The Melbourne Stars' 10 years of Big Bash history is genuinely some of the most hilarious sports in Australian history. Don't do this normally but, a thread:

BBL01: a somewhat conventional semi final loss to Perth, but look at the batting lineup they were rocking, they had Matty Wade at 8. 2/88 chasing 175 until Ben Edmondson (!) takes a double wicket maiden. https://t.co/d4Ld1rJEvu
BBL02: The hilarity begins. Faulkner "captains" as Warne is risking a ban for slow over rates from the H&A stage. Scorchers need three off the last ball and Faulkner bowls a noey. Calamity. As an aside, Alex Keath on debut goes 1-0-27-0. https://t.co/kwoPWJv1L1
BBL03: Stars go 8-0 in the H&A with a NRR of 2.2. Utterly dominant. But it's a knockout 1 v 4 in the semi and you know what happens...Hobart restrict them to 141 and Paine makes 65 as they chase it down easily. https://t.co/O6JKrnMWbV
BBL04: Third time in four years, Stars lose a semi in Perth. Only chasing 145, with KP batting with Luke Wright, nine wickets in hand at halfway, all out 126. https://t.co/HcZKgTtO80
BBL05: Stars win a semi at last! Host the final against the previously hapless Sydney Thunder, KP fires with 74 (39), but are undone by an Ussie Khawaja classic and a last over six by Ben Rohrer as Thunder chase down 177. https://t.co/YxipxvcCjq
BBL06: Fourth time in six years that the Stars lose a semi in Perth. Not close this time. Mitch Johnson takes both openers before a run is scored and finishes with a ridiculous 4-2-3-3. https://t.co/MCm5jU0EZl
BBL07: Conventional failure. A 2-8 record and Stars miss the finals for the first time ever.
BBL08: A derby final, the Stars need 53 off 43 with 10 wickets in hand. What could go wrong? Answer: everything. https://t.co/vsBmrkC4Dn
BBL09: Stars top the table, host a semi and are bowled out for 99 chasing 143. New finals format gives them a second chance but chasing 117 off 12 against the Sixers, they fall well short.
BBL10: needing all four points for a win to make the finals and needing a fast start, the Stars score 72 off the first 10 overs and 105 off the last 10. They do not get all four points. Happy first decade, Melbourne Stars.
