Ford Ranger Cup Final - Tas v Vic

[aussies1st]

A very solid start by Tassie.

Tasmania 109/0 (23.3 ov)

Tassie just need Hodge and they should take it assuming they get around 280.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

It takes a good side to lose 4 finals, 4 years in a row. The Buffalo Bills of cricket.

2/170 off 35 overs, luckily got Bailey cheaply straight after Dighton fell but Paine and Cowan are cruising along

 

[aussies1st]

I heard Bailey decision was a shocker, off the arm not the bat.

Tassie will want at least 280 from here so lets see what they have got.

Yeah it was, although apparently no Australian bowler outside of Victoria has ever appealled for a caught behind that the batsman didnt hit

It was funny seeing Bailey whingeing that they didnt go upstairs to check the catch, hate to tell him but the 3rd umpire cant rule on whether he hit it ot not

 

[IanG]

Tasmania 6 for 304 (50 Overs)
Tim Paine 100(118)
Michael Dighton 80(91)
Ed Cowan 61 (55)
Andrew McDonald 3 for 60 (10 Overs)

 

[aussies1st]

Nicely done Paine, and not bad by Cowan.

 

[Matt23]

Go Tassie

 

[Bazal]

Dighton dominating the Vics with bat and ball, what a rubbish bunch of cricketers...

 

[aussies1st]

133/4 pretty much over.

Raining now with the Victorians miles behind, 4 from 4 coming up :lol:

Cow-tipping is more likely than cars
