THE Stars are in the box seat in the Melbourne derby after an incredible innings from Luke Wright helped them to 207.



Opening the innings with Cameron White, the English allrounder showed his Ashes compatriots how to swing the willow, sending the ball flying in all directions for a quickfire 70 off just 32 balls.

White also showed some good signs, playing the anchor role superbly until he was brought undone by the spin of Aaron O'Brien for 53 off 38 balls.


Spin was the Renegades' main weapon, and they could have faced a much bigger target if not for the guile of Sri Lankan genius Muttiah Muralitharan, who completed his spell of four overs with the excellent figures of 1-23, including the crucial wicket of Wright.
