keeper Peter Nevill was hit on the head by a skidding throw during the tenth over of the Sixers’ run-chase. He was advised to leave the ground to undergo tests for concussion.

At this point, Finch donned the wicket-keeping gloves and in the very next delivery, Michael Lumb who was looking dangerous perished and it resulted in two new batsmen at the crease. Even though the Renegades lost the match, that dismissal of Lumb sure made the Sixers sweat during the run-chase.
