One-Day Tour Game (D/N)
Victorian Bushrangers Vs New Zealand
The MCG, Melbourne
7th December 2006
Back in dressing rooms after the game the kiwis came for a visit. They aren?t the worst bunch of blokes and they told us that they think they are in with a big chance of winning the VB Series after they were beaten 3-0 in the test series. I told them they were dreaming and they handed them a few sheep jokes, which ended in a stunned silence. There was no visit from the selectors though or any quiet taps on the shoulder so who they thought played well will remain a mystery.
Nathan Astle was given the man of the match after what he said was one of the best hit out?s he?d had in a while. He also did an interview for channel 9 telling the public that the kiwis were in town to pick up the win and that they had already booked the hotel for the final with is a 3 game series. It?s back to the normal season for us Bushrangers now with our next match being an ING Cup fixture back here at the MCG against the Queensland Bulls on the 12th, which will probably be our toughest test of the season so far.
