Sydney Thunder entered the cricket record books in the most unwanted fashion on Friday after being bowled out for just 15 in their Big Bash League game against Adelaide Strikers — the lowest T20 score in history. Chasing a gettable 140, Thunder’s innings lasted just one ball shy of six overs, with five of their players failing to trouble the scorer. Pacer Brendan Doggett top-scored with four. For Strikers, Henry Thornton was the pick of the Strikers bowlers taking five wickets for only three runs. Thunder’s collapse sparked a meme fest on Twitter.
