Now its time for them to kick some ass as a Queensland win means they are in the Final.
Cooper has really dropped in form, apart from his knock against WI he hasn't done much for months now.

Will be an interesting chase without our big guns in Smith and Warner. A lot will depend on Jaques.

Somebody needs to stay with Hughes, no point trying to match him

LOL @ QLd's 2nd inning collapse

meh Vic was worse when they had the lead

Pretty sure a collapse is worse when you're on the verge of victory.

Hey man it's not as if QLD had the advantage, VIC are the favorites and on the verge of a win.

So maybe it's actually a good game, not just two teams playing badly?

Most would have backed Victoria still even after their 2nd innings collapse, both teams have struggled to make runs the only reason Victoria got their score in the 1st innings was Wade and Finch. Queensland have struggled in both innings to make 170.

Geez why did it take so long for NSW to click into gear! Shows how much of a key Hughes is to everything, we started to hit form when he hit form. Nice to see Katich getting runs and Rorher. Henriques hmmm, starting to lose faith in him.

WHAT?????? You are kidding me, the Bulls WON????????????? :::

Gotta love the Vics

Way to choke.

Ah good old Victoria screwing over the rest of the states. Now the final is pretty much locked in. A shame as NSW were starting to his their straps although would have been easy pickings come the final with Katich and possibly Hughes gone.

Queensland always put up the most painful fight in the tail. It was true with Bichel and Noffke and it's still happening.

 

[aussie1st]

FRC final almost upon us. Should be a good battle between the keepers as Wade has had a very good season.

Victoria: Andrew McDonald (capt), Aiden Blizzard, Aaron Finch, John Hastings, Michael Hill, Brad Hodge, Glenn Maxwell, Bryce McGain, Darren Pattinson, Rob Quiney, Chris Rogers, Matthew Wade, Damien Wright.

Tasmania: George Bailey (capt), Luke Butterworth, Ed Cowan, Gerard Denton, Michael Dighton, Xavier Doherty, Brendan Drew, James Faulkner, Jason Krejza, Rhett Lockyear, Dan Marsh, Tim Paine, John Rogers.

This one could be a tight one. I hope we bat first as we usually suck chasing. We also need to get Hodge out quick if we want a chance. We might even play two spinners and open with Doherty again due to the lack of fast bowlers.

My XI
1.Ed Cowan
2.Tim Paine
3.Michael Dighton
4.Rhett Lockyear
5.George Bailey
6.Dan Marsh

He now decided against playing and needing 'rest'
