“I thought you were going to play some shots now. The visitors managed to ride their luck early. “Just to make sure the batsman have something in the mind to go after you.” Clarke fell for 42 with a botched ramp but he set the platform for a big finish with Stoinis able to pick up the pace. “That was the easy ball to hit to mid-wicket.” How many balls you faced? “He knew he had to get more of that.” “The hulk returns to the BBL,” Fox Cricket’s Isa Guha praised. He first took Strikers captain Peter Siddle to the cleaners with a 24-run blitz in the 12th over. Stoinis provided the New Year’s Eve fireworks a little earlier than scheduled to lift the Stars to 7-186, as he fell with just five balls remaining in Melbourne’s innings. Needing a win to stay in the finals race, Stoinis silenced his critics with an impressive 74 off just 35 deliveries, as he blasted the highest score (29) off a single over this series. But Luke Wood stepped up and held his nerve to concede just eight runs in the final over as the Stars recorded just their second win of the tournament.

“Boult bowled a brilliant 18th over and he (Stoinis) won them the game with the bat, so well played,” Hose said. With the asking rate escalating, Hose and Henry Hunt (49) raised the tempo with a 74-run, third-wicket union. “I thought the wicket was really good and was going to get even better under lights and we bowled really well.”

New Road pace bowler Pat Brown is in action in the Nepal T20 League, and his side, Lumbini All Stars, have a 100 per cent record after the opening five group games. Bracewell had the highly respectable figures of 24-6-72-2, and 25-5-82-2 as Pakistan (438 and 311-8 declared) shared the spoils with the Black Caps (612-9 declared and 61-1). Bracewell dismissed opener Iman-ul-Haq and number three Shan Masood, a prolific scorer in county cricket for Derbyshire last summer, in the first innings.

Melbourne Stars 186 for 7 (Stoinis 74, Clarke 42, Wes Agar 3-27) beat Adelaide Strikers 178 for 5 (Hose 56*, Hunt 49, Hatcher 2-29) by eight runs.

Openers Joe Clarke and Tom Rogers set the platform which allowed Stoinis to tee off. With 33 required from the last two overs, Rashid helicoptered Stoinis for six, then squirted a four past third man to leave 17 needed off the 20th over. Earlier, Stoinis walked out to the middle hopelessly out of form with just 14 runs at an average of 3.5 for the tournament before recapturing his best form in brutal fashion.

"The rule is in place if someone is trying to take advantage and slow the game down." "I just hope, moving forward into the rest of the tournament, if it's going to be a rule then it has to be enforced." "I checked centre (guard), then I was standing off because I could see the field moving," he said. "Umpires have been very hot on me the last couple of games getting to the crease," Hose said. "I just hope that if it is the rule then we can play by it. If the batter fails to arrive in time, they must stand to the side of the pitch for the first delivery of their innings and allow the bowler - in this case Wes Agar - a free ball at the stumps.

Strikers upset match-winner Stoinis was not timed out (cricket.com.au)

The BBL's timed out rule chould have been enforced for the first time against Melbourne Stars matchwinner Marcus Stoinis, but umpires denied Adelaide ...

"The rule is in place if someone is trying to take advantage and slow the game down." "They (Strikers) appealed for that but the field was moving so it ended up being a dead ball." "I just hope, moving forward into the rest of the tournament, if it's going to be a rule then it has to be enforced." Stoinis was also critical of the Strikers' appeal for a timed out call against Hilton Cartwright in the 14th over. "To be honest, I was at cover for his first ball and I'm pretty certain he timed out – 75 seconds, he wasn't ready," Hose said. Big Bash authorities updated the playing conditions relating to batters being timed out last summer, decreeing that a batter must "be ready to receive the ball" within 75 seconds of a dismissal.

Stoinis said that there needs to be a “commonsense” approach to the new batter time-out rule. “There were a few times there where the fielders were moving when we were taking guard and we were ready,” Stoinis said. “There was a dead ball with Hilts (Hilton Cartwright), they appealed for that, but the field was moving so it ended up being a dead ball.” “He’d faced his first ball by the time we managed to get around the umpire and ask the question, but I just hope that if it is the rule that we can play by it.” “So, there was a bit of confusion there with the umpires. The batter must stand to the side of the pitch and allow the bowler, in this case Wes Agar, a free shot at the stumps if he’s not ready to face up to the bowler in that time.
