Big Bash League.

[Donny]

Stars v. Scorchers.

Stars 2/69 after 10 overs. Gulbis 37, Tye 1/9.

[K]

Bancroft sort of going okay.

Beer and Klinger look ancient. I'm not sure I could recognize them without context.

[K]

Bancroft gets to 50.

[Donny]

1/94 after 13 overs.

Bancroft 59*, Turner 5*.

[Donny]

Easy win for the Perth mob.

Bancroft 59 (42), Turner 43* (22).

[Donny]

Tonight.

Heat v. Renegades.

[K]

McCullum hits a second 50, but not one he seems happy with.

(I think he just confirmed his dissatisfaction. Was "woeful" the word he used?)

[K]

Tuffers admits to being "disappointed" with the way spin has been handled by BBL batsmen. He may be being polite... Are batsmen this befuddled in the IPL?

[Donny]

The Renegades completed their 7th. successive win against the Heat, to move up to second on the table.

Sam Harper impressed, again. 56* from 40 balls.

[K]

I have to look for replays, preferable zoomed in and slo-mo, to see exactly what happened with the incident with the dropped catch and the ball whacking the fielder's face, etc.

^ Here is the incident:

It seemed to miss almost entirely Cutting's hands and whack him between the eyes. I'm not sure if that had any part in the dropping/throwing of the ball later in H. Gibbs style. Not out was the cricket verdict. Five stitches (but nothing major besides) was the medical verdict.

[Donny]

Adelaide Strikers 5-178 (Ingram 57, Head 43, Wells 32*, Plunkett 4-36) defeated Melbourne Stars 137 (Gulbis 37; Laughlin 3-19, O'Connor 2-24) by 41 runs. The Strikers moved up to second, on the ladder.

[K]

"Injury to sideline Pattinson for rest of BBL season"

Side strain in the last Heat game.

[I'm not sure if he completed his overs after injuring himself...]

[Donny]

Thunder 4/119 after 14 overs.

Rashid and Stanlake have 2 wickets each. Watson 65*.

[Donny]

Watto out for 68 (40).

5/123.
