Innings break Great bowling performance by the Stars. Glenn Maxwell marshalled his troops well. The spinners were again very effective and Jackson Coleman and Dwayne Bravo exploited the slow surface with their slower balls. Jordan Silk keep the innings alive for the Sixers with an excellent unbeaten 41. It's something for them to defend.

Michael: "Whatever David G has been drinking....I want one please..." Adarsh: "David, while I understand the sentiment about the spirit of cricket, it is realistic to recognize that cricket is basically a business. The shorter the format, higher the money to be made. Also, as viewers, we have the choice to watch or not watch."

David g: "Enough of this tawdry farce. Manufactured franchised garbage cricket devoid of loyalty from the players. Purely and only about marketing and money, just like Cricket Australia. Overhyped, sensationalised dross totally distant from the spirit of the game. Go on, post that, it's the truth." Bold opinion David.
