Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
Stephen Fleming, the Stars coach, has a chat with McCullum. Who knows, the two could team up later in the year at the IPL.
"It wasn't a pretty fifty but I found a way to be not out at the end, so it feels nice," says Chris Lynn. "We normally lose at home and win away, trying to turn it around this year."
If ever Chennai Super Kings, who have to finalise their player retention this week, were in two minds, tonight should be enough validation regarding Brendon McCullum. The Brisbane Heat captain knocked the stuffing out of Melbourne Stars in a bruising half-century to set up this chase. A target of 140 on a slightly slugging surface ought to have tested them, but the manner of that opening stand resulted in a rout that has left Stars winless after three matches. Lots of hard work lays ahead. As Pietersen summed it up, 'We can't be this poor.'

Stoinis to Lynn, FOUR runs
backs away and crashes this length ball outside off to the cover boundary. Does he want to hop out of Melbourne tonight itself? Looks like it. As a bowler, you'd think you didn't do much wrong. What improvisation

Stoinis to Lynn, FOUR runs
