Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Played like a true allrounder, takes wickets so cant make runs
Then again it must have been a pretty poor pitch for Hopes to get 5 wickets, it seems QLDs batting isnt their biggest concern

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
I think they will take 150 from here, 6/26 now 7/46 and still in a world of hurt.
Sounds as though the ball is swinging a considerable way.

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Vics crumbled to be all out for 104, John Hastings made 49 after coming in when Victoria were a horrendous 7/33. Feldman, Hopes and Swan all took three wickets for Queensland.
In reply, Queensland are 3/68, chasing 251 to win. McKay, Hastings and Pattinson have a wicket each. Lee Carseldine has top score with 19 not out.
90 minutes left in the day's play.

GO THE BULLS!!!!!
The bulls always fight and I have a feeling this game will go down to the wire, Queensland are favourites IMO, they bat all the way down to Cutting and only 180 needed.

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Well, at least the Vics made triple figures
. And by the way, you were off by 46 runs

Nice bit of optimism there
Interesting to see the pitch is apparently slow and crap, the sort of pitch that is often criticised elsewhere, the curators must of got scared off his usual pitch when he saw the way the Victorian batsmen dominated the Ford Ranger Cup clash

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Cuting goes BANG!!!
6 down the ground, Bulls have 3 wickets in hand with 100 odd to get but Hartley and Cutting have been hitting out.
This could get interesting if these guys keep going the tonk, that target will come down quickly.
Eddie is not sitting easy.

50 run stand up between the Cutmiester and Harts in 37 minutes.
Cop that vics, keep it up boys.

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Obviously Simpson was scared by the fact that Victoria love chasing but thats usually on wickets where it doesnt turn to shit
As I said, the pitch wouldnt be easy for batting if QLD could roll Victoria cheaply, the decision to give up the best batting conditions of the game could be the difference in the endLIONS then DAYLIGHT;389867 said:Well, at least the Vics made triple figures

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Queensland bowled first because they needed the outright win, might as well get the 10 wickets first up and give yourself more time to get the 20 wickets.
Bulls to win this one IMO.

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
... Why do you have to make these statements prematurely, Eddie?
Against a sub-standard Qld team, our back-up XI has proven to be even more sub-standard. Whilst our 2nd-string bowlers have kept our noses in front throughout the season, the replacement batsmen have disappointed.
This is another argument for "giving the young talent a go" a-la Klinger, Peake, Dart, etc. Mash, after 27 games has done nothing and averages 25. If he's got anything to offer, he should have showed it by now. Hill on debut can't be criticised too heavily, but for a "batsman" to come in at No.7 & 8 respectively during the match, I would ask "WHY"?
Perhaps a few people are guilty of getting ahead of themselves!?!

Re: Ford Ranger Cup Thread 2009/2010
Good point Sober Symonds!
Not sure how old Evan Gulbis is from Carlton but he has scored plenty in Grade Cricket. Tom Stray is also having another good season.
Fact is Mash is 28 and has had ample oppurtunities. I would prefer to see Hill or Finch go to 3 and then someone like Stray/Gulbis come into the middle/lower order. Carters/Forsyth both keeper/batsmen, have also scored heavily in Grade Cricket and are also quite young.
NOTE: Gulbis is apart of the U23 side so would still be quite young.
