Heat vs Stars, 2nd Match at Brisbane, Dec 20 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Faulkner shuffles a fair way outside the leg stump and manufactures swinging room, but this is a short, slower cutter outside off, forced to the covers

back of a length on off, he clears his front leg and hacks it away to the right of long-on. Good running catch from Doggett

Stoinis has been dropped on 98 but has been run out on 99. Stunning innings from Stoinis but it can't get his side past the line. He slugs this back-of-a-length ball straight to deep midwicket but Labuschange now drops the catch. He recovers a fires a throw at the keeper's end. Stonis is caught short despite a full-length dive

Pierson, the keeper, runs back and misses this skier. It hung up in the sky for a long time. Short and cramps the moving batsman for room. The result is a swirling top edge, which Pierson drops

Baz back-tracks from mid-off, stretches his hands, but this miscue clears him. Faulkner gave himself room and sliced it away

full on off, clubbed across the line between deep midwicket and wide long-on. Good tag-team work in the deep

really full on off, not a perfect yorker, but the batsman can't get under the length. Whipped up to long-on

wide yorker outside off, toe-ended past the left of the bowler

dug in short and outside off, right up there for Faulkner to pull it away to his favourite midwicket boundary

slower short ball on middle, he swings early, and cue-ends it down to long-on

Stoinis clears long-off now. He gets under this full ball and lifts it over Baz, I think

short of a good length and slanting away outside off, the batsman hangs back and swats it in the air. Two men converge at long-on but Stoinis clears the boundary

back of a length on off, flicked away to deep midwicket for two more. Good work from Doggett too. Just 25 off the last three overs

back of a length and outside off, flat-bat swat down to long-on

short and rises on middle, steps away outside leg and carves to cover-point

full and wide outside off, swished down to long-off running in

short and wide outside off, backs away and slashes to backward point. There's a mix-up between the wickets, eventually a dot

full on the leg stump, following the batsman, who was backing away. Pumped down the ground. Baz chases hard, and flicks the ball into the field of play before sliding over the boundary

wide of the crease, pretty full and holds its line outside off, carted through the line to extra cover. They scamper across for a single. A direct hit at the bowler's end could have had Faulkner. They pinch an extra run via an overthrow

short and wide outside off, hangs back and drags the ball to deep midwicket
