Sixers win the flip…

And of zero surprise bowl first

 

[StillAtLarge]

Wonder if the Stars are due to post a monster total tonight, it hasn't really clicked for them but they've still found a way to win of late

Is there a coin toss ladder hanging around anywhere? I don’t think the Sixers have lost one yet and Perth has just about lost them all

[Stig O'Hara]

Stars bat to 7 at least.

Surely they’ll fire soon enough.

 

[danielnajdek]

I see the gnome plodder is still in the team. Can't wait to watch him make 3 off 6 balls again.

 

[Plugger35]

Duckett in Bazball mode.

 

[Reign Man]

223 is my somewhat ridiculous prediction. What would par be? 185?

 

[madjoe]

why open with edward? odd move v harper who is a walking wicket

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Deadset hack Harper.

 

[10Dulkar]

Forum favourite Tom Morris is doing the commentary on SEN tonight.

Harper again flattering to deceive.

 

[Plugger35]

Harper gone early, that's probably a better wicket for the Stars than the Sixers.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How does this hack still get a game

 

[madjoe]

isn't peter handscomb a free agent? surely you got to sign him over harper

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Harper is a spud

 

[danielnajdek]

Harper is a spud

That's unfair to potatoes.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Who was the team that led that 4 foot midget get runs

 

[madjoe]

duckett was a ex keeper wasn't he? pull the pin on harper asap

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Who was the team that led that 4 foot midget get runs

We did.

We still won…..was a tactical ploy.

 

[Plugger35]

Duckett ducks off, big wicket for the Sixers, he was looking dangerous.

 

[10Dulkar]

Love watching Hosein bowl. I remember when I lived in Abu Dhabi it was a great battle with Warner in the t20 World Cup.
A real shame he's not finishing the tournament.

 

[madjoe]

where's dan trying to hit that ,

 

[Plugger35]

The Stars need the old firm of Stoinis and Maxwell to step up now.
