Player of the Match
Ben Duckett | Melbourne Stars
It was tough at the start, actually got stuck in and I really wanted to be there at the end, did not go that way, thankfully got Hilton and Maxi coming in. That’s the strength and depth we have got with Maxi and Hilton as well, important to take it deep. Stoinis batted beautifully, he took all the pressure off me.
[on the Cartwright 121m six] Three times as far I can hit. Coming into the end of the innings, to hit fours and sixes, on a wicket which was a tiny bit slow is exceptional. [on Cartwright] Look at the size of him, so glad it came off today.
[on the MCG crowd] Pretty cool, the crowd was extremely loud and hopefully I get another chance to play in one. That’s what I have been trying to do in the last few years, take the ego out of it, can’t do what the big guys do and try to stick to what I can.
It’s a long way off, the Ashes, trying to focus on what is in front of me. We have played some pretty good cricket, haven’t done it all the way through. Was the same tonight. Winning games are so big in competitions. If we keep going and if this momentum keeps going, we keep believing.
It’s been a strange competition for me, thankfully I have contributed in games. I was joking with Bethell earlier on saying if I get past the first ball I should be okay.
