Stars vs Sixers, 32nd Match at Melbourne, Jan 21 2017 - Match Result

short and wide, the field is in, and he slashes this uppishly past slip and the Sixers are through to the semi-final, along with the Stars

oh! Bit of an anti-climax, this. Low full toss on off stump, he punches it back, gets the bottom of the bat and Boland sticks out one hand at this. He gets it, lets it bob up to erase the momentum and takes it - one-handed again - on the second attempt

back of a length outside off, mistimed cut to the right of point

full on off stump, walks across and gets under it, but can't get the middle as he drives this uppishly past the non-striker

short and outside off, jumps up and places this faux upper-cut with the outside edge past the keeper. It's been called a no-ball as well - second bouncer. Free hit.

good length slower ball, down the leg side

full outside off, gets down on one knee and crunches it to the left of deep coverwho fumbles

slower bouncer, follows him down the leg side, he goes for the hook but it's well wide and they sneak through a single as well

typical Botha. Back of a length in the corridor, comes in at him slightly, he jumps, contorts inwards, makes room and chops it down to third man

yorker angled across the batsman, wide outside off and he can't get bat to this

full and angled wide outside off, just about sneaks past the wide marker

goes for the bouncer again but it's a tad full this time, and sits up nicely outside off for him. He goes back and hooks it over square leg

slower bouncer, angles across him from middle stump and he has to pull out of his attempted hook shot

changes it up. Good bouncer, flies past his hook shot

low full toss on middle, clears the front leg and hammers it over the bowler

angled across, full outside off, jammed down to a very fine short third man

flighted on the pads, but this time he drives it firmly to long-on

and again! Good length on middle, goes back and pushes it into that region again. Six runs in three balls, as easy as you get.

drifted into the pads again, and he pushes it nicely between deep midwicket and long-on

fired into the pads on a good length, puts a short stride in and pushes with soft hands into the open midwicket region
