Twenty20 match | 2011/12 season
Played at Melbourne Cricket Ground
17 December 2011 - day/night (20-over match)


Melbourne Stars innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RJ Quiney	c Edwards b Bollinger	7	9	9	0	1	77.77
1.6 he spotted the slower ball when he hit the six, this time he doesn't. Bollinger pitches it on the leg stump. Quiney is looking to go leg side again and is early into the shot as he gets a leading edge to mid-off where Edwards takes the catch 10/1
MS Wade†	c Coyte b Doran	14	29	14	1	0	100.00
6.2 flighted ball outside the off stump. Wade goes for the sweep shot again. This time he doesn't cover the line of the ball and gets a top edge that is easily taken by Coyte at short fine-leg 39/2
GJ Bailey	b Bollinger	23	36	25	3	0	92.00
10.4 fuller ball on the middle stump. Bailey moves across in an attempt to flick it. He misses the line altogether as he is bowled 80/3
DJ Hussey	run out (Warner/Gayle)	52	31	27	3	3	192.59
13.5 Gayle to Voges, Hussey is run-out! Fuller ball on the off stump. Voges pushes it to long-on. Hussey calls him for a non-existent couple. He puts his head down and runs to the bowler's end. Turns out that it is not enough as the throw is right on top of the stumps. Gayle colledts the ball and whips the bails off 107/5
CL White*	c Warner b Coyte	1	4	3	0	0	33.33
11.3 short ball on the off stump. White looks to pull it and is early into his shot. He gets a top edge that is snaffled up by Warner running back from short third-man. He is greeted by boos though as it is White's home ground. Melbourne Stars in a spot of bother now 83/4
AC Voges	c Abbott b Coyte	10	16	13	0	0	76.92
16.2 fuller ball on the off stump. Voges looks to slog and gets the edge that results in an easy catch to Abbott at long-on 120/6
LJ Wright	not out	27	22	20	3	1	135.00

JP Faulkner	c Warner b Abbott	7	10	6	0	0	116.66
18.6 more boos as Warner as he takes the catch at long-on. It was fuller on the off stump and Faulkner lofted it straight into the hands of the Thunder captain. He takes the catch and stirs up the crowd by gesturing at them 143/7
CJ McKay	not out	3	4	3	0	0	100.00

CH Gayle	b Faulkner	4	5	4	1	0	100.00
0.6 and the roar gets higher as Faulkner deceives Gayle with a slower ball. He comes down the track and looks to loft it away. He is beaten by the slower ball. He looks to defend it but the ball is past the bottom edge. He looks back to see the stumps shattered and the fielders are ecstatic 6/1
UT Khawaja	c †Wade b McKay	3	11	7	0	0	42.85
3.3 good length ball outside the off stump and Khwaja is coming down the track as the ball was bowled. He chases the ball and gets a faint outside edge back to the keeper. More joy for the crowd at the G. They are raising up some noise in there 25/2
DLR Smith	c Voges b Wright	21	24	24	3	0	87.50
9.3 short ball outside the off stump. Smith comes down the track and slices the short ball straight into the waiting hands of Adam Voges at sweeper cover. Warner doing the running now. Memories of Hobart, anyone 69/3

11.3 short ball on the off stump. Philipson looks to pull it and gets a top edge to Hussey at mid-on. Easy pickings for Hussey these 86/4
