Cameron White lifts Stars to derby win Cameron White complained about a mysterious green laser on the pitch before demolishing Melbourne Renegades' bowling attack in Saturday night's BBL derby. Stars captain White smashed an unbeaten 84 off 49 balls as the visitors claimed a nine-wicket win by reaching 1-167 off 16.2 overs. Renegades captain Aaron Finch had won the toss and blasted an unbeaten 84 in his side's 5-163. White said he wasn't sure if the laser incident was caused by TV cameras or a fan. "I just wanted to let them (umpires) know," White said. I didn't realise at the time but that's why Finchy was stopping a few times as well because someone had a green laser. It might have been something to do with lining up the TV cameras. So it could be that or someone had a laser beam. It's not really something that we're used to. White, who was dropped twice in the first six overs, raced to his half-century off 29 balls. Glenn Maxwell and White hit 26 including four sixes off the 13th over of the innings, bowled by spinner Aaron O'Brien. Maxwell (58 off 28 balls) and White added an unbroken 98-run stand as the Stars continued their unbeaten run this season after four matches while the Renegades suffered their third loss in five games. Finch's 55-ball innings for the Renegades included a top-edged shot which hit the roof at Etihad Stadium and was called a six as the record crowd of over 42,000 roared their approval. Tom Cooper (60) and Finch rescued the Renegades' innings from 3-17 as they shared a 102-run stand for the fourth wicket. It was Finch's third half-century in five BBL matches this summer. Jackson Bird (3-24) had earlier ripped through the home side's top order with three wickets in four balls of the second over of the match. "It's a credit to Jackson that he can come off an extended layoff and get the job done," White said of the former Test quick who was sent home from Australia's Ashes tour in August with a back problem. Finch said losing three wickets in an over was unacceptable, even against a high-class bowler like Bird. The Renegades' skipper said the Stars' batting depth was a key to their success. "Guys at the top of the order can afford to go hard knowing they've got so many guys behind them who can pick up the pieces if it goes wrong," Finch said. It hasn't gone wrong for them yet. That was a pretty clinical display. Saturday night's crowd of 42,837 is a record for cricket at Etihad Stadium and the third-highest for an Australia domestic T20 game. "That was an amazing crowd," Finch said.
