Dunk wouldn't have slept very well last night, pretty much lost his side the game.

Handscomb and Maxwell could have kept him company all night.

Thought Handscomb's was the worse, second ball and tries to dance down the pitch and hit Tremain out the park.

You could see Eddie McGuire was seething on the oval at the Presentations. Reading lips, he was saying to the person next to him that they just needed to push singles around, which was so true. All of them got out going for big hits, was just dumb cricket!

Losing 7/19 in those circumstances was one of the biggest chokes of all time!

In 8 BBL's the Stars have played in 7 semi finals. They've lost 5, won 2.

They've lost both Grand Finals they've played in.

In 2015/16 they posted 9/176 and Sydney Sixers chased them down with 3 balls to spare.

In 2018/19 they needed 52 off 49 balls with 10 wickets in hand and lost by 13 runs.

Is that the worst finals record of any major sports code in Australia?

He only needed to push it around for a bit to get his eye in too, "Billy, don't be a hero".

Stoinis got out on the 78th ball when the score was 93, leaving 53 from 42 balls and he was partly the blame?

Striking at 119 when they needed to strike at 122 to win, aren't openers meant to set the platform then the middle order capitalise?

While I don't think it was good for him to throw his teammates under the bus, and it is one of many reasons, I actually agree with Maxwell. If your openers bat 13 overs, you shouldn't be behind the required rate.

Did anyone take notice of how Warnie was chalking Finch's cue when he was dismissed, he said "Finch was in unbelievable form" he was on 13 from 10 FFS.

Must be hitting them well, couldn't even break a plastic chair despite having two attempts at it.

Don't know why people listen to Foxtel commentators, Channel 7 has been much better. Ponting always makes so much sense, best of the lot.
