BBL 2016/17: 5 best moments from the Hobart Hurricanes-Melbourne Stars clash

#2 Everything begins at the top

Rob Quiney enjoyed the even pace and bounce of the surface

The pre-requisites for any modern-day white-ball chase includes a strong statement from the top-order. Unlike their counterparts, the Stars got off to a powerful start on the back of Rob Quiney and Luke Wright’s heroics.

Despite the Hurricanes bowling attack featuring the likes of Shaun Tait and Stuart Broad, the openers managed to set the pace early. Even a semblance of waywardness did not escape the long-handle treatment. Wright took on the aggressor role and made full use of a stumping reprieve to cruise to a 29-ball 48. Once he departed, Quiney received the baton to continue the momentum.
