00:00Oh, he's leaded that.
00:07Thank you, can we have the ball back?
00:11It's all about playing yourself in this T20.
00:15First ball to Finch, on the back foot, slammed over deep square.
00:21Just waiting there, not that short was it?
00:30That'll be four.
00:37Well, you've just seen a couple of reasons why
00:42Finn has struggled through this summer.
00:45He's falling over a touch in delivery and bowling.
00:48That one too straight.
00:51Just angling in.
00:53And it's just a gift.
00:56Helped away on the leg side, no protection down there.
01:11In the slot.
01:14One bounce, it's absolutely perfect for a batsman who wants to come forward.
01:20Well, yeah, the weight back.
01:25Just leaning back to get the ball in the air.
01:27We've seen his weight back in the first over where he pulled it for six over square leg.
01:33Plenty of bottom hand there.
01:35Merv Hughes having a chip.
01:37Did you spot him?
01:38I did, stalking up there, back row.
01:41Bag of chips.
01:49You can see what's in his mind, Finch.
01:51Yes, in my half, in the slot, he's going over the top.
01:55He's a big burly lad.
02:00Not a lot of subtlety in Aaron Finch's approach.
02:08Go on, Merv.
02:10It's awesome.
02:21Slow ball.
02:23And he picked it early.
02:24Drop kicked it towards the boundary.
02:29Impressive stuff, this from Finch.
02:30He's 25 now from ten balls, four fours and a six.
02:34He's giving Steven Finn a tough time.
02:37Slower ball, Boulders a cutter.
02:40Finn spotted it, waited for it and did the necessary.
02:57Gone a long way again.
03:00Look out in the crowd.
03:0349 for one.
03:12Sensational shot.
03:14T20 at his very best.
03:1758 for one.
03:19What a shot.
03:28Chopped back with a point.
03:30A long chase and the ball wins.
03:37Really fast outfield.
03:39Michael Lum, the man trying to get to it.
03:41Once of this parish, of course.
03:46Muscular shot from Finch.
03:48He's on to 48.
03:54And a slower ball and he's just bopped it straight back over his
03:57head for 650 for Finch.
03:5926 deliveries.
04:01Slower balls disappeared.
04:04That's a fantastic shot.
04:06What a wonderful innings.
04:08Brute power.
04:10This is extraordinary hitting.
04:21Room goes over, extra cover.
04:24This is unbelievable hitting.
04:29Shot boy.
04:32That's the six.
04:33Dragged from outside off stump.
04:35Middled.
04:37And then steps inside it and thrashes it over extra cover.
04:41Fantastic batting.
04:48Goes to mid-on and it will go all the way.
04:51Six more.
04:56I'm not sure if it was Root or it was Finch that went, ah.
05:00I wonder for a moment whether Aaron Finch had felt he'd not quite
05:03got hold of it, but he did.
05:05100 comes up, 102 for one after nine overs and two balls.
05:09Muscular.
05:14That's gone a long way up.
05:16It's gone a long, long way up and a long, long way full stop.
05:20Six more.
05:26Seventh six of the innings.
05:29Six of them belong to Aaron Finch and this went miles.
05:33You ask what field he wants.
05:34He wants a bigger field right now.
05:36To be honest, that's probably the conversation skip.
05:38Thanks for bowling me at this lad.
05:40That's gone a long way up.
05:43Boundaries are in about 10 yards.
05:45I don't think it's made much difference for Finch.
05:49I haven't just dribbled over the edge.
05:53Strong lad, isn't he?
05:59That tells you wherever you bowl, it disappears.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Okay.
06:05Six more.
06:06First ball went for one.
06:07The next three have gone for 18.
06:12That's a crowd killer because that went flat and hard.
06:17Fastest hundreds, Rich.
06:18We're moving on to that.
06:19Fastest hundred, Levy.
06:2045 deliveries.
06:23Finch, 83 and 34.
06:25It's on.
06:26It's on.
06:48Smashed offside.
06:50Moves to 87.
06:51Unlucky number for Aussies.
06:53Not for Finch.
06:54118 for one.
06:55One delivery left in the over.
06:59This is beautiful, beautiful batting.
07:02Steps to the side.
07:04Full.
07:06Places it.
07:07Fantastic stuff.
07:11Fingers crossed.
07:12Legs crossed.
07:13If you're an Aussie, 87.
07:14Stand on one leg.
07:15Whatever you want.
07:16He's on 87.
07:17Get off that.
07:18Yeah, good lad.
07:19Nicked fine.
07:21Joe Root, one over.
07:2327 runs into the 90s.
07:26Aaron Finch, 122 for one.
07:34Oh, yes, please.
07:36It will go all the way for six just for a moment.
07:40He might have picked out fine leg.
07:42What an innings.
07:43What an innings.
07:44An innings of the highest quality from Aaron Finch.
07:46147 deliveries.
07:54Yeah, thoroughly deserves that ovation from this crowd.
07:58A little bit worried when I saw the top edge.
08:00It was going straight down the fine leg and straight over his head.
08:04But, gee, he's played well.
08:05Nine fours.
08:06Eight sixes.
08:08And here he goes again.
08:15That's gone a long way up.
08:16And it's gone a long way into the crowd.
08:19Six more to Finch.
08:26Well, just as we thought, now it's time to have a bit more fun.
08:29He got his way through the 90s just about in singles.
08:33He brought it up with a six.
08:34But he just felt once he got to that 100 again,
08:37he got to open those big shoulders up.
08:39And that's in the slot.
08:43Take that even further.
08:54Well, Luke Wright saying, well, it wasn't that bad a ball,
08:56but it was a slow ball.
08:57It was dragged down.
08:58What he's saying is he's good mates with Stuart Broad.
09:00And he's saying, why did you put me on?
09:02That's what he's saying, pal.
09:04Dropped in the crowd.
09:06But I suspect there'll be another chance coming your way,
09:08sir, in a moment.
09:16And that'll be it.
09:18Nonchalantly just whacked over extra cover.
09:20I think that's gone all the way to another six to Finch.
09:23127 then.
09:24High score in T20 internationals.
09:29How good is that shot?
09:32Stuart Broad banging it in.
09:34He backs away, over cover.
09:37How strong is this guy?
09:39What a way, yeah, to go to the high score.
09:48Now then, now then, now then.
09:50Not quite.
09:52Really good effort in the deep from Owen Morgan,
09:54who's always just going away from him.
10:02There's that game plan again.
10:03Backing away.
10:04And then when the bowler spears it in at left side,
10:06he just goes with the angle.
10:08Because he knows he can't be out LBW.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh, ho, ho.
10:18Not any interest at all from Owen Morgan.
10:20It's even further.
10:2113-6 is now for Aaron Finch.
10:25Equals the record, though.
10:26Records keep tumbling.
10:29Five sixes in an international T20 innings.
10:3213.
10:36Well, this is frightening.
10:37With Richard Levy.
10:41This is brilliant.
10:45Ball goes again.
10:47Someone in the crowd catch it.
10:50Oh, that one's gone down as well.
10:52But it brings up the 150.
10:53151 off just 60 balls for Aaron Finch.
10:57Quite extraordinary.
11:02Yeah, take a bow, Aaron Finch.
11:03That is one of the better knocks you'll ever see,
11:06if not the best in T20.
11:08It's the highest score,
11:09and the quality has just been quite breathtaking.
11:15And gone.
11:16Dragged on.
11:18But what an innings from Aaron Finch.
11:21Thanks very much for the entertainment.
11:23Will you see a better T20 innings?
11:25156 off just 63 balls.
11:36Well, he's getting a standing ovation
11:37from the majority of the crowd here.
11:39And why wouldn't he?
11:41Because we've just seen something very, very special.
11:45Breakthrough innings, not only for Aaron Finch,
11:48but maybe the game.
11:49Because he could have ended up getting 170, 180.
11:54Raises back to the crowd.
11:56There's his skipper and the coach applauding him.
12:00What a night that he'll never forget.
12:03Aaron Finch.
12:10Into the dugout he goes.
12:11156.
