FRC: Final Round

[Collingwood Storm]

The last round of the FRC basically has 2 semi-finals and a dead rubber.

QLD 21
VIC 21
TAS 20
WA 18
NSW 17
SA 17

QLD vs VIC - winner to finish top and host FRC final
WA vs TAS - winner to finish second and make final
SA vs NSW - dead rubber, unless WA def TAS and the winner of this game chases the score inside 25 overs.

The Vics have posted a very competitive score of 325 for the Bulls to chase with Hodge making 136 no and surpassing Jimmy Maher's record in runs made. Love him or hate him, how that bloke didn't play more game for Australia in any form of the game is an absolute joke. Yet another example of how pathetic our selectors are.

Why would you open with Hartley chasing 325??? :lol:

 

[beads6]

CMon Bulls you can do it!! 69 runs off 48 balls with 8 wickets in hand.

 

[beads6]

Bulls lost 3 wickes in 5 balls. The Chris Lynn smokes a 6 and a 4 off his first 2 balls.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Going to be a ripper finish, still some big hitting left for QLD.

 

[beads6]

Victorians win Bulls have collapsed once again...

6 wickets for f**k all, Bulls we going great guns, as i type gramps belted for another 6.

 

[beads6]

26 off 18 balls needed by the blues. Simpson will have to do it on his own though. He just hit Mcgain for 3 sixes in a row

 

[beads6]

26 off 12 1 wicket in hand. Simpson still a chance.

Ronny with a wicket maiden, Simpson good luck son. Edit Simpson out Bull had it and threw it away. Hartley used up 100 balls didn't help either.

 

[beads6]

Bloody Victorians!! Good effort from the Bulls but yes I agree should not have opened with hartley I think Simpson should be opening TBH

What a great run chase from the Bulls and really in the position they got themselves in with 2 wickets down they really should've won. Tassie have being going great guns but with the Vics playing at home i think it'll be yet another title for them.

 

[hineyrulz]

Agreed Beads, Simpson should have opened. They should have treated the chase like a 20/20 game. And he did great up the order in them.

If only it was that simple. We have lost the last 3 FRC finals in a row.

Birt will be a big loss for Tassie though, hopefully the Vics can get Quiney back. I think McGain will hold his spot as he usually does well against Tassie and the Gabba pitch tonight was always going to be hard work, especially against set big hitting lefties.
