[CURVE]

Phew! Got away with one.

The bowling unit looks strong, but we really need another batter in the top order. I'm happy with Perry opening, but I'd rather see Gardner come in at four, we need to bring in an opener and move Bates down to three.

Perhaps get Haynes out of retirement, she would look good in Magenta.

And with that win , the Sixers move from 8th to 6th on the standings.

[Del125763]

Meg Lanning up against her old mob

and Alana King 100th game today

 

[Del125763]

Peschel with a no ball. Free hit for the Stars.

Sophie Reid with a chance of a free slog here.

 

[Del125763]

A top edge and the Stars will gladly take those freebies.

 

[Del125763]

Commentator reckons there is a good tinge of grass on the wicket.

 

[Del125763]

King gets a wicket in her 100th game. And that was plum!

 

[Del125763]

King drops a sitter.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lanning looks so done

 

[Del125763]

Alana King a horrendous fielding today


2 absolute dollies. And its the big wicket of Capsey too.

 

[Del125763]

A bit of way to rub salt in the wound too. Very next ball goes bang for 4.

 

[Del125763]

Alana King might be the worst fielder in the Perth Scorcher lineup and thats being generous.

 

[Del125763]

Sophie Reid with her highest ever WBBL score with 24 not out.

 

[Del125763]

Piepa Cleary having a mare today

 

[Del125763]

Can you continue to bowl Peipa Cleary if she has conceded 26 runs off 11 balls?

 

[Del125763]

3rd time lucky this time Alana King gets the catch.


The Stars are 70/2 off 54 balls.

But the good thing for the Stars is they have some power in the shed.

 

[Del125763]

1 Brings 2 wickets and now the Stars have to consolidate again

Sophie Reid departs

Melbourne Stars are 70/3 off 57 balls.

 

[Del125763]

Sophie Reid seemed to struggle against the spin.

Sophie Reid scored 25 off 27 balls which is a bit too slow for this format for me.

 

[Del125763]

Mills on a hattrick

Melbourne Stars are 70/4 off 58 balls.

Big Wicket of Bouchier

 

[Del125763]

Criminal not to have a 1st slip with a new batter there. Criminal

 

[Del125763]

1st slip would have gobbled that.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There should be a rule where the Stars have to field first lol

 

[Del125763]

Still no 1st slip, absolutely agree with everything the commentators on Kayo are saying.

 

[Del125763]

Dunkley and Sutherland Id imagine have to look to nudge and nurdle for a while here.
