Captain Peter Siddle has described Matt Short's all-round contributions as "perfect" for the rampaging Adelaide Strikers, who are two wins away from a shock berth in the BBL decider.
Short, who opens the batting and bowling, crafted the finest innings of his career to mastermind the Strikers' 22-run triumph over the Hobart Hurricanes in Friday night's eliminator, crunching 89 off 48 deliveries, including six sixes.
