I went to the Big Bash last night, watched it from the Long Room, sitting right up against the glass. Sometimes life is tough. And I have to say, life is tough if you're up against the Melbourne Stars. The hosts were missing; Lasith Malinga, Clint Makay, Glenn "the Big Show" Maxwell, Matthew Wade, and future Prime Minister James Faulkner. With these players all out of action, the Stars still made light work of the Hurricanes, who are far from the worst team in this comp. A coupl of blinding catches were taken during the course of the match. James Muirhead, recently selected to the Oz T20 squad, bowled one over.
Luke Wright top scored in the chase with 52, and is currently the lading run scorer in the comp. Why he isn't in the England ODI squad is just a tad perplexing. The Hurricanes did bowl well, but the total simply wasn't enough. I was impressed with the giddy-up ball that ball that both Ben Hilfenhaus and Doug the Rug served up during the run chase. The Stars have their next game against the Perth Scorchers on Monday. I might just have to see if I can get myself back in the Long Room!
