Hurricanes vs Stars, 6th Match at Hobart, Dec 26 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

it's all over. Full toss outside off, he backs away and slaps that over cover. How easily have they chased this down? Beauty of a wicket, and the crowds have got their monies worth

bang a length ball into middle and leg, Faulkner backs away to play but is hit high on the thigh pad and they scamper a run. Broad ran to his right and fired a throw at the bowler's end, hit direct too but the batsman was well in

stunner at midwicket. Hussey picked the bones out of that short ball, but Sangakkara, throwing himself to his right like a goal keeper, pulled off a one-handed catch. That was hit with some power. Wow, Sangakkara shows no sign of pain. That surely must sting for a while though.

can't squeeze that past the bowler. Yorker length outside off, digs it out and Broad fires a throw in frustration at the striker's end

bowls another leg stump half-volley, which Maxwell has flicked between deep square and deep midwicket. This is sensational stuff. Just a roll of the wrists and the ball raced away

short, and he's crunched that one bounce into the deep midwicket boundary. Ricky Ponting would have been proud of that. Picked the length early, transferred the weight back, and boom!

turns a yorker length delivery outside off towards the man coming in from long on

so, so clever. Too full again, this time Maxwell goes over the infield. No risk if you can muscle the ball like Maxwell does. Top shot

no chance for mid-off. That was simply smashed with immense power. Too full, Maxwell drilled it and knew straightaway that it was four

gets the yorker to tail back in to strike Hussey on his right foot as he looks to swing across the line, they'll take a leg bye

bangs a short ball on middle, he backs away and bunts it to the off side for a quick single

punched off the back foot to sweeper cover

backs away to flick, but gets an inside edge that flies between his legs and into the fine leg boundary. Broad beat him in this mini-contest, but still saw the ball race into the boundary. Anguish, I tell you

pulled but the bottom hand came off the grip, which meant he didn't generate the kind of power he would have liked. Turns out to be a simple catch for deep midwicket. It was a slower delivery as well, which meant Quiney had to force the pace, but he got this off the toe end too. Has the wicket come a little too late, though? Super knock from Quiney

excellent yorker, right into the blockhole which the batsman couldn't get underneath as he tried to deflect it behind square

steered into the deep point region

gets forward and works this with the angle towards deep midwicket

slower delivery on leg stump, he gets a thick inside edge that rolls to the off side and they take a single

another biggie, this time over deep midwicket. Full swing of the arms as he deposits that legstump half-volley into the stands

run out opportunity missed. Quiney was on the floor as he tried to negotiate that full delivery. Then he hared halfway down the pitch in anticipation of a single, only to be sent back. The bowler went across and hurled a throw at the striker's end even as Quiney dived, but missed

he's clobbered that into the third tier at the Ricky Ponting Stand. Too full on the pads and Quiney simply unleashes a monster hit. Those wrist, forearms. everything into play as the ball sails over

backs away to squeeze it behind point but is deceived by the slow off cutter. Beaten
