- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 short on off, rushed him a bit and he pulls straight to mid on 0/18.5 same bowl, same shot but doesn't get all of it and Quiney takes an easy catch 86/34.5 you would not believe that, short on off and he rocks back for the pull shot, big bottom edge down into his back legs and onto the stumps 63/215.5 full outside off, backs away and reaches for the drive, popping it straight up to point. Easy catch but huge wicket 159/613.3 tries to drive again but gets a thick outside edge through to the keeper 138/415.3 short on leg, top edges the pull shot high straight up in the air and the keeper comes around to take the catch 155/516.2 now this was absolutely needless as he wants to reverse seep and only gets a top edge to midwicket 160/716.4 lofts it to long-on, Hussey takes a very good catch. White is next to him as Stars are getting the wickets quite easily now 162/817.2 as soft a dismissal, you can ever see. He comes forward and chips it to cover where White takes an easy catch 166/9Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL184/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.20)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (PA Jaques, 0.2 ov), 2-63 (TR Birt, 4.5 ov), 3-86 (RJG Lockyear, 8.5 ov), 4-138 (TIF Triffitt, 13.3 ov), 5-155 (MJ Johnston, 15.3 ov), 6-159 (OA Shah, 15.5 ov), 7-160 (Naved-ul-Hasan, 16.2 ov), 8-162 (MG Hogan, 16.4 ov), 9-166 (XJ Doherty, 17.2 ov)
