opening game of the FR Cup today @ the GABBA

Qld won toss and elected to field first on a bowler's deck

Kasper and Bichel outs for the bulls

Looking out my office window I can tell you it is overcast and humid. Not a great day for a Tasmanian batsman to try and get runs on in October. Expect the Bulls to win this easily with Tassie to be knocked over for 150 odd.

regards,

REB

currently 0/31 in the 9th over

Dighton 9
Birt 18

Pretty good effort from the Tigers so far. They were cleaned up in better conditions than this last year at the Gabba. If they can bat out their 50 overs they could gain an invaluable win but it's a tough ask.

REB

Look for Birt to have a big year

Looks the goods IMO

Dighton out, Caught behind of the bowling of Ash Noffke

1/44 after 11.

Here we go. 3/71.

REB

Irrespective of who wins or loses this game the form from this match should be thrown in the bin
The worst QLD attack Ive ever seen are bamboozling the TAS batsman on a minefield
I have noticed no HILFENHAUS/WRIGHT/BUTTERWORTH playing[where are they]
QLD have no WATSON/HOPES/BICHEL/KASPER/HAYDEN/SYMONDS as well

At 4/91 QLD B are well placed to beat TAS B

A lot rest on the shoulders of future Australian 20/20 batsman BAILEY
and the REB protergy the immaculate PAINE
I hope BAILEY gets going + lets see his magnificent leg side smashes

A score of 200 will be competitive if the pitch is still playing as is
This was a great toss to win

5/154

after 42 overs

Tim Paine on 39

7 for 226 after 50

Young gun Tim Paine scored 73 not out.

Pretty reasonable score.

BAILEY LBW robbed

QLD in a spot of bother @ 6/63 in the 23rd, but it's raining so will probably salvage a draw...

No they won't. They are way behind on Duckworth/Lewis.

I think they only need 15 overs to constitute a game. Tas will win if there is no more play.

15 overs. Righto, yeah I wasn't sure on the minimum, thought maybe 25....learn something new everyday...

Actually i just looked it up and it's 20 overs.

3.3 overs they scrape in...20 right between 15 & 25 so both close !!

Rather academic was how much Tasmania won by under the D/L Method - 88 runs.

The depleted TAS beat the most depleted QLD team for many a long day

REB proterge PAINE 73* was the difference

Turning point of the game AT 4/140
BAILEY LBW to a ball pitched outside off stump 5/140
DIVEN 1st ball plays back absolutely plumb given not out off SIMPSON
DIVEN 41 off 39 including 3 towering 6s off guess who poor SIMPSON
SIMPSON 1/59

Does anyone know why
HILFENHAUS
BUTTERWORTH
WRIGHT
didnt play ? I think WRIGHT is injured ?
