he does and it's sealed with a six with five overs to spare! Dances down, takes it on the full and finds the straight long-on boundary with a powerful lofted shot

— Melbourne Stars (@StarsBBL) January 6, 201610.22pm The Stars move up the table with a thrashing over the Hurricanes, two crucial points for them. The win was set up by the bowlers actually, the spinners initially, Hastings and Boland's yorkers and the double-blow from Zampa. And not to forget the run-outs. The Hurricanes were hardly ever in this game and will lose Bailey too, as the Indian team has already arrived for the ODIs. Scott Boland is in the squad too, for the international series, and he looks pretty confident: "Yeah, I believe I'm bowling well, pretty confident with what I'm doing. If I get a game, that all be great. We've come from strength to strength to win the third or fourth match in a row now. There were a couple of nervous moments when KP was run out but there are steady hands in the line up."
Here's Maxwell, the Man of the Match: "My last game for the Stars this season so nice to go on a high and keep the momentum going for the finals. Hopefully I'll bowl a little better than that, I didn't bowl a legal one till the third delivery, I know Boof will be all over me for that. Hopefully it will be better from now. I only play the reverse-sweep to manipulate the field but it wasn't required today. It's going to challenge our depth (losing Faulkner, himself and Boland for the ODIs) like it has every season and hopefully the depth will shine through for us.
That, cricket lovers, is all for today's BBL action. There's more cricket happening - some in Cape Town, and some in Sharjah, so tune in for that and for Thunder v Scorchers tomorrow in Sydney. Hopefully the rain will subside there to allow some cricket. Until then, ciao!

Wright takes a blow around the chest off the inside edge. He looked to pull the short ball, didn't connect again and actually got it right into his abdomen! Looks fine now after rubbing it a bit
