Big Bash - Melbourne Stars v Sydney Thunder - Melbourne

Stars look to be without Malinga.

Late stages of the Tourny now, and lotsa "must-win" games .. This time, it's for the Stars .. Thunder have lost 7 from 7, and are playing for wages/jobs.

Stars aren't so great, but Thunder are poor.

Pre-game .. Stars drift from 1.50 to 1.57 ... Prob cos of Malinga.



Stars win toss and bat

Run line - 163



Gayle plays for Thunder .. And to say he owes em 1, is an understatement.



Small lay of Stars, initially. (Betdaq offline)



Changed my mind, got tiny position with Stars.



Looks a good pitch .. Think Lumpy will try get with Stars.



Here we go ..



Stars 3-0 after 1, Stars 1.61

Stars 13-0 after 2, Stars 1.53. .. With the Stars, at 1.64 avg

Wkt - Wright runs himself out .. 6 from 9, Stars 1.63

Stars 18-1 after 3, Stars 1.62 .. I make them bigger, so have taken, v small profit, and am trying to lay Stars, at lower levels. Lumpy is in the house.

Stars 25-1 after 4, Stars 1.68 .. Which is a tad low, but, couldn't have a bet.

Stars 28-1 after 5, Stars 1.70

Part-time bowler on .. Gets hit for 2x4, then, wkt

Wkt - Quinney 22 from 19, Stars 1.75

Stars 37-2 after 6, Stars 1.77 .. About right .. No position

Stars 63-2 after 9, Stars 1.57 .. Some rain coming in .. Light stuff

Stars 70-2 after 10, Stars 1.63 .. Hard to get a position, at these prices.

Stars 77-2 after 11, Stars 1.61 .. V slight rain on Radar, shud be ok

Free hit, followed by 4,6 .. Lumpy back on Stars big.

Stars 94-2 after 12, Stars 1.35 .. Against Stars at 1.48 avg ..not happy, but, will let it go

Wkt - Hodge 39 from 26, Stars 1.46

Stars 100-3 after 13, Stars 1.40 .. Mkt expecting 170

Wkt - Hussey 32 from 28 , Stars 1.51 .. Will reduce Red ( at profit)

Stars 108-4 after 14, Stars 1.52

Stars 118-4 after 15, Stars 1.44 .. About right, but 170 is only Par

Wkt - Maxwell -7 from 12, Stars keep losing wkts, but still 1.43

Stars 127-5 after 16, Stars 1.44 .. Against Stars BIG .. At 1.34 avg

Stars 132-5 after 17, Stars1.54 .. They need 170, to justify this price
