9:40pm That will be all from us from another breathtaking game in the BBL. We will be back at it again tomorrow, but until then, from Vairavan and myself (Shashwat), it is goodbye!
Max Bryant, Player of the Match: If we have wickets in hand, it is a nice place to bat. Xavier took pressure off me. We said before the game that we do not want to lose here. We have won three out of three. Hopefully we can go five out of five (at the Gabba). We need to win two home games, one away and hopefully we can make it (to the finals). Bowlers were awesome - their best display so far. Nice to do it (finish off the job) here at your home. We keep fighting, shows the Queensland spirit. Hopefully we can get a couple of wins under the belt and storm into the finals.
9:34pm Phew. What a game. What a game. The Heat looked buried at one stage, especially when they lost three wickets in quick succession through the middle. But then, Bryant had a slight slice of luck, and he made the Stars pay. Bartlett did his bit too, rocking off the dugout and into the thick of things, playing a cameo that put the Stars under all sorts of pressure.
And the Stars, unbeaten before today, cracked. Their death-bowling plans went awry, and they could not force the batters to attack just one side. They will also be frustrated about being unable to really stave off the pressure once the Heat amped it up, but whichever way you look at it, the Stars will leave the Gabba feeling they have let a win get away.
