BBL | Twitter reacts as Cooper Connolly channels his inner archer after Billings' meek dismissal

‌After enduring a three-match losing streak, Perth skipper Ashton Turner won the toss and chose to bowl first at the Sydney Showground. The Sydney Thunder started explosively, with openers Sam Konstas and David Warner blazing their way to 36/0 in just three overs. However, the momentum shifted dramatically when Warner and Matthew Gilkes fell in the fourth over, leaving the Thunder's innings on shaky ground. Perth's bowlers was led by spinners Ashton Agar and Cooper Connolly, who capitalised on the favourable pitch conditions. Sam Billings and Konstas struggled to find a rhythm as the Thunder’s scoring rate plummeted thereafter. Billings seemed out of sorts with poor shot selection and his sluggish knock of eight runs off 18 balls finally ended in the ninth over.
