Eh? No it won't.
If you're 1000 points both for and against at the start, a 100-50 win will give you a percentage of 104.8. A 200-100 win will give you a percentage of 109.1.

Would take a ridiculous margin. Ain't happening.
Won't White and Marsh be playing for Australia?

I'm pretty confident the bowlers won't serve up so much tripe again two matches in a row. At home I wasn't too fussed facing either the Sixers or the Stars. Bring it on, the boys will be very hungry to atone.

Excellent point. Stoinis to open and Dussey in, Harris to open for Perth.
Well, to be specific you'd need to have a starting percentage greater than the percentage of the game for the lower scoring game to give you a better result. So if your percentage was more than 200, that's when a 100-50 win is better than 200-100.
In any case, the context was that if you need a big NRR boost, you're probably better off batting first, because if you bat second against a low total you'll need to have a much higher RR to have the same impact on your NRR.
If they were attempting to host the final then it would be better to bat first and make 240.
Based on his early season form he should nearly be there by the time rogers, haddin, harris & co depart next summer
Being released for the game, so in other words it's a 1 game only appearance in the ODI side
Go Stars!

i don't think you understand maths
Good win from the stars but doesn't mean a whole lot in the end unless the Sixer's overtake us. We got a home Semi and that's all we wanted out of this game.

just hope the CV coaching staff don't try and adjust his batting!
last nites innings he looked like S Smith at the crease
Hope the Scorchers got torn a new one by JL last night for the last 10 overs of bowling and fielding alone. The only bowler who could be saved is Arafat and maybe Hogg who although didn't take a wicket only went at 7.5 an over.
The pressure early in the bowling innings was terrific especially from Arafat but after the White wicket the lads possible expected to win and granted because Melbourne looked in more trouble than C. Gull after a vicious Voges pull shot. That's the thing in T20. There are no absolutes and the game can change dramatically in one over. Credit to Peter Handscomb. Terrific knock under duress.
The batting from Marsh was terrific but we lost all momentum when he went out, 220 was on the cards if he was there at the 20 over mark. You can argue that Turner or a power hitter should've come in at 3 (Mitch Marsh would have been perfect for the situation) but the batting wasn't why we lost.
Our fielding was average at best. Ground fielding we saved a few runs on the rope and Klinger took two smart catches under pressure, but the dropped catch off White and 2 run out fumbles weren't acceptable. Dropping White didn't hurt us on the scoreboard too much but it's more so the extra few deliveries that we would have got to bowl to Quiney and co. Tye's fumble didn't change the game drastically because the Stars were powering home at that stage. Agar's however came at a more crucial time.
Arafat and Hogg (the two most experienced bowlers surprise, surprise) are the two who could be most saved from the coach's wrath. Behrendorf was the worst I've seen him in BBL 04, Tye dropped his bundle late after being effective early but as far as I'm concerned there's no escaping for Agar's bowling. You can't afford to put three successive balls in the slot like he did to the slogger John Hastings. Chris Martin could have smacked that rubbish for maximum's.
Looking to the SEMI I'd hope for a much better performance with the ball and in the field for starters. A fit NCN would come back straight away but who for ~ Agar or Tye? I'd be willing to give Tye another shot because he has been a handy bowler apart from last night. Can always throw the ball to AT for some overs of off spin. Obviously would love the home semi but the selfish part of me wants a semi at the SCG as well. Doubt it will happen but, unless the Thunder implode and if the game was to end up at the SCG we can look back at our own game against the Thunder and see that's why we aren't playing the semi at home.

Because of the delay I only watched until about 5 overs into the Stars innings and thought this one's over, should've seen my face when I woke up to see the results on the news.

I have to confess I stopped watching when the Stars had to get 14 runs an over, as I thought they were done. Imagine my surprise today learning they won. Pissed off now I didn't watch to the end.
