147 NOT OUT! Marcus Stoinis just smashed the previous best score in Big Bash history in a simply ridiculous innings at the MCG, with record after record falling: BBL09
“By that reaction it meant a lot to him,” Shane Warne said on Fox Cricket after Stoinis made his century. “He really wanted to do it for his team at the MCG.
“We’ve seen how well he’s done this year at the top of the order. He can bat anywhere in this form of the game, he’s a super player.” Stoinis and opening partner Hilton Cartwright also set the record for the highest opening partnership in BBL history, passing Rob Quiney and Luke Wright’s 172 in the competition’s first season.The Melbourne Stars finished the innings on 1-219, while Stoinis hit 13 fours and eight sixes.
Speaking after the innings, Stoinis told Fox Cricket: “What a place to play cricket, I love the Melbourne Stars, I love playing at the MCG, I love this time of year.”A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.
