First - it should be a catch according to the spirit of the game. Second - there was no way his 'fingers were under the ball'. Stupid law - but it should have been not out.

Ok - my suggestion for the Gades: Finch was the best T20 batsman in the world - as an opener. I get the idea of playing him middle order for 'experience', buty in the absence of any decent openers (neither Guptill or Harris look like they can hit the ball hard), he's got to go back up. Finch...

Couldn't leave it - the girl hasn't called any wides for the Gades.

Ok - Sutherland should definitely open the batting.

Looks like Gades have another top shelf international.............................

Harper's faced 3 wides in his innings - managed to hit them all and score exactly one run. If he'd just left them, the Gades would have scored 3 runs, and had 3 more deliveries.

Guptill just looks old - slow and no power in his batting.

Geez Harper, just touch that and it's 4 or 6, miss it completely and its a wide - you've done well to score zero off that.

Good idea having white advertising where a white ball will hit it.

Shouls open. If they go 2 for none, Gades are no worse off than what they have now.

Yorkers, too.

Well, you're probably right. With no test players, and all the top T20 players now going to other leagues, the BBL standard is pretty poor.

Julien - "Small partnership starting to devlop here" Two ball later Lee "Small partnership beginning here" ..

Running a 3? That's Finch done for the day.....................

Finch definitely is.

Pitch might be too....................................

I reckon Maddinson is injured - he can't run. So he's just going the tonk.

Bad luck for Harper - had to get the strike because Prestwidge was just chewing up deliveries.

Not enough time to play himself in.

One of the worst 7s you'll see.

Melbourne Stars get a lucky break - Maddinson won't bat.

That's really poor by Maxwell - unless he was saying it with a wink (printed quotes miss body-language etc). 'Thought we bowled Ok, and gave them 15-20 too many'. Well, you didn't bowl OK, did you?!?! If you gave them too many, you didn't bowl well enough. 'Picked out one bloke on the...

Greg Shipperd must surely be first in line for the next Aussie Job. His domestic record (Tassie, Vic, Stars, Delhi and now Sixers) is impressive. His teams are always up there. T20, first-class - they perform.

Fat Lady has sung, gone home, and onto her second chardy already.

Great start.

Why are poms nearly always lousy fielders?

Could be worse - there was a Test Match in England (1992) at Brimingham. England v Pakistan. First day - rained out. Second day - still pissing down. ECB decide - 'We can't lose another day's gate takings'. Push the players out at 5pm, give the ball to Daffy De Freitas (probably a snorkel...

I guess Boyce and Shinwari split the bowlers votes, so Harper got it.
