Still don’t understand the Stars batting lineup, their best batting is still at 5/6/7 and then they have really unreliable guys in the top 4

they can always rejig the batting order based on the game situation.

 

[Cleavy]

Stars win the toss and elect to field

They could but they never seem to

Rogers and Harper might not have made a run all season last year and stayed top 3 the entire time and looks like they’ll do it again tonight

 

[ioppolo]

Hamish MacKenzie still around. Forgot he existed after his one or two shield games for WA.

Some idiots were playing the drums and chanting during the minute’s silence

Cartwright makes no mistake on the second try, lucky that drop didn't cost the Stars much.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I've said it before but I reckon Fraser-McGurk values his wicket more than Mitch Owen

Thought that was rude if not bizarre, very strange.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Awful batting from Owen

He’s had a lot of good the past 12 months, you can forgive him if it’s just once but wouldn’t want to make a habit of that

 

[Plugger35]

That is dumb batting from Mitch Owen, he got away with a dropped catch and then hit another catch the next ball.

 

[NSWCROW]

All gas, no brakes

Maxwell basically trolled him on the mic last year saying he couldn't play like that at the G. Fell in the trap last year and did the same this year. Very dumb.

 

[Hamingja]

Hit the cover off it and reviewed it. The usual Hurricanes import that is so bad you are not sure if they are on the take or not.

That was a shocker, just looked out and sounded out. To blame a dodgy bat handle is laughable.

It looked like he thought he was batting at Bellerive rather than the MCG where the boundaries are a lot further away.

All gas, no brakes

all gas, no brains

Some idiots were playing the drums and chanting during the minute’s silence

Noticed this too, very ordinary. When the PA announced it was over there did seem to be an 'oh shit' sudden stop

Reminds me of some idiot at the moments silence for 9/11 before the 01 Semi Final yelled out "Go Tiges"

 

[Plugger35]

The Hurricanes are batting like they have put money on the Stars.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Rauf seems to have a lot of trouble keeping his feet.

 

[neko]

McDermott looking in good touch here. Very important partnership building for the Hurricanes.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Watson doesn’t have the voice for commentary

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Stand up Rauf FFS!!!

 

[Plugger35]

The Stars could do with some fielding training.
