The commentators were even saying before the game that with the rain coming they would need to get to the 5th over of the second innings for it to be considered a game. That didnt happen.

Clearly the commentators have no idea then.
I don't know how to explain it any simpler than what Coverking did.

The game did not need to 5 overs to be bowled as the stars reached the target in 2.1 overs.
Perhaps another way to explain it is if the Stars were chasing the 60 odd that the scorchers made and got them in 4.5 overs it is still a game even though they didnt recieve 5 overs. There isn't a rule that says you must take 5 overs to reach your target

No one said there was such rule.

Only trying to put it into simple terms for the guys that are having trouble working out what happened

Got a bad feeling about this game. Brisbane have a decent batting line up. we need to post least 170+

Ludeman batting at 3, no Tait

Strange Reardon has dropped to 6, obviously didn't impress over at the WACA

As much as i am a Tait fan at the moment does he play in front of Richo or Putland? I'm with the selectors and say No.

Hope not but the batting line ups foxtel have put up before the game have been correct every time except the occasional situation swap.
