Bird, Pope, Curran didn't bowl today for the Sixers. Would form a pretty good line-up for its own side.
In the end Sixers had no one who couldn't meaningfully contribute. While Stars had Maddinson, Dunk, Handscomb, Gotch whose form and/or ability I question strongly with the bat. Handscomb got disrupted yes but Short still hit some good runs.

I heard Warner was going to play.
But he said no I'll play grade cricket give the the guys that have been playing a game.
Haze is on another level again.
Hilarious given that most seasons Stars fans do nothing but whinge about losing their best players to international duties.
Turns out Stars can’t even win when they don’t get selected.
This is surely the goal for all teams. Attendance, ratings, exposure and winning lifted by getting the Aussie stars back.
Don't blame them for wanting to rest at this time, but it's only enhance the league if they all played 3-4 games and then potentially finals.
Yep.
There would be no one from Victoria mentioning it if these international level players were Victorians playing for the stars tonight.
So what you're saying is they played the majority of the season without 3 stars taking up reasonable cap room, yet still managed to put themselves in a position to win..
Good management if you ask me. Calculated risk to give list spots to 3 players you know are only going to be available late.
Weird argument in here. So the Sixers won because they have better players and those better players played better.

It was a gutsy gamble.

Most of the stars batsmen are only capable of accelerating after a period of getting their eye in. Ignoring Dunk and Maddinson for obvious form issues; none of Larkin, Handscomb or Gotch can hit big at the start of their innings. Stoinis and Maxwell can, but they’ve also played better cricket this BBL as a result of building their innings.
Chasing 10 an over in a 12 over match was always going to be a step too far for this stars lineup.

Some real yiewww action going on in the crowd.
I'd say giving 3 high level spots out of 20 in a team sport of 11 is a risk. Means they run a real risk of Edwards x2, Fallins etc being given a run of games with injury, other guys on the cusp of selection (Abbott), international players potentially in and out

Bullshit. There's the second half of the Shield season, and an ODI series against NZ still to go.
Good time to be a Sydney fan. Roosters finished their back to back, Sydney FC killing it and even the Sydney Kings have their shit together.
Sixers just joining the party!!!

they also effectively limited themselves to one overseas player to do it
On that note, I think the only real change on this front is a rethink on overseas players making their season debut in the finals. The situation the Scorchers found themselves in, having to play Morkel over Jordan for their sudden death match so that Morkel could play in the finals, was not good at all imo.
Shield is still going.
