2008/09 Ford Ranger Cup Final: Victoria v Queensland @ Melbourne (Sun D/N)

[caboose]

He was missing on Wednesday and it really showed. We need someone to really pull out the game of thier life to win now.

Swan is one to watch with the ball, hopefully.

It's not completely out of the realms of possibility that Symonds might actually pull something out of his you know where today as well. It's just the sort of situation where he'll probably stand up after numerous stuff-ups and failures, and the media will then go crazy for the next week or so demanding he be sent to South Africa immediately.

Apparently Symonds is playing as a specialist batsman, unless things have changed.

Well his bowling hasn't been threatening anyone. As I said, if he gets above 5 runs, that would be an achievement. HE is capable of pulling out a big innings but it won't happen today - it hasn't happened when he needed it to.

 

[Cleavy]

Qld won the toss and will bat first, according to cricinfo

 

[alfy!]

Any video streams?

 

[Cleavy]

Harwood passed fit, Holland in for Hastings.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Queensland batting.

Harwood is bowling QUICK!

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Broad............Gaaawwwnnn, plumb LBW to Harwood.

Qld 1 - 10 in the 3rd over.

Carseldine in.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Hopes clean bowled Harwood.

Bulls, 2 for 19

Symonds and Carseldine at the crease.

 

[alfy!]

Nice strong start by the Vics.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Harwood is bowling superbly, a Symonds fend off from a short ball just fell short of slip.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

All over already.

 

[Cleavy]

That was close. Symonds nearly out.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Carseldine run out.

Qld 3 - 24 in the 11th over.

Symonds is struggling.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Pathetic - Carseldine out for a run that wasn't there.

I give up. Anything over 125 would be an achievement. Give the Vics the Cup now and get it over and done with.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

GAAAAWWWWNNN!

Reardon caught at slip by White off Wright.

Qld 4 - 28

 

[JUBJUB]

Where's lion4life now?

 

[happy_eagle]

Vics well on top
Time for Symonds to show why he was rated one of the best one day players in the world

 

[ManWithNoName]

Andrew Symonds. Elle Oh Elle.

 

[mushda]

Wow, was going to go for the second session but there might be no point now!

 

[Portmanteau]

He's a proud Queenslander, Andrew Symonds.

 

[Mario the Lothario]

He's a proud Queenslander, Andrew Symonds.

.......that just holed out to mid on caught Hodge, bowled Wright.

Qld 5 - 56 in the 17th over.

The fat lady is warming up.

 

[ubolt]

Symonds is a fool!

Throwing his wicket away.

56/5 at drinks now.

 

[Cousin Jed]

There's no in between with Qld. Good or absolutely horrendous.

Had a feeling the absolutely horrendous would turn up today.

Feels like the Big Bash all over where Victoria ripped teams apart in the opening few overs. Oh well another year another FRC title for the Vics
