Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the Melbourne Stars are a franchise cricket team that plays in the Big Bash League, Australia’s Twenty20 competition. The Melbourne Cricket Ground serves as the venue for the Stars’ home games, where they don a green uniform. Glenn Maxwell recently scored 154* against the Hobart Hurricanes at the MCG, making him the highest individual score in Big Bash League history.

The official mascots of the Melbourne Stars are Starman and Starlet. After a seagull was hit with a cricket ball by Perth Scorchers batsman Adam Voges during a match between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers in BBL|04 while the Stars were fielding at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Stars introduced a secondary mascot in BBL|05, Steven Seagull.

Rob Quiney, who arrived first, delicately carried the injured bird over the boundary rope and returned it to the turf, indicating that he feared the worst for the bird as it lay motionless. But the bird came back to life in a matter of minutes and began walking along the boundary line, much to the delight of the large MCG crowd.
