Stars vs Heat, 23rd Match at Brisbane, BBL, Dec 27 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Guthrie ends it with a superb looking straight drive past the bowler. Maxwell in pursuit even though it won't make a difference but the ball wins the race

reverse sweep, but straight to cover

bit of a limp drive to that and the inside edge goes to square leg

and the bouncer now, homing in on the helmet, looks to back away and upper cut it but can't connect

back of a length in the channel, looks to cut, bat nowhere near ball

Guthrie gets some of his own back! Full outside off, no feet movement and he swings through the line and over the bowler's head

backing away and Dre tries to keep it out of his reach and go wide outside off. Too wide as it turns out

coming forward, ball's dug in short outside off, he mis-times his pull to midwicket in the circle

great catch by Maxwell at long-on. Fuller outside off, connects well with the straight slog-sweep. Looks like the ball will clear Maxwell but he times his jump perfectly and lands inside the rope, has the poise and balance to not take a step over.

makes room to this length ball on the stumps and flat-bats it over the bowler's head and into the straight boundary

fuller on the stumps, lumped to deep midwicket along the ground

sliding down legside, he's falling over as he tries to flick, great take from Nevill who thinks there's an edge, but there wasn't.

was looking to heave this over cow corner but can't time it and the ball trickles to long-on

fuller outside off, comes on the front foot and laces a cover drive that threads the field and finds the boundary

bouncer outside off, took his eyes off the ball and swung in hope, no connection

excellent catch running forward by long-off and diving in front. Heazlett had a big swipe at one well outside off, couldn't fetch it properly, and the ball ends up swirling just beyond mid-off. Webster at long-off sprints in and then has to put in a dive, to hold on to it.

tried to reverse-scoop a full ball outside off, but can't connect

fuller and very wide outside off, toe-ends the drive to long-off. Because it's not hit well, they can hustle the second

nails it this time. Moved way across his stumps and picked it up from outside off to sweep it to the square leg boundary

was going across to try and scoop it, ends up not connecting well so the ball flies over short third man - instead of short fine leg as he intended
