Gurinder Sandhu 1-26(4 ov)
16.6
Gurinder Sandhu to Hastings, no run, slower and wider outside off, Hastings tries to cut it away but is beaten by the lack of pace
16.5
Gurinder Sandhu to Hastings, no run, slower ball and Hastings is early into the shot. Chips it towards point but just falls short
16.4
Gurinder Sandhu to Seb Gotch, out Caught by Khawaja!! Soft dismissal! Gotch will be disappointed with this. Just when he was starting to shift gears, he has to walk back. Short of a length and no pace to work with, he tries to slap this off the back foot but the change of pace does him in. All he manages is a scoop to backward point where Khawaja takes an easy catch. This sums up Stars' issue of the season, losing wickets at the wrong times throughout. Seb Gotch c Khawaja b Gurinder Sandhu 31(25) [4s-2 6s-1]
16.4
Gurinder Sandhu to Seb Gotch, wide, slower and well outside off, too wide as Gotch fails to reach it. Signaled by the umpire
16.3
Gurinder Sandhu to Seb Gotch, SIX, that's into the crowd! That's a smashing stroke from Gotch, he's picked the slower ball early and swings through the line. Meaty blow and it made a cracking sound off the blade. Boom!

Gurinder Sandhu to Faulkner, 1 run, back of a length and just outside off, Faulkner cuts but straight to sweeper cover, another single and the Thunder won't mind these

10.5
Gurinder Sandhu to Seb Gotch, 1 run, slower bouncer and climbs onto Gotch who rides it with a gentle tap towards short mid-wicket. Quick single
10.4

10.3
Gurinder Sandhu to Handscomb, 2 runs, shortish and a bit wide outside off, cut away through backward point. Another two as this time, it's third man who has some work to do
10.2
Gurinder Sandhu to Handscomb, 2 runs, walks down the track and this is straighter in line, whipped aerially through backward square leg. The man at fine leg gets around to tidy up. Easy two here at the MCG
10.1
Gurinder Sandhu to Handscomb, no run, on a good length just outside off, stays on the back foot and defends it
4.6
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, FOUR, smashed away! The trademark KP front foot pull. Trifle short from Sandhu and it's been dispatched to the deep mid-wicket fence. Total swagger on the stroke
4.6
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, wide, slips this down leg, Pietersen made room and tried to flick but couldn't connect
4.5
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, no run, straighter lines from a good length, worked off the back foot to the leg-side
4.4
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, no run, direct hit at the bowler's end but Handscomb is in, only just though. It was the wristy drive from Pietersen but it was going straight towards mid-on. Handscomb wanted the single and had to rush back, good decision
4.3
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, no run, looks to force this front foot drive away but cannot pick the gap. A bit too full from Sandhu and it's struck straight to mid-off
4.2
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, no run, just short of a good length and attacking the off stump channel, Pietersen hangs back and pushes it to mid-off
4.1
Gurinder Sandhu to Pietersen, no run, back of a length on off stump, stands tall and punches it towards mid-on. The ball isn't quite coming on to the bat from a good length or thereabouts
1.6
Gurinder Sandhu to Handscomb, 1 run, leg-stump line again and it's on a length, Handscomb tucks it away to deep mid-wicket to retain strike
1.5
Gurinder Sandhu to Ben Dunk, 1 run, drifts onto the pads, worked away down the leg-side for a run
1.4
Gurinder Sandhu to Ben Dunk, no run, dropped!! Only technically though. Dunk was giving the charge to this and smashed the full ball right back down the track. Sandhu did well to get a hand on it but that was about it. Would be really harsh to expect those to stick, that happens just by luck
1.3
Gurinder Sandhu to Handscomb, 1 run, slight confusion but they decide against the second run eventually. Good length ball and it's a bit straight in line, Handscomb works it well to the right of mid-on
1.2
Gurinder Sandhu to Ben Dunk, 1 run, fullish and on middle and leg, worked away off his pads in front of square
1.1
Gurinder Sandhu to Ben Dunk, no run, beats the edge! Gets this good length to seam away a touch with extra bounce. Dunk didn't know too much about this one as he hung his bat
1.1
Gurinder Sandhu to Ben Dunk, wide, slides this down the leg-side, a hint of inward shape maybe but wayward line. Dunk misses the flick
