Scorchers vs Renegades scorecard and videos<\/a><\/p>\nPeake PUNISHES last ball after lifeline | 01:05<\/p>\n
Fox Cricket commentators were left stunned by the decision, which followed recent precedent, as the crowd furiously booed for the rest of Melbourne\u2019s four-wicket win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, not out. Let off,\u201d a shocked Brendon Julian said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis could be the moment in this game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOli Peake, I\u2019m sorry no, no, no.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing how he had full control over the ball in his hand \u2013 but because he was off balance as he was trying to gather himself and the ball was put on the ground that it\u2019s not out,\u201d Shane Watson said.<\/p>\n
Brad Haddin added: \u201cIt\u2019s interesting because Turner has had a lot of shoulder injuries. Normally when your ball goes over your head like that, you\u2019re vulnerable when you fall back and his natural reaction is to save his shoulder rather than roll and try and get underneath the ball so you can understand what Turner did there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crowd doesn\u2019t like it but\u2026 that\u2019s the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment proved the turning point in the contest as Peake later hit the match-winning six off the final ball to send the men in red into wild celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what you dream of doing. Had a bit of luck,\u201d he said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not something for me to adjudicate but we saw something similar with Starcy in the Ashes. That\u2019s the rules of the game at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Renegades kept their BBL finals hopes alive despite an awful mix up that saw two players stranded at the same end.<\/p>\n
At 1-54, the Gades were cruising in their chase of just 127 until Muhammad Rizwan and Tim Seifert suffered a brain fade.<\/p>\n
Rizwan took off while Seifert turned his back – and both players ended up stranded.<\/p>\n
Only a late lunge with the bat saved Rizwan from having to depart, as it was Seifert determined as the man run out.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh no no! C\u2019mon!\u201d Brendon Julian said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust when they get themselves going\u2026 Riz wanted it! He called for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeifert just basically turned his back.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh what a feeling there \u2013 definitely not a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was awful running,\u201d Shane Watson added.<\/p>\n
\u201cA bit of a brain fart from both batsmen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Scorchers were in early trouble at 3-49 inside the eighth over on Wednesday night as they looked to jump to the top of the table.<\/p>\n
And that trouble rolled on as Perth continued to lose regular wickets.<\/p>\n
Skipper Ashton Turner (12 off 8) went large down the ground off Hassan Khan, but like Finn Allen before him, it was six and out for the Scorchers star.<\/p>\n
Laurie Evans then fell to Will Sutherland in the power surge – only the second wicket the Scorchers have lost in that period this BBL.<\/p>\n
By the 14th over, the home side were struggling at 5-85.<\/p>\n
The Gades continued to put the foot down, running out Nick Hobson and Jhye Richardson as Perth finished all out for 126 – with four balls remaining – Gurinder Sandy snaring 4-28 including three late wickets in four balls.<\/p>\n
In reply, the Gades started strongly through Josh Brown (22 off 14) before they came crashing down losing 3-9 off 24 balls.<\/p>\n
Late hitting from young Oli Peake (42* off 30) ensured it was Melbourne who got home – keeping their finals hopes alive.<\/p>\n
SAM STARS ON GADES DEBUT<\/p>\n
Sam Elliott certainly left an impression on debut for the Melbourne Renegades.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old, who last played BBL cricket four years ago for the Melbourne Stars, stepped up in Perth \u2013 including conceding just four runs in the 15th over.<\/p>\n
Starting with two dot balls before a misfield ensured a single was taken third ball, ex-Aussie stars Brad Haddin and Shane Watson were impressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s bowling to your field,\u201d Shane Watson praised.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell you what? The Vics certainly know how to produce someone, a bowler who can come in and smack the top of the stumps. You see (Scott) Boland and what a great person to be able to learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elliott ended up conceding just four from the over.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat just shows how simple T20 bowling has to be. You don\u2019t have to do too many funky things,\u201d Watson added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a high quality over from Sam Elliott,\u201d Haddin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s done a wonderful job to bowl to his field.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe robbed the batsmen of hitting to the areas they wanted to\u2026 Very clever over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elliott\u2019s opportunity only came as an injury replacement for Will Salzmann who was ruled out with a hamstring injury suffered on the eve of BBL15.<\/p>\n
DORFF\u2019S RETURN A SUCCESS<\/p>\n
Four-time Scorchers champion Jason Behrendorff returned to Perth with a bang by snaring the wicket of former teammate Cooper Connolly.<\/p>\n
Connolly, the rising star of WA cricket, let one through the gate – leaving Behrendorff with a little grin.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust scoreboard pressure there from Cooper Connolly,\u201d Brad Haddin said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cTried to break the shackles. Jason Behrendorff knew that. He kept the stumps in play.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust gave his little younger teammate a little glare on the way past.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSee ya young fella,\u201d Brendon Julian added.<\/p>\n
Behrendorff finished with 1-11 from his three-over spell. Remarkably, Behrendorff was used for those three overs to start \u2013 and then didn\u2019t return to the action.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first time Behrendorff has played in Perth since walking out on the club last year and signing for the Melbourne Renegades.<\/p>\n
