Pura Cup Round 1: Queensland v Tasmania @ Brisbane (Fri-Mon)

[Warwick]

Would have loved another 1 or 2 wickets today, but not to be. We need to get a couple of early ones tomorrow though.

Typical Gabba pitch. It would be great for batting at the moment, but there will be some swing and seam early tomorrow.

 

[likka]

In India maybe?

I forgot he was called into the squad to replace Tait.

 

[RoosterLad]

That was a guess by me anyway as I haven't seen him yet... hopefully he plays next game if we win tonight.

 

[likka]

With the series already decided he should get at least one game.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Typical - we have a team on the ropes and let a partnership build. Looks like it will be a draw

 

[The_Reaper]

he is in India

On another note it was pleasant to see my man Birt in the runs today but a pity he didn't score a ton

 

[dylan101]

geez Noffke is having a fair match. His batting has come along way and he regulary makes runs down the order now. Can't see Tassie getting out of jail here.

 

[Benny_]

3/212

Diva 101*
Bailey 29*

 

[Cousin Jed]

No joy for the Bulls this morning. 2nd new ball just taken and appears to be their last great hope of a forcing a result in this one.

3/245 trailing by 141

 

[Cousin Jed]

Bailey falls in the 3rd last over before lunch.

Tasmania 4/310

Di Venuto 137*
Marsh 13*

Trail by 80.

4 wickets total in the last 4 sessions of play, very un Gabba like. Those who backed the draw can get in the queue to collect.

 

[jko'neal]

Di Venuto, Australia's version of Carl Hooper. Talent to burn and couldn't care less if he got 0 or 150, but damn is he good to watch in full flight.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Should be a draw from here...........we need someone other than Noffke and Simpson to take wickets. This is a day when no Bich or Kaspa really hurts

 

[beez]

You never know, a few quick wickets and things can change.

Qld might end up having to chase 100-150 off 20 overs or so late in the day

 

[happy_eagle]

far out di venuto is a gun

Thats Harsh. I'm sure diva did care when he got dropped from the Aus one day team.

Has been a loyal servant to Tas, and given his all.

Just wasn't given many chances by the selectors...

Is bichel going round again, he is a gun and very fit.

I remember his WC 03 game against the poms 7/20 and hand 20 odd not out at the end best individual performance ever

 

[sherb]

5/457, a lead of 71.

 

[Jolldo87]

And that'll be the game folks, as the umpires and players file off the field. Tasmania's innings finishing at 5/457, leaving the result as a draw

 

[Warwick]

What a waste.

 

[eddiesmith]

Only 5 people tipped a draw? WHat were people thinking?

 

[beez]

Poor Marsh, stranded in the 90's

Poor Marsh, stranded in the 90's

He called the game off with himself in the 90's? Suprising decision
