  • last month
Transcript
00:00:00Good morning everybody and welcome to Melbourne for the Sheffield Shield Final, it is the
00:00:09Victorian Bushrangers hosting the Queensland Bulls live and exclusive on Fox Sports from
00:00:14the MCG.
00:00:15It is perfect conditions here for cricket, clear skies, a maximum temperature of 31 degrees.
00:00:20Well this is it for the domestic players, this is the biggest moment of the year to
00:00:27win the Sheffield Shield Final.
00:00:29Rob Quiney getting the opportunity to open, Chris Rogers, broken finger, did not allow
00:00:35him to play today and the left-hander got a big hundred against Tasmania a couple of
00:00:40games ago but has found runs pretty hard to find.
00:00:45An average of just under 30 and the best that was a couple of games ago against Tasmania
00:00:51of 153.
00:00:52But a great opportunity for Rob Quiney and he'll be joined at the other end by his Sankilda
00:00:58teammate, or ex-Sankilda teammate, now playing for Frankston Peninsula, the captain down
00:01:04there Nick Jewell, who's been a wonderful player over the last four or five years averaging
00:01:0937, best of 188 and has been a very consistent scorer in Shield Finals over the years.
00:01:19And for Queensland, experienced swing bowler Chris Swann, joined here with Jimmy Marr,
00:01:24he has been in outstanding form with bat and ball.
00:01:27Yes, good morning Damien Fleming and good morning to all our viewers.
00:01:30Yes, Chris Swann to commence proceedings for Victoria, has been going sensationally well
00:01:35as you said for Queensland in recent times and for the season, 28 wickets at 21.
00:01:40So he's been very good up front with the new prune and hopefully today he can get some
00:01:45early inroads against the Victorians.
00:01:47All set to go in the Shield Final.
00:01:51Right on the money straight away Chris Swann.
00:01:56And they're the first runs for Rob Quiney, off the mark, always a good feeling Jimmy.
00:02:00Fantastic, and I reckon he got off the mark a few times like that as most left handers
00:02:05do, the shaping ball coming back in.
00:02:07Oh, a cut shot for Nick Jewell, very confident shot, bit of class there, picks up his first
00:02:13boundary.
00:02:15Good shot from Nick Jewell, but probably got the treatment it deserved, cutting just a
00:02:20little bit short, a little bit wide, and Jewell pounced on it pretty quickly.
00:02:24There's a half volley, Quiney gets it through the covers, should run all the way for four,
00:02:31it does.
00:02:36Edge and gone, there's the first one, Chris Swann gets the job done, that little outswing
00:02:41and Rob Quiney goes, Chris Harsik takes the catch.
00:02:45Great piece of bowling from Chris Swann, he's been looking for that outside edge of Rob
00:02:49Quiney's all morning, he's been testing him, he's been nibbling away, Quiney, healthy edge
00:02:58and Chris Hartley, like hitting it to a sugar bag, all hearts, all over it like a cheap
00:03:03suit.
00:03:04The Queens then get their first wicket, which is a good start for them, one for 24 Victoria,
00:03:09and that little bit of pressure creeps into this five day game, Junior, if they can really,
00:03:14really start well to the next few batsmen, Queensland in a good position.
00:03:17Yeah, Rob Quiney, disappointed, following the ball, he goes for 15, it's one for 24.
00:03:23Aaron Finch coming in at number three for the Bushrangers and he's got a challenge here,
00:03:28Chris Swann is bowling very well, getting that ball just to swing around and nip off
00:03:31the pitch.
00:03:34Averaging 37, near enough, here's his first one.
00:03:39That's a good area there, good length, that's what I like about Chris Swann, he's committing
00:03:42the batsmen to that area, just where the edge could come.
00:03:47Oh, that's a lovely shot from Aaron Finch, cover drive for four, good response.
00:03:52That's a beautiful shot, quick to the pitch of the ball, genuine half volley, probably
00:03:56not James Hope's best ball he's ever bowled, but he still had to dispatch it and he did
00:04:00so with great ease.
00:04:04Yeah, it's probably a fraction too full, I don't mind that.
00:04:09Oh, there it is, another wicket.
00:04:13Beautiful piece of bowling from Chris Swann.
00:04:17That's just reward, that's magnificent bowling, he's been there or thereabouts all day, getting
00:04:21the ball to nip back, Nick Jewell has not looked comfortable from ball one and there's
00:04:24been a couple of near misses, this has happened a few times, he's played the ball, he's chopped
00:04:28it on, I'm not sure he's got it in so good, but that's excellent bowling by Chris Swann
00:04:32and you can see the enjoyment on all the guys' faces because he thoroughly deserves that.
00:04:37They've been in the zone, the Queenslanders, they have looked good.
00:04:42The wicket has been really unresponsive, but so far so good.
00:04:47Two down, Nick Jewell goes for seven, two for 33.
00:04:52David Hussey, the new batsman for the Bushrangers, clocking up 5,000 runs and a good average
00:04:57of 45, nearly 800 runs this season in Sheffield Shield cricket.
00:05:05And he comes in at a testing time for the Bushrangers because Chris Swann has got two
00:05:13for nine.
00:05:15This is the big wicket for the Bulls, if they get him, they're right into the middle order
00:05:19here.
00:05:23That's an excellent start, Dave Hussey, not sure whether the play ends up leaving, it's
00:05:27a good leave in the end.
00:05:29And that's through and off the mark for Hussey.
00:05:32A quick outfield here at the MCG and he's opened his account at the boundary.
00:05:37That's a very nice stroke, getting his foot to the pitch of the ball.
00:05:41It's in the air and through the gap.
00:05:44It was upishly and that is one thing about Hussey, but also Aaron Finch, they like to
00:05:51be aggressive outside the off stump.
00:05:53And that's a beautiful delivery, great delivery.
00:05:56Hussey walks, third wicket down now for the Bushrangers and an absolute cracking delivery
00:06:02from James Hopes.
00:06:04And a good catch too from Chris Simpson, the first zip going to his left-handed side, Chris
00:06:08Harding let it go.
00:06:10But this is an encouraging sign for the Bulls, once again just hitting the seam, squared
00:06:14up David Hussey.
00:06:15And a simple catch.
00:06:17And the Bushrangers now, three down.
00:06:20Chris Simpson, how easy does he take the ball in the slips, so disappointed David Hussey
00:06:25on his way for eight.
00:06:26The Bushrangers, three for 46.
00:06:30Cameron Martin, skipper for the Bushrangers, strolls to the crease in the Sheffield Shield
00:06:33final.
00:06:34This team at three for 46.
00:06:37And it's in the air.
00:06:39Cameron Martin, skipper for the Bushrangers, strolls to the crease in the Sheffield Shield
00:06:43final.
00:06:44This team at three for 46, averaging 35.
00:06:47That's his career.
00:06:50He's been an exciting international cricketer for Australia in the one-day series in New
00:06:55Zealand.
00:06:56All of a sudden now he's back playing a five-day game at the MCG.
00:07:00He only played four Sheffield Shield games this season.
00:07:05And his highest score was an 82 not out.
00:07:09This will be something a little bit different coming off a one-day international series.
00:07:15James Hobbes is getting the ball in the right area.
00:07:18Three slips a gully.
00:07:21And starts up with a nice little hello into the over.
00:07:26It's a good one from Hobbes.
00:07:27Three for 46.
00:07:31That's a half-oily and it got what it deserved down the ground.
00:07:34Still wasn't a bad over though.
00:07:38At the moment, the Bulls are in charge.
00:07:41There's an edge and out.
00:07:43Make that four for 60.
00:07:44That's a big one.
00:07:45Luke Feldman, he's got Aaron Finch who's looked in good touch.
00:07:49Oh, amazing.
00:07:50Now Feldman's joined the party.
00:07:52So the Bulls, we've talked so much about their fast bowling line-up that's got them into
00:07:57this final.
00:07:58Swan cutting and Hobbes.
00:08:00Swan cutting and Hobbes.
00:08:01But now Feldman, who's had an amazing debut season, gets the big wicket of Aaron Finch,
00:08:08the number three.
00:08:09Lynn, he'll take it.
00:08:10What an easy one to get as well.
00:08:12So the big policeman gets his first one in a Shield final.
00:08:20And Aaron Finch head down.
00:08:21He's on his way for 26.
00:08:23The Bushrangers in real trouble at four for 60.
00:08:27Andrew McDonald takes centre.
00:08:28He wouldn't have been thinking of taking centre at 4 to 11 this morning when the Bushrangers
00:08:33won the toss till after lunch.
00:08:34But he's in early here.
00:08:358 and over's gone.
00:08:36And they're four down.
00:08:39And they're in some trouble here, the Bushrangers.
00:08:41They need a partnership.
00:08:44And the Bulls just doing enough.
00:08:45There's enough there.
00:08:47Enough swing and a bit of pace and bounce.
00:08:49Some seam.
00:08:51Luke Feldman.
00:08:54And there's an edge and gone.
00:08:56Five for 60.
00:08:57Luke Feldman's on a hat-trick.
00:08:59And well bowled too.
00:09:00He got it up there.
00:09:01He was nice and full.
00:09:02He enticed McDonald into the cover drive.
00:09:05Five wickets down in the first session of the Shield final.
00:09:09Amazing stuff from the Bulls.
00:09:12Cameron White winning the toss for the Bushrangers.
00:09:14Deciding to back.
00:09:16And it's been good bowling.
00:09:18You see McDonald, first ball.
00:09:19You want to force him to getting caught on the crease.
00:09:22Chris Simpson, doesn't he love him in the slips there.
00:09:26So amazing start to this Shield final.
00:09:29Andrew McDonald out.
00:09:30First ball.
00:09:31Bushrangers five for 60.
00:09:37And what's he going to do for the hat-trick ball?
00:09:40Probably not too much different from what he did to McDonald.
00:09:44Well the length anyway.
00:09:45The line will have to adjust.
00:09:46Matthew Way, the left-hander, who's had a great two years.
00:09:50What a promising player at 22 years of age.
00:09:52But Junior coming in on a hat-trick.
00:09:55First session of the Shield final.
00:09:58He would have been looking forward to a relaxing day for at least half the day anyway.
00:10:02But here he is facing a hat-trick.
00:10:03What have we got?
00:10:04Three slips, a gully, backward point, a short, square cover.
00:10:10Never been a hat-trick in a Shield final.
00:10:12Will this be the one?
00:10:13You've got to throw it in.
00:10:14Yeah, that's two legs there.
00:10:15A short leg day as well.
00:10:17He's just getting the ball to shape a bit.
00:10:20Matthew Way just taking his time here.
00:10:23Getting used to the light.
00:10:24A couple of deep breaths.
00:10:27And four balls coming this over.
00:10:29Hat-trick ball, here it comes.
00:10:36Got to make him play.
00:10:39Say he'll be full.
00:10:44And full and straight.
00:10:45Matthew Way survives.
00:10:48In the air, but four.
00:10:51Cameron White threw the bat at it and got a good result.
00:11:01That's a lovely shot from Cameron White.
00:11:04Straight down the ground.
00:11:06Swann pitched it up, enticed him to drive and Cameron White pounced on it.
00:11:11And hit it down the ground for a very good boundary for the Victorian Bushrangers.
00:11:18Oh, there you go.
00:11:19Absolute beauty there from Ben Cutting.
00:11:22Now he joins his FBC teammates and he's joined the Wicket Tally group.
00:11:27That's an absolute belt at the start.
00:11:29Went a little bit stiff, had a big lunge, sort of got to the top of his mark.
00:11:32And he's run in and bowled an absolute peach.
00:11:34Cameron White, it's just done him top of off.
00:11:38You can see the little cherry on the top of the stumps there.
00:11:40It doesn't get any better than that and that's the best feeling.
00:11:42It's probably the best thing for his cricket today.
00:11:46Yep, the doorway to departure.
00:11:47You don't want the batsman too comfortable on the front or back foot.
00:11:50And the aim is to always hit the top of off stump.
00:11:53Brilliant stuff from Cutting.
00:11:54White out for 10.
00:11:55Bushrangers in trouble, 6 for 75.
00:11:59And the big duke comes out to bat.
00:12:01John Hastings has had a wonderful season.
00:12:03The only player to be chosen in all three formats in the team of the year.
00:12:08Big Bash, Ford Ranger Cup and the Sheffield Shield.
00:12:12Averaging in the mid-30s with the bat.
00:12:15Got 30-odd wickets as well.
00:12:17What a big job he's got to do now, Clark.
00:12:20Well, a lot of pressure on him now.
00:12:21He needs to put a partnership together here with Matthew Wade
00:12:24and try and get the Victorians back on track.
00:12:28Oh, that's so close as well.
00:12:31A raw smile from Ben Cunning, the bowler.
00:12:34Johnny Hastings, a couple of big deep breaths.
00:12:39As we see Wade drive one down the ground, it's a lovely shot.
00:12:43Slightly over pitched by Tholman, which is not a bad thing on this wicket.
00:12:46But Matthew Wade pouncing and jumping all over it
00:12:50and smashing it away to the mid-off boundary.
00:12:54Oh, was that in the air?
00:12:57It looked like it.
00:12:59It went high to Chris Lynn.
00:13:02Scooped out by Johnny Hastings and that is a definite drop catch.
00:13:08Yes, BJ, an opportunity for the Bulls.
00:13:10Chris Lynn jumping up in the air.
00:13:12He got to it.
00:13:14Fantastic fieldsman.
00:13:16Normally would have swallowed that just within his reach.
00:13:20Hastings would have been a big wicket.
00:13:22Opportunity gone for the Bulls.
00:13:27Oh, brilliant cover drive.
00:13:29Matty Wade.
00:13:31Stewie Lawley, appreciate that one.
00:13:34Put the Victorian fans up.
00:13:36And he is a very, very resourceful player, Matthew Wade.
00:13:42Swept into the deep, that's a boundary.
00:13:47Might have even gone all the way, it has.
00:13:51Well struck, that's just come from nowhere from John Hastings.
00:13:54We know what a massive hitter he is of the cricket ball,
00:13:57but he's had to play a different innings.
00:13:59More subdued today and build the partnership.
00:14:02That is done.
00:14:04And hasn't bothered hitting it along the ground.
00:14:07That's too boring, I'll go all the way.
00:14:11So, first boundary for Johnny Hastings.
00:14:13He's on to 24.
00:14:18And again, down the wicket and over the wide of mid-arm.
00:14:22I reckon that's carried all the way.
00:14:27Easy as you like, BJ.
00:14:30Before this over, he had to hit a boundary.
00:14:33He's hit two sixes in five balls.
00:14:38So he's a big man, he doesn't have to get in the middle either to go all the way.
00:14:41He's on to 30.
00:14:45And this time Wade goes after Simpson, hits it well.
00:14:48Hits it hard, hits it long, it's gone for six.
00:14:51That's a tremendous shot.
00:14:52Down the wicket, not much turn, hit through the line of the ball
00:14:55and that's gone probably to the longest boundary on the field for six.
00:14:59Pound for pound, he's one of the strongest hitters in Australian cricket
00:15:02along with David Warner.
00:15:03Haven't seen much of it today, but this time used his feet well
00:15:07and beautifully timed.
00:15:08Didn't try to over-hit it, but it hit the middle.
00:15:16He's a powerful man, Johnny Hastings.
00:15:19Hits him and they stay here.
00:15:21Good use of the feet.
00:15:25Goes again, this one's in the air and it's out.
00:15:28So the young leg spinner has picked up the big wicket of Johnny Hastings
00:15:32and have a look, pure delight for the youngster
00:15:35and for Jimmy Maher as well.
00:15:37Yes, Flemming, well bowled Cameron Boyce.
00:15:39What a fantastic bit of bowling.
00:15:40He enticed John Hastings in playing that shot.
00:15:43It was a good field placing.
00:15:44Simpson dangled the carrot, he had him halfway back to the fence
00:15:47and he's walking away from the bowler, rather than in with the bowler
00:15:52and James Hoakes takes a comfortable catch there at three quarters
00:15:55to the boundary, Flemm.
00:15:56But well done Cameron Boyce.
00:15:57He wasn't afraid to give the ball some air even after being smacked down
00:16:00over his head before the ball before.
00:16:03Partnership of 86 has come to an end and Victoria now seven for 161.
00:16:09And the new batsman for the Victorian Bushrangers, Damian Wright,
00:16:12the former Tasmanian all-rounder.
00:16:14He'd love me saying that, righty.
00:16:16And he comes to the crease after the dismissal of John Hastings.
00:16:2078 matches, pretty good average with the bat.
00:16:23A lot of people wouldn't know that it was that high,
00:16:24but it's a pretty good effort for a number nine.
00:16:26Well, you'd call him an all-rounder.
00:16:27I'm assuming you knew that, the average in the mid-20s.
00:16:30Well, I did.
00:16:31First-class hundred.
00:16:36What a great feeling for young boys.
00:16:38He got hit back over his head and he threw it up again
00:16:41and he got himself a big reward, the wicket of John Hastings.
00:16:51He's winding up, Damian Wright, he'll pick up his first boundary.
00:16:56Continuing that dangerous tag.
00:16:58So seven for 170, Bushrangers.
00:17:03It's into the deep and that has gone a long way over the right.
00:17:10I thought it was a matter of time for Damian Wright,
00:17:12middle one out on the left side.
00:17:17Starting to hurt this partnership now.
00:17:20The tailenders have done well, Hastings in particular,
00:17:23and now Damian Wright, the partnership is 35.
00:17:27Don't want to worry about the new ball, that's a long way away.
00:17:34Oh, it's there to be hit and it's put away.
00:17:36Bad ball.
00:17:37Damian Wright cashes in.
00:17:39So 200 up for Victoria.
00:17:47And that's a good shot.
00:17:49Great shot.
00:17:50Will that go all the way?
00:17:51Flate and hard for six.
00:17:53End of the over, seven for 211.
00:18:00It goes and it's high, but I'd say it'll go all the way and it will.
00:18:04So Damian Wright cashing in.
00:18:06Six over, mid-on.
00:18:07Good shot.
00:18:10He's in the tail-ending category of batting.
00:18:13Look, he's not a genuine tail-ender,
00:18:14but he bats I think the way all tail-enders should bat.
00:18:16Get on with the game.
00:18:17Hit the ball to the fence.
00:18:18If you get a few, great.
00:18:19If you get out, well, the game keeps moving forward.
00:18:21And back in the old days, junior, when you played,
00:18:23I'd imagine it was the same sort of thing.
00:18:27Tail-enders just took it on.
00:18:29Yeah, that was the name of the game, wasn't it?
00:18:30Go out there and play a few shots, unorthodox.
00:18:38He's taken on mid-on.
00:18:39He's hit it in the gut well, really well.
00:18:42Ten rows back.
00:18:44That's a massive hit.
00:18:45He's got down the pitch to the ball and he's whacked it over the fence.
00:18:48He's starting to strike the ball better and better.
00:18:50And he was about 20 off 100 balls.
00:18:52And if you look at his score now, he's moving along nicely.
00:18:55And he's 72 off 175.
00:18:57And he's really taking the game to the Queenslanders.
00:19:02Whacked over the top.
00:19:06And one bounce.
00:19:08The boundary.
00:19:12There it is, the breakthrough.
00:19:14And it's with the old ball.
00:19:17Beautiful piece of bowling from Chris Swan.
00:19:19That's his third.
00:19:20And it is a crucial one that breaks this partnership of 84.
00:19:24That's a quality piece of bowling.
00:19:25Damien Wright looking to get on with it.
00:19:27He's probably looking for the shorter one.
00:19:29He looks dejected as he walks off.
00:19:30And so he should be.
00:19:31But great bowling by Swan.
00:19:33Pitches the ball up.
00:19:35Little flick off the pad.
00:19:36Crashing into the stumps.
00:19:38And the balls, they needed that.
00:19:39They were looking for something special.
00:19:40And Chris Swan's delivered.
00:19:4442 from him.
00:19:468 for 245.
00:19:50Darren Pattinson, new batsman for the Bushrangers.
00:19:53He's probably had the pads on a while.
00:19:57Finally makes his way out the middle.
00:19:59Good partnership between Wade and Damien Wright.
00:20:0284 from 99.
00:20:06As we get towards the end of day one.
00:20:11Swan has been the man.
00:20:133 for 33 now.
00:20:16Over the top.
00:20:17Boundary.
00:20:18That's a first boundary.
00:20:19It's either going to hurt Queensland or they're going to get away with it.
00:20:23I'd be having a third man deep point, cover back.
00:20:27You don't need to give away easy runs.
00:20:31That's a boundary.
00:20:35Beautiful time.
00:20:42It's down the ground.
00:20:44Down a boundary.
00:20:49That's nearly the shot of the day, BJ, by the number 10.
00:20:54Chris Swan, they don't come back.
00:20:56Look at that.
00:20:58And now he got it through mid-on.
00:21:00Outside off stump, looked like it was going mid-off.
00:21:03And just rolled the wrist.
00:21:04Just crunched it.
00:21:12It's Pattinson on the back foot.
00:21:13Swan just errs slightly.
00:21:16A little bit wide of off stump.
00:21:18Pattinson's crunched it to the backward point boundary before.
00:21:23Oh, it's another boundary.
00:21:26He bowled wide of the crease.
00:21:28He lured Pattinson into the stroke.
00:21:32And you can see Carlson on in the back.
00:21:34He knows that that was well bowled, but it cost him four.
00:21:41As he just gets caught at mid-off.
00:21:46Oh, that is unbelievable.
00:21:48That's just come out of the blue for Matthew Waight,
00:21:51who's batted for three and a half hours,
00:21:54battled hard on the verge of his first homer for the year,
00:21:59more significantly in the short final,
00:22:01and he's locked it under Ben Cutting.
00:22:04I think it's a fantastic idea.
00:22:05They persisted around the wicket for them.
00:22:08No doubt about it.
00:22:09Hopes has just pitched it up.
00:22:11It looked like he was in two minds whether to wait for it or not.
00:22:15And Cutting's come in from mid-off and taken a very good catch,
00:22:19much to the delight of the Queenslanders.
00:22:22They really needed that wicket.
00:22:24Really important to try and mop up this Victorian tale tonight.
00:22:26A fantastic inning by Matthew Waight.
00:22:28He's out caught Cutting at the Bowling of Hopes for 96.
00:22:33And Bryce McGann, the new batsman for the Victorian Bushrangers.
00:22:38They're now nine for 285,
00:22:42with eight balls left in the match in the day.
00:22:48Victorian Bushrangers wish there was eight balls left in the match.
00:22:52And James Hopes looking to wrap up,
00:23:02proceeding pretty quickly for the balls.
00:23:06Very watchful, Bryce McGann.
00:23:10It was all Queensland early,
00:23:12and Victoria fought back through Waight, Hastings and Wright.
00:23:20McGann negates the last ball.
00:23:22Victoria finish day one of the Sheffield Shield final MCG,
00:23:26nine for 286.
00:23:38Victoria nine for 286,
00:23:42starting today.
00:23:44And to open the attack for the balls,
00:23:46will be Ben Cutting.
00:23:48A lot of pace yesterday.
00:23:51Bowled in very good areas.
00:23:53Two for, sorry, just the one wicket yesterday,
00:23:56one for 48 from his 17 overs.
00:23:59And Queensland will be looking to wrap this up very quickly this morning
00:24:03and get out there and start batting on what Stuart Clarke
00:24:06quite rightly described this morning as a fantastic cricket pitch.
00:24:12Ben Cutting ready to bowl the first ball of day two.
00:24:32Cut shot.
00:24:33Cracking shot from Pattinson.
00:24:35It picks up his fourth boundary.
00:24:39He's looking better and better.
00:24:40Tremendous shot.
00:24:41He's hit that in front of point.
00:24:43He's rocked back.
00:24:45Full flow of the bat.
00:24:47I think from my mind Simpson might need to get Cutting out of the attack here
00:24:50and maybe get hopes.
00:24:52Or even Feldman.
00:24:54I've got to say I'm a big fan of Feldman.
00:24:56I watched him warm up this morning.
00:24:57He's a big bustling bowler.
00:24:58Hits the wicket nice and hard.
00:25:00Gave Joey Dawes all sorts of problems with the glove
00:25:03earlier this morning in warm up.
00:25:05I think he'd probably do the same to the batters.
00:25:11Oh, he's pulling now.
00:25:13And what a great catch.
00:25:15So the bouncer has worked.
00:25:17Didn't see enough of him obviously.
00:25:20Well, bad luck there for Darren Pattinson.
00:25:23And Townsend takes a great catch.
00:25:25And that's the end of the innings.
00:25:27Well, what would I know?
00:25:29The bouncer has worked.
00:25:30Tremendous catch.
00:25:32He's pulled the pull shot out.
00:25:33Gone quickly diving to his right.
00:25:37Townsend takes a super catch and the innings is over.
00:25:44All out for 305.
00:25:46I think Victoria would be pretty happy with that
00:25:48after being 6 for 70.
00:25:50And we look at the Bushrangers here.
00:25:52They're in trouble early.
00:25:53Finches 26 off 42.
00:25:55The pick of the top order batsmen.
00:25:57And that was the Matthew Wade show.
00:25:5996 off 207.
00:26:00Great support from Hastings and Wright.
00:26:02They've gone into the 40s.
00:26:04Good little knock cameo from Darren Pattinson.
00:26:06Out for 25 and Bryce McGann not out for 7.
00:26:08Always good for the batting average.
00:26:10As they've done all year, the Victorian Bushrangers,
00:26:12the lower half when the top order have been in trouble,
00:26:15have got them out of it.
00:26:16And once again, full credit to Matthew Wade.
00:26:18I think he really steadied the innings.
00:26:20And they've posted a decent total
00:26:21and something for their bowlers to bowl in.
00:26:27As far as the bowling goes,
00:26:28Chris Swann obviously bowled well yesterday early on
00:26:30taking two early wickets.
00:26:32Cutting tactics questionable,
00:26:34but he got the reward in the end,
00:26:35removing the 10th wicket.
00:26:37James Hopes, Luke Feldman, Chris Simpson,
00:26:40probably under bowled and probably didn't bowl his best.
00:26:42And Boyce, well, a good young kid coming through,
00:26:45bowling leg breaks.
00:26:47The more of those we see in domestic first class cricket,
00:26:49the better for Australian cricket.
00:26:52Opening the batting for the Queenslanders.
00:26:57Now Ryan Broad.
00:27:00Averaging 35 in his career.
00:27:03His best, 129.
00:27:06If he could get that in a final,
00:27:08he would be very happy.
00:27:09They need to get off to a good start,
00:27:11the Queenslanders.
00:27:13It's imperative they get off to a good start.
00:27:15The pressure's on them here.
00:27:19They've bowled well,
00:27:20probably got a few many more than they would have liked,
00:27:23but if they bat well here,
00:27:25Queensland can set the game up.
00:27:27Let's play.
00:27:30Damien River, the new ball for the Bushrangers
00:27:33from the members in at the MCG.
00:27:36A little bit of swing and an extra piece of bounce.
00:27:40Overcast conditions here in Melbourne this morning
00:27:43will benefit the bowlers.
00:27:48That's it.
00:27:49First one down for the Bulls.
00:27:51It looked like it was a matter of time,
00:27:53and Pattinson's done it.
00:27:55Yeah, he's bowling neck and crop.
00:27:58Perfect length and good shape back.
00:28:00The feet went nowhere for Townsend.
00:28:02He was caught on the crease and straight through him,
00:28:05and that tentative start has cost the Bulls their first wicket.
00:28:11You can see that caught on the crease.
00:28:14Top of middle stump, good bowling by Pattinson.
00:28:16Good new ball bowling, making the batsmen play.
00:28:19Bowling at the stumps, good length.
00:28:22The Bushrangers are on their way.
00:28:24It's the end of Townsend.
00:28:25He goes for one.
00:28:26It's one for three.
00:28:28Lee Castellan, new batsman for the Queensland Bulls.
00:28:32He has had a very good season in all forms of cricket.
00:28:38MCG doesn't have a flash record.
00:28:44517 runs at 34.
00:28:47He's had an OK season.
00:28:50He's going to need it all today.
00:28:56There's just enough swing there, isn't there,
00:28:58for both bowlers to have the batsmen in two minds,
00:29:02whether they let the ball go, play at it.
00:29:06And there's a bit of zip there too.
00:29:11He's away. He'll be happy.
00:29:16That's what you like first up.
00:29:17There's a batsman, one on the hip, just to get up the other end.
00:29:21Oh, you can just see that there.
00:29:23It's a boundary.
00:29:25That won't please Darren Pattinson.
00:29:32Here's David Wright to Castellan.
00:29:34That's a nice shot.
00:29:37Confident shot there from Lee Castellan.
00:29:40That's what they need to do, the Bulls, and a boundary.
00:29:44That's a great start by Castellan.
00:29:46Single off the first ball off his hip,
00:29:47and then the cover drive for four.
00:29:50Edge.
00:29:52Take it.
00:29:54Beautiful catch.
00:29:57I think it's just underneath the ball,
00:29:59and that is a massive wicket for the Bushrangers.
00:30:05Well, I said he deserved a wicket.
00:30:06He's been bowling beautifully,
00:30:08and he's got that right in that perfect area.
00:30:11Lee Castellan didn't do much wrong.
00:30:13Played forward.
00:30:14Edged.
00:30:15It went low.
00:30:16Sharp chance.
00:30:17Andrew McDonald, he took it clean as a whistle,
00:30:20and that's a big wicket.
00:30:21Lee Castellan, he's a good player.
00:30:23Look at Damien Wright, the old warrior, doing the business.
00:30:2834th of the season for Damien Wright.
00:30:30Lee Castellan goes.
00:30:31Queensland in trouble, 2 for 14.
00:30:35Chris Lynn, the 19-year-old, off the back of 100,
00:30:38comes into the Shield final with his team.
00:30:40Darren Pattinson.
00:30:42He's bowling well, as is Damien Wright.
00:30:48Using this new ball beautifully.
00:30:50That's the first bad ball, really, that Damien Wright's bowled,
00:30:53and Lynn's put it away.
00:30:54He's off the mark.
00:30:56Bit of a slash outside the off sum there from Chris Lynn,
00:30:59to relieve a few of the nerves.
00:31:06Another edge, another boundary.
00:31:08It's been some good bowling from the Bushrangers,
00:31:10and they've got to get a win out of it.
00:31:12They've got to get a win out of it.
00:31:16It's a good game.
00:31:17They've got a bit of a lead in the first half,
00:31:19and they're going to try and catch up.
00:31:21It's a bit of a slow game.
00:31:22It's been some good bowling from the Bushrangers.
00:31:32Oh!
00:31:34That was up in the air through Gully and it's another boundary, the second one of the over.
00:31:38Boundary.
00:31:4112 off this over so far, it's been a good one.
00:31:46And that's through. Another boundary.
00:31:48Four boundaries, one of them bars.
00:31:51But it's a good over. 2 for 52.
00:31:59Oh, that will be annoying.
00:32:01That is the second boundary down there in two overs.
00:32:12That's through. And a boundary.
00:32:15And a boundary.
00:32:17Pitched it up.
00:32:19And...
00:32:22Lynn put it away.
00:32:29Oh, shouts. Confident give it.
00:32:33Breakthrough. Andrew McDonald's done it.
00:32:36Chris Lynn on his way.
00:32:38On his way.
00:32:44It was a good shout from the Bushrangers.
00:32:49Andrew McDonald was very confident.
00:32:55And it came back.
00:32:58Not sure. The height was fine.
00:33:01Andrew McDonald knows it.
00:33:04Height was fine, BJ, but I think that's just angling down the leg side of it, isn't it?
00:33:08No.
00:33:10Am I looking through my own eyes or...
00:33:12I think that's missing leg stump.
00:33:153 for 73.
00:33:18James Hobes to the crease.
00:33:24And he comes in at a time where the Bulls
00:33:27slowed down the run rate since the lunch break.
00:33:31And this is the shout.
00:33:36I reckon there's enough doubt in that, BJ, for mine.
00:33:40Pitched in line. Just nipped a little bit off the seam.
00:33:43Lynn, certainly no question about the height.
00:33:52I don't mind that.
00:33:53Personally, I don't mind them giving that out.
00:33:56As long as they're consistent, I reckon it would have hit leg stump.
00:33:59Shock me, you're a bowler, BJ. Shock me.
00:34:05New batsman James Hobes to the crease of the Bulls
00:34:07to join Ryan Broad, who's playing a gutsy innings out there.
00:34:22Pattinson's fifth over in this spell.
00:34:26That's through.
00:34:27That's a boundary.
00:34:29Off the mark for James Hobes.
00:34:32Delightful shot from James Hobes.
00:34:38That's through. Good shot from James Hobes.
00:34:40That'll be a boundary.
00:34:41His timing has been superb so far.
00:34:44That's his second boundary.
00:34:46Yeah, great shot from James Hobes.
00:34:48As I said earlier, he won't die wandering.
00:34:50Likes to get on with it.
00:34:54And again.
00:34:56That's timed really well.
00:34:58That's a delightful shot from James Hobes.
00:35:01He's waited that and he's crunched that quarter-square leg.
00:35:04A fantastic shot.
00:35:11James Hobes, four more.
00:35:13How good's he seeing him?
00:35:15He's hit four fours in 13 deliveries.
00:35:19Yeah, very dangerous player, James Hobes.
00:35:22There it is. Edged and gone.
00:35:25David Hussey.
00:35:26Not sure if that was a sly ball or not.
00:35:28But he's gone.
00:35:30James Hobes chasing a half-volley.
00:35:32And David Hussey, he doesn't drop too many.
00:35:39Yes, you see here.
00:35:40Macdonald throwing the ball up there.
00:35:42That was probably there to hit.
00:35:43But Hobes' front foot nowhere near the ball.
00:35:45Flayed away at it.
00:35:46Probably tried to hit it a fraction too hard as well.
00:35:49David Hussey safe as a bank at second slip.
00:35:51He doesn't drop those.
00:35:53And Queensland lose their fourth wicket.
00:35:55And a four for 93.
00:35:59Chris Hartley, the wicketkeeper.
00:36:00Leading run scorer for the Bulls comes to the crease.
00:36:03And they are in big trouble here at Queensland.
00:36:06Four for 93.
00:36:13That's a good shot.
00:36:14Great shot from Ryan Broad.
00:36:20Foundry.
00:36:27Oh, dropped in.
00:36:32The sub fielder.
00:36:33I think that's Hill there at backward square leg.
00:36:35He's hit it well.
00:36:38Should have been taken.
00:36:42Yeah, should have been caught.
00:36:43That's not the best piece of fielding.
00:36:46He's hit it hard.
00:36:48But at this level of cricket, those catches should be taken.
00:36:57As we see a slash outside.
00:36:59Off stump by Hartley.
00:37:00He'll pick up a boundary.
00:37:02His first after 51 deliveries.
00:37:10As Ryan Broad guides one wide of second slip.
00:37:14Down to the third man boundary.
00:37:15And David Hussey can't reel in.
00:37:16Four more to Ryan Broad.
00:37:20Full toss should be put away.
00:37:22And it is.
00:37:23Chris Hartley.
00:37:24Not a bad feeling.
00:37:25Get a full toss on your leg stump.
00:37:27So Hartley goes to 15.
00:37:28His second boundary.
00:37:33Oh, that's in the air again.
00:37:36Ryan Broad.
00:37:38Ryan Broad right on cue.
00:37:39Damien Fleming.
00:37:40Knew we were talking about the pace he was scoring.
00:37:46It's a glorious shot from Ryan Broad.
00:37:48He has absolutely princed that straight down the ground.
00:37:53Four for 143.
00:37:59That's boundary.
00:38:01Don't need to get out of bed for that one.
00:38:02Oh, chase it.
00:38:05Short.
00:38:06Pulled away.
00:38:08That's a fantastic shot by Ryan Broad.
00:38:10And a great way to bring up his 50 with a late catch.
00:38:13Down to the third man fence.
00:38:14And well done, Ryan Broad.
00:38:15For a gutsy, gritty 53.
00:38:17The Queensland Bulls.
00:38:18Four for 152.
00:38:25And it's over the top.
00:38:26It's a boundary.
00:38:29Boundary.
00:38:30So Hartley moving along.
00:38:36Oh, that's close.
00:38:38Oh, he's given him.
00:38:39There you have it.
00:38:41Time.
00:38:42Patience.
00:38:44Second time lucky for Bryce McCain.
00:38:47It was full.
00:38:48A little bit quicker.
00:38:50And that's a huge wicket.
00:38:52Well, it had to come.
00:38:53It had to come.
00:38:54It had to come.
00:38:55It had to come.
00:38:56It had to come.
00:38:57It had to come.
00:38:58It had to come.
00:38:59Well, it had to come, really.
00:39:00There's been that many appeals.
00:39:01This time, Chris Hartley is going to sweep the flatter, quicker one.
00:39:05And I'd say that's plump.
00:39:07Just straight and sitting middle.
00:39:09Yep, no problem with that.
00:39:10There's no inside edge.
00:39:11And finally, the Bushrangers get the breakthrough.
00:39:14Chris Hartley, he's a big wicket, too.
00:39:16He's a tough customer.
00:39:18And he's been a judge.
00:39:20LBW.
00:39:2224.
00:39:2395 balls faced.
00:39:24His innings come to an end.
00:39:25It's five for 158.
00:39:30Chris Simpson, the skipper.
00:39:31He's been sitting around for a couple of hours.
00:39:33He comes to the crease now.
00:39:35And the Bulls need a captain's knock.
00:39:37That is for sure.
00:39:38Averaging 22.
00:39:39He's a better player than that.
00:39:40He's a naturally attacking player.
00:39:42It'll be interesting to see how he approaches his innings here.
00:39:45Whether he tries to crack open this attack with some shot play
00:39:48or whether he hangs in there with Ryan Broad.
00:39:50But Bryce McGain got the breakthrough.
00:39:53There's been any number of appeals for caught behinds and LBWs.
00:39:57And finally, they get one in the affirmative.
00:40:01And watch Bryce McGain's reaction.
00:40:03He'll do his shoulder if he's not careful.
00:40:05One, two, three.
00:40:08I think he's had shoulder problems before, too.
00:40:10Doesn't do the rotator cuff much good.
00:40:14Pumped, wasn't he?
00:40:15I don't know if the C-spinner's getting really pumped like that.
00:40:19I think he was bitterly disappointed with the first LBW shell.
00:40:23That was a good decision by Simon Fry.
00:40:28He'll hit that.
00:40:29Ryan Broad, long hop, put away nicely.
00:40:31First real loose one.
00:40:39Oh, he's gone for four.
00:40:43And another boundary for the Bulls.
00:40:46It's 5-174, and the players will take a drink.
00:40:49It's fine, it's a boundary.
00:40:54Broad goes to 80.
00:40:55And over.
00:40:565 for 185.
00:41:05That's a great shot.
00:41:08Straight through the line of the ball, in between cover and mid-off,
00:41:11and it races away to the fence.
00:41:14Oh, into the deep.
00:41:15Threw mid-wicket in the air, but it's a boundary.
00:41:17Boundary.
00:41:18See you over.
00:41:26And McCain's bowled, Ryan Broad.
00:41:28Straight across the line there.
00:41:30Mark Ward's put the marker on him.
00:41:32And he's got it.
00:41:33He's got it.
00:41:34He's got it.
00:41:35He's got it.
00:41:36He's got it.
00:41:37He's got it.
00:41:38He's got it.
00:41:39He's got it.
00:41:40He's got it.
00:41:41He's got it.
00:41:42Brought the marker on him.
00:41:43Edging closer to his 100, his three-figures.
00:41:45Don't blame me, Marlo.
00:41:47But that's unfortunate.
00:41:48Ryan Broad has toughed it out all day.
00:41:51Bryce McCain.
00:41:54He's thrown it up.
00:41:55And it's played over the top of that, Ryan Broad,
00:41:57unfortunately it snuck through.
00:41:59Bryce McCain, he gets a big wicket here.
00:42:01Ryan Broad.
00:42:02Just when you thought that Broad and Simpson might see the Bulls through the
00:42:06stumps, he goes.
00:42:08And he goes for 82.
00:42:10to a very very patient innings. 6-1, 95. Ben Cunning comes in at number 8 and a
00:42:19very difficult time to bat. Quite murky conditions. The lights are on and stumps
00:42:26are in sight. This is what happened in the previous over. Bryce McGann just got one
00:42:33to dip on Ryan Broad. Disappointing dismissal really. He's probably played
00:42:38over top of Jimmy. Looked like a tired shot. Yeah, a little bit lazy on that one
00:42:42Junior. A crucial wicket for Victoria. The new ball around the corner. You saw
00:42:46Cameron White's jubilation. He knows how important that is as the Vicks open up
00:42:49an end with the new ball. All but nigh.
00:42:55Yeah, just wasn't really committed to the straight, was he? It's just a lazy push to
00:43:01the onside. Unfortunately it's dipped underneath his bat.
00:43:06There's plenty of men there ready to pounce. Here we go.
00:43:13Straight and full. Cunning survives. So in the end Simpson and Cunning will go to
00:43:19stumps. The Bulls sixth down for 199. A great day's play. A really tough
00:43:25competitive day of first-class cricket with the bowlers holding sway really. It
00:43:30was tough batting conditions this session. Two for 78. So it wasn't too bad for the
00:43:35Bulls. Probably their best session of the day with the bat. But it's been tough
00:43:39going all game so far for the batsmen.
00:43:52It's the biggest session for the Queensland team. The batters need to, or
00:43:57the batters remaining, need to get out there and they need to post a total
00:43:59somewhere near that of the Bushrangers to have any chance in this game. It's very
00:44:04hard when you're behind in the match to try and keep fighting your way back into
00:44:07the game. Chris Simpson, Ben Cunning, the job's really with them at the moment and
00:44:13for their sake, and the match's sake, I hope they get a score somewhere
00:44:17around about that of 300. And we did have a little bit of rain this morning so
00:44:22delayed start by 10 minutes but nothing got on the pitch. Mark Wall was down there and said it
00:44:27looks very good. There's still enough little grass coverings to make the new
00:44:33ball move around. But it may be the best day for batting. Oh definitely. There's
00:44:38still a little bit on offer, especially with the new wall, but this little bit,
00:44:42this little session here, there's gonna be lots of pressure from the Bushrangers.
00:44:45Andrew McDonald bowled well yesterday. Damien Wright, he was absolute sensational.
00:44:50And all the bowlers, you know, nice tight lines. Hard for the Bulls to score. The
00:44:55same again today and I hope they can withstand the pressure. Andrew McDonald
00:45:01bowled very tightly yesterday. He loves bowling at the MCG. Stump to stump for
00:45:06the MAC attack. Picked up a couple of wickets, two for 53 off 21 overs. And it's
00:45:12going to be strangulation with the old ball. Matthew Wade's up to the stumps and
00:45:17a lot of fielders for Chris Simpson to look up to when he looks down. And off
00:45:25the mark straight away. That's a good start. Just knock one into the point
00:45:29area and get down the other end. Get the scoreboard ticking along. The 200s now up
00:45:33for the Bulls. Oh that's a brilliant shot from Ben Cunning. We've talked
00:45:40about his power. He picks up a boundary. What a brilliant shot there. It's the way
00:45:45he plays. If you pitch up, he hits you straight back down over your head. I'd
00:45:49imagine the next delivery is going to be a little bit shorter. Potentially at the
00:45:54body if he's going to back away. But just it's a nice free-flowing swing of
00:45:58the bat. Oh he's straight down the ground. Take that.
00:46:03Brutal fall. Jimmy Ma leaps out of his chair. Starts cheering from the commentary
00:46:10box. Oh that's a big shot. Very close. Damian Wright picks up his second wicket. Queensland skipper Chris Simpson's on his way.
00:46:21A beautiful delivery that swinging down the line of the stumps. Started the
00:46:26swing. Straightened down the line. Hit him right in front. It was a pretty easy
00:46:29decision there for the umpire. I'm not sure it gets any closer than that. It's
00:46:36hitting top of middle and off there. Easy decision. Damian Wright deserves his wicket.
00:46:42He bowled beautifully yesterday. Cunning's taking him for a few this morning but
00:46:45still bowling beautifully and getting the ball to nip around nicely. Chris
00:46:51Swan comes to the crease batting at number nine. Handy player averaging 25
00:46:55and he scored some useful runs at this position already this season. They'll
00:47:02love to see 25 come off his bat here this morning the Queenslanders. But it
00:47:07won't be easy. Damian Wright deserved that wicket. Bowled beautifully yesterday
00:47:13and he's got that new ball zipping around today.
00:47:19Might be the plan of attack there. Go straight at the stumps. The odd one swinging.
00:47:23The odd one seems around. LBW's bowled. He's bowled beautifully. Deserves his rewards.
00:47:30That's a good shot though from Swan. He's got it away for four.
00:47:40Oh that's got a wicket. Been bowling big in swingers John Hastings. He says thank you
00:47:47very much and it probably wasn't there to pull and Swan is on his way and it's
00:47:53a big wicket as well. What a dangerous lower order batsman Chris Swan is. But
00:47:57just rewards for John Hastings. That's actually his first wicket for the
00:48:01innings. He's bowled some very very good in swingers throughout this ball's innings and
00:48:07what a great feeling it is to finally break through. Very dangerous pairing of
00:48:14Swan and Cutting comes to an end. Chris Swan on his way for 10. Bulls 8 for 243.
00:48:20Luke Feldman the new batsman for the Queensland Bulls and it was a breakthrough
00:48:26and a vital breakthrough. A trail by 62 runs. Feldman has been pretty handy with
00:48:34the bat. What about the strike rate of 90. Batting at number 10, 11 and he's averaging
00:48:4040 not with just pure not out. He's scored 160 runs. Looking forward to watching this.
00:48:46Two catching in the slips and on the leg side of the box and it's in the air and through.
00:48:51He's not holding back. He'll push to get three and they'll get it comfortably.
00:48:58How easy is this game for Luke Feldman. He's got wickets in all his games. Runs are plenty.
00:49:08Strike rate of 300. And where's that gone? That's gone in the air and that'll be out.
00:49:15Yep it's taken. It takes an easy catch. Luke Feldman who goes. Well he shouldn't have been on strike.
00:49:22They should have got two off the last ball. They didn't. He ended up on strike and he's gone.
00:49:26Well the deep points come into play here. Hastings going for his in swinger. Feldman a strong
00:49:34tall ender. He's had a great start to his career. Chips it out to Bobby Quiney there at deep point.
00:49:40Very happy. Hastings picks up his second wicket. It's bowled very well throughout the game.
00:49:47So Feldman on his way 4-4. The balls are 9 for 249. Cameron Boyce the number 11. He won't be on strike
00:49:57because they did cross with the dismissal of Feldman who was caught out on the deep point
00:50:02boundary. An unusual feeling position but Cameron White got exactly right. And they trial by 56.
00:50:10So every run is vital. Hasn't got Harlow. I think there's two there. Finch is aware of the fact.
00:50:21And that'll leave Cameron Boyce to negotiate four deliveries here. And Boyce survives. He gets it
00:50:32away. Will it go for four? It will. A handy boundary there to the Bulls. And Boyce gets his first run
00:50:38in his first class career. End of the over 9 for 256. Bowling straight through him. He's tried to whip it through mid wicket.
00:50:48And Andrew McDonald finally gets his man. And Queensland have bowled out for 257. Boyce goes for four and a very
00:50:57tidy bowling display by the Bushrangers. Boyce didn't offer much. He was playing and missing.
00:51:04Andrew McDonald the straighter delivery. Just nips back slightly and top of off stump where he should be bowling most deliveries.
00:51:11Thoroughly deserves his wicket Andrew McDonald. As all the Victorian bowlers have bowled beautifully. The only concern is
00:51:18Damien Wright and his hamstring. And hopefully they can post a big total now and bat the Bulls out of the game.
00:51:23Cameron Boyce goes for four. It's all wrapped up for 257. There's the Bulls batting card. Townsend went early. Broad held them together with 82.
00:51:34Carstine with 7. Lynn Batterwell for 40. Hopes and Hartley and Simpson all got starts. Ben Cutting played an aggressive innings.
00:51:42He's not out 35. Swan, Feldman and Boyce didn't offer much towards the end.
00:51:46And for the bowler Damien Wright 21.4 overs 2 for 48 bowled beautifully. Unfortunately may have a slight injury. Pattinson 1 for 53 was good again this morning.
00:51:57Maybe lost his way against Cutting. Andrew McDonald as for always 3 for 64. John Hastings 2 for 51. And Bryce McGann picked up the crucial wicket of Ryan Broad last night just before the close of play.
00:52:08So the Bushrangers pretty happy with their bowling performance I would have thought.
00:52:12Pretty good day to bat really. Victoria start with a lead of 48. Which is a handy enough lead given the conditions. Nick Jewell and his fellow opening partner at the other end.
00:52:27Nick Jewell averaging 37. Good tough opening batsman. Rob Quiney more of a stroke maker. Left and right hand combination.
00:52:42Probably Quiney had some big wraps on him at the start. He probably hasn't had his best season after finishing last year of 2008-2009 in tremendous fashion. Probably struggled a little bit.
00:52:54Especially in the shorter versions of the game where he was touted as having higher honours for Australia. Hopefully he can for his sake make men's in this game and make a big score.
00:53:05Chris Swan will take the new ball from the Great Southern stand in. Three slips and a gully in place for him. Bowled beautifully in the first innings.
00:53:15And a cut shot. Gets that through the point area for four.
00:53:21Yeah Nick Jewell's favourite shot that. Mind you most batsmen in the world short and wide cut away from the fence for four.
00:53:29Oh there's a cover drive from Rob Quiney. It's been a tough start for him. Off the mark with his 14th delivery. And the Bushrangers are numb for 14.
00:53:41Someone needs to dig deep here. Inspirational spell. Get a few poles. Pull shot straight away from Quiney. That's not going to happen there. That's his fourth boundary. He's absolutely smoked that.
00:53:55Luke Feldman back in the attack. Replacing Ben Cutting who's just looked a bit ginger in his last couple of overs.
00:54:05Oh starts with a short one. It's put away beautifully by Quiney. In fact he's gone for six. Great shot.
00:54:12How effortless was that from Bobby Quiney. He is starting to really open up the shoulders. Four boundaries and one six in the innings.
00:54:22And the warm up ball gets taken down by the left hander. So the lead now 130.
00:54:30You're right. Reminds me so much of Stephen Fleming. His style at the crease. His batting style. The way the flow of the bat and his footwork.
00:54:39And there's a cut shot given. Too short and wide. And Jule helping himself to another boundary.
00:54:47Yeah the ball is just getting a bit sloppy at the moment.
00:54:52That's down and over the top. It's a good shot.
00:54:57Boundary.
00:54:59That's done a little bit. Let's see if he's got anything on that. It's the umpire I reckon. Indeed.
00:55:08So that's a 50 up.
00:55:14For Nick Jule. 600 odd runs in this season for Victoria.
00:55:21Oh that's worth a shout.
00:55:23That's worth a shout.
00:55:27That looked very very close. Let's just have a look. Probably a bit outside the line I'd say.
00:55:32Oh I don't know. That's very very close.
00:55:37That's out.
00:55:42Very good delivery from Chris Swan. Swung the ball back in towards the stumps.
00:55:53It's Quiney this time. Full of ball from Swan and Quiney pounced.
00:55:59And hit a quarter point. And that's 50 for Rob Quiney. Well compiled innings.
00:56:04Opening the batting. Been batting in the middle order predominantly this year.
00:56:09And a fantastic shot there to bring up his 50.
00:56:14Oh he's got a bit of that too. Rob Quiney. 10 off the over. Quiney goes under 73.
00:56:19None for 153 Victoria.
00:56:24He's got him. So he's got a wicket now. The young leg spinner.
00:56:29It's gone straight through Rob Quiney. And that's first wicket down for Victoria.
00:56:35Straight through. He knows he's missed an opportunity there Rob Quiney.
00:56:40And he is kicking himself here.
00:56:45He's batted beautifully down the wicket.
00:56:48Just about yorked himself. Hitting across the line but good work there from Cameron Boyce.
00:56:53Maybe that's the spark he needs and a bit of confidence.
00:56:59Great knock down for Rob Quiney.
00:57:01Wouldn't say he's been in the best of form coming into this game.
00:57:04But he's got the bushramies in a very good position.
00:57:0873.
00:57:14Aaron Finch a new batsman.
00:57:18Had the pads on for a little bit. Sitting there waiting. Now he'll get his opportunity.
00:57:24Missed out the first innings.
00:57:28It's just a square up court at the back of the point. Made 26. Played a couple of good shots.
00:57:35Simpson sensing a bit of an opportunity here.
00:57:39Needs to apply some pressure early on.
00:57:42And well bowled by the young leg spinner.
00:57:47Just dropping the ball on off stump. A little bit of turn.
00:57:52What is going on there? Didn't hit the pad. Yes given.
00:57:56Number 2 for Cameron Boyce. Can you believe it?
00:58:01Yeah that's a poor shot from Nick Jewell.
00:58:04It was straight and he tried to cut it. It skidded on and that's hit the pad.
00:58:08Right in front of middle stump.
00:58:10And Cameron Boyce gets his second wicket. Well done young man.
00:58:15And he's kept the balls in the game. It was 2 full and 2 straight. That is absolutely plump.
00:58:21And Simon Fry has given the LBW a decision.
00:58:25Nick Jewell's vigil comes to an end. A good innings.
00:58:28He's out for 70. It's 2 for 155.
00:58:33David Hussey.
00:58:35David Hussey.
00:58:37This is an opportunity for the Bulls.
00:58:415000 runs for him.
00:58:47And 2 new batsmen at the crease. Finch and Hussey. This is an opportunity. A big one for the Bulls.
00:58:52They need to strike here.
00:58:54Ben Cutting. He's just got to dig deep.
00:58:57Cameron Boyce at one end has done the work.
00:59:00Now they've got to make the most of it.
00:59:04They've got to make sure the pressure stays on the Bushrangers.
00:59:10Cutting's got to get it in the right area. Make him play.
00:59:15What's he got?
00:59:212 new batsmen at the crease. Finch and Hussey. A little opening here for the Bulls.
00:59:26Catch.
00:59:28Out. No. Just wide of mid-off.
00:59:31He threw it up. Cameron Boyce. Benny Cutting couldn't quite get to it.
00:59:38And some pretty good bowling.
00:59:42It's good frustrating bowling going on. Feldman's bowling nice and straight. Not giving the batsmen many opportunities to score.
00:59:49Boyce throwing the ball up. Just out of reach.
00:59:56And dispatched straight to deep cover.
01:00:00First ball back. Loreal losing it from Cutting.
01:00:03And Finch pounced on it. Smacked it straight through the cover region. A great shot.
01:00:09Oh, that's going to go again. Aaron Finch is just launching back on that one.
01:00:15Cutting it through the offside for consecutive balls.
01:00:19Yeah, great shot from Finch. This time lifting it over point.
01:00:25Just swatted it over cover point. Flemo didn't he?
01:00:29Bit of an unconventional shot for another G Moore.
01:00:35Slap.
01:00:37They don't come back. Big Cutting can't find the happy medium at the moment. First ball.
01:00:42Juicy half volley. And that one just a fraction short outside the off stump.
01:00:49That's a better length. Much better length from Ben Cutting.
01:00:54Oh, Jesus. Nailed that as well. Aaron Finch.
01:00:58Now he's just going through the batting coaching manual. That'll just get there.
01:01:04Now we've got a back foot punch through the point area for four.
01:01:10Yeah, Finch really starting to get some rhythm and momentum in his innings here.
01:01:14Cutting only slightly off the line and Finch is pounced.
01:01:27Dave Hussey turns one away again off the pads. Pick up two.
01:01:32That's 50 to Dave Hussey.
01:01:37Of 68 balls.
01:01:39He's a class player, Dave Hussey. Right from the word go. He was looking to attack today.
01:01:44And you get the feeling there's a lot more to come too.
01:01:49Not much good bowling near that. It's a good shot from Aaron Finch and that'll be his 50.
01:01:53Well played, Aaron Finch. 53 from 61 balls. So it's been an entertaining innings and the crowd acknowledging a fine 50.
01:02:03Lovely cut of drive. There's a bit of class about that one.
01:02:07So, David Hussey, he's 7-4. He's on to 59. Bushrangers 2 for 269.
01:02:14Cameron Boyce has picked up the two wickets to fall from the Bushrangers.
01:02:19So, great experience for the young league spinner.
01:02:22Can he pick up one more?
01:02:23Oh, and that's a bit of variation. The one that doesn't bounce. That's going to go for four.
01:02:28David Hussey, too good a player not to put that away.
01:02:31Yeah, you love that when you're short-legged. You just get put in there and it's a half waist-tight full bunger.
01:02:38What's short-legged?
01:02:40Oh.
01:02:42He's got it.
01:02:44He's got it.
01:02:46He's got it.
01:02:48He's got it.
01:02:49Full bunger. What's short-legged?
01:02:52Oh.
01:02:54Nowhere near him, but you don't like that.
01:02:57And that should be it.
01:03:01The end of play in the Sheffield Shield final. Day three.
01:03:07Victoria in a very commanding position. They lead now by 321 runs.
01:03:15Quiney and Jules set it all up at the start.
01:03:19The Bulls, they've got to dig deep today. Day four. Sheffield Shield final in Victoria 2 for 273.
01:03:34Aaron Finch and David Hussey, the not-out players. Both very, very good players and very aggressive players.
01:03:40The Bulls, they've got to strike very quickly in this first hour, Stewie.
01:03:44Morning, Junior. Well, they need eight quick wickets. Maybe four or five in the first session.
01:03:50Three in the second and then get themselves chasing about 450 because no early wickets.
01:03:55They could be chasing 650-odd and probably even still bowling tomorrow if the history of Shield finals has been anything to go by.
01:04:03Starting off with something different here. Chris Lynn hasn't bowled a ball in this match. Left-arm orthodox.
01:04:09Maybe he can extract something out of that we haven't seen for the first three days.
01:04:13Well, it's 12 hours before the second new ball. Chris Simpson maybe just trying to get there as quick as possible and keep his strike bowls fresh.
01:04:23Chris Lynn will bowl his left-arm orthodox from the Great Southern stand-in.
01:04:29Jimmy Marsbein saying that Chris Lynn bowls okay. Finally, he's got to go here.
01:04:33And a nice even spread of the field. That's a good start. Not sure he'll get much turn.
01:04:40That wicket, as we saw before, the start of play is still very good.
01:04:45Oh, that's going to go. That'll probably go all the way, will it?
01:04:49Yep, that'll go for six. A long hop, but beautifully put away by David Huston.
01:04:56Yeah, lovely stroke.
01:04:58Yeah, lovely stroke.
01:05:01Seized upon the short ball. Rocked back.
01:05:05Pretty easy big bats these days. They go miles, junior.
01:05:09Even in your day with your skinny little bat, you might have put that one up into the top deck.
01:05:19Dave Huston's not going to miss those. Sorry.
01:05:22Finch is not going to miss those. He's going to rock back and can pretty much hit that anywhere.
01:05:27And he's pushed it between cover and mid-off and it's gone all the way for four.
01:05:33Make that another four runs for the total. Make it another six runs.
01:05:39Yeah, that's a pretty poor delivery, that one.
01:05:43That's a hip-high fully. Dave Huston is a lot better than that and he's going to hit that long and far.
01:05:50That's like, you know, the ones when you're warming up, junior, and you're sort of just trying to get your eye on it
01:05:54and you're just whacking them back into the fence. The coach is throwing and you're sort of saying,
01:05:57no, I don't want a bit softer, a bit slower. That was a bit like that.
01:06:02Yeah, that was a gift and that's gone as well. This time that's only four.
01:06:06Slapped Dave mid-off. Hit it hard. David Huston is racing towards 100. He's 83.
01:06:12That's short, gone. Long hop, put away. And another six.
01:06:20Yeah, David Huston filling his boots with the short stuff.
01:06:24Cameron Boyce, probably one ball and over, just not bowling it in the right spot.
01:06:27Once again, David Huston rocks back and hits that one long and high and it clears the road.
01:06:32That's a big boundary out there at the MCG.
01:06:34That's nice enough. Run out chance. Oh, he's hit him. That one's gone upstairs.
01:06:43Good piece of fielding that. Flores picked the ball up nice and quickly, threw the stumps down.
01:06:48The Bulls are celebrating. They think it's out.
01:06:50Yeah, my first thoughts were that Aaron Finch was in real trouble and that's going to be very, very close.
01:06:58I'm saying that's out.
01:06:59Yeah, yeah, brilliant fielding from the substitute.
01:07:02Flores getting the opportunity early in the day. He wouldn't have had too many practices.
01:07:06And Aaron Finch is going to be very, very disappointed here.
01:07:09It was his call though. And a good piece of fielding. We'll see Aaron Finch on his way.
01:07:19Yeah, very quick to get around to the ball there. Picked it up.
01:07:23You can see the disappointment on his face there as he's walking off the field.
01:07:27He knows he's thrown away a golden opportunity to get a hundred in the Sheffield Shield Final.
01:07:33Quality piece of fielding.
01:07:34You can see the disappointment on his face there as he's walking off the field.
01:07:44He knows, he knows he's thrown away a golden opportunity to get a hundred in the Sheffield
01:07:48Shield final.
01:07:49A quality piece of fielding, Mike Young, the academy fielding coach, Queensland fielding
01:07:57coach at some times, he'd be very, very happy with that.
01:08:01One of the days where you just have your fast bowler standing at mid-off and mid-on, you've
01:08:04now got your best fielder standing there.
01:08:06Just putting down one knee to hopefully stop the ball, and if it actually does end up in
01:08:10your hands, an option of a run out is really not there, but Young would have liked that.
01:08:16So Finchie on his way for 63, Fishrange is three for 311.
01:08:20Well Cameron White's strode out to the middle very confidently, as he should be when you're
01:08:25359 in front.
01:08:28He's taking guard, he'll be facing, as the run out was at the non-striker's end and it
01:08:32was over.
01:08:33Cameron Boyce is going to continue around the wicket.
01:08:36This should be a good battle, Cameron White, quality player of spin, likes to use his feet
01:08:42and get down the wicket and hit the ball over the top.
01:08:44It's a big test once again for Cameron Boyce.
01:08:47That actually being a deep point in for Cameron White, just while he's on a duck.
01:08:53Don't want to get him off with an easy single.
01:08:56Do you think that was a bit of gamesmanship there by Boyce, as he sort of two-stepped
01:08:59in and then he thought, no, no, let's keep the pressure on Cameron White here?
01:09:03Not so much, no.
01:09:07This in for Boyce.
01:09:12That's short again, and that's four.
01:09:14Dave Hussey pounces all over that, moves his way to 96.
01:09:21He's a beautiful drive with the ball, David Hussey.
01:09:24This will bring up a magnificent hundred for David Hussey in a Shield final.
01:09:28He'll raise his back to the teammates, high-five to one of his good mates, Cameron White, and
01:09:34it's been, as always with Hussey, a very entertaining night.
01:09:40There's another great cover drive from David Hussey.
01:09:44He was in the slot, swung quite rightly, getting it up to see if there's any swing, and there
01:09:49wasn't.
01:09:50So the dashing blade of Hussey continues.
01:09:54That's pulled away, and all the way, very close to it.
01:09:58Good shot from Cameron White.
01:10:01That's going down the leg side anyway, and he helped it round the corner.
01:10:08Drop.
01:10:11Chance.
01:10:11Well, you've got to take them.
01:10:13It was firmly struck.
01:10:15Straight to cover, and Townsend's put it down, and that's a regulation catch, really.
01:10:21Well, that's what he's there for.
01:10:22Short cover for the drive on the up.
01:10:24Straight in the air, straight to him, in the bucket, straight down.
01:10:32Cameron White.
01:10:33Another one through the gully slip region.
01:10:35Another four.
01:10:36363, and the scoreboard keeps ticking over as Victoria now lead by 411 runs.
01:10:44That's four more, I'd say.
01:10:47Pitched up, nice and straight, whipped down the ground.
01:10:50Did it get there?
01:10:51Yes, it does.
01:10:53It's over.
01:10:53It's three to 367.
01:10:57Oh, that's whack.
01:10:59Bang.
01:11:04This one way too short.
01:11:06Cameron White dropped onto the back foot and pulled that one away over mid-wicket.
01:11:12Oh, and again.
01:11:14Pond, short again.
01:11:17This time over back to square leg.
01:11:19Bases across the outfield before.
01:11:23And again.
01:11:25That's four more.
01:11:27White, that's four more.
01:11:28That's 12 off.
01:11:30Score is 2385.
01:11:36That's four more for David Hussey.
01:11:38Chris Swan, unfortunately, tiring.
01:11:4123.5 overs, or four overs.
01:11:45Done for 87.
01:11:48It's through the slip, Gordon.
01:11:52Well, that's the 50 up for the skipper.
01:11:56They're out there playing the shots, the Bush Rangers.
01:12:00Good positive cricket.
01:12:05That's a leading edge.
01:12:06It's up.
01:12:07Oh, it's not happening for the Bulls.
01:12:10It is not happening at all.
01:12:17That's gone a long way.
01:12:19Wow.
01:12:20That's gone 10 rows back, Cameron White.
01:12:26Oh, there's a shout.
01:12:27We'll have to have a look at that.
01:12:28Third umpire will have a look.
01:12:30It's a good bit of bowling by Cameron Boyce.
01:12:32I don't know about the body language, whether it's that confident.
01:12:36We'll just have a bit of a quick look there.
01:12:38Chris Hartley, good bit of work.
01:12:40I think Hartley thinks it's out.
01:12:42Big appeal.
01:12:43He drags his foot.
01:12:50I'm saying safe.
01:12:51Junior?
01:12:53Yeah, just.
01:12:54Is it just enough of that right foot behind the line?
01:12:57It's close.
01:12:59Not out the third umpire.
01:13:02Dave Hussey back to home.
01:13:03The crowd are happy.
01:13:04They want to see more Dave Hussey hitting the ball to all parts of the ground.
01:13:16Dave Hussey, back to home.
01:13:17Dave Hussey punches out the deep point.
01:13:22150 up for Dave Hussey.
01:13:26He salutes the crowd.
01:13:31Dave Hussey just whacked that one over the top of mid-arm.
01:13:33That's six again.
01:13:34That's a nice shot.
01:13:38Oh, and that's out.
01:13:40So finally a breakthrough for the ball.
01:13:42He's been cutting.
01:13:43It's more relief than enjoyment.
01:13:45Lee Carson takes the patch and the magnificent innings of David Hussey comes to an end.
01:13:52He's got caught a bit off before.
01:13:53That's a screamer.
01:13:54That wouldn't have been caught in the 80s.
01:13:56Jimmy Hicks got to that one.
01:13:57Jimmy Hicks didn't even go for a Jimmy Hicks.
01:14:01Beautifully fouled David Hussey.
01:14:03Magnificent 168.
01:14:05Andrew McDonald comes out at number six and he is on a king there.
01:14:10Meaning that he got a first ball in the first innings.
01:14:13And the opportunity to back that up in the second.
01:14:15Which he doesn't want to do.
01:14:16Picked up three wickets.
01:14:17Very good with the ball.
01:14:18But this is the reason why he is here.
01:14:23Might have been a slightly slower ball.
01:14:25Hard to tell on this wicket.
01:14:28Hussey's coming off.
01:14:29But didn't look...
01:14:30Should have been smiling when you get 168.
01:14:32You want to have a bit of a chuckle coming off, wouldn't you?
01:14:35I would have.
01:14:36But that's a season's tally for me.
01:14:40A little bit away from the body there.
01:14:42But he might have felt he had 200 not back.
01:14:45So he's off the dreaded king pair.
01:14:48Now he's just on a regulation pair.
01:14:50And he got one against Western Australia a couple of years ago.
01:14:5207, 08.
01:14:55Oh!
01:14:57An inside edge.
01:14:58Boundary unlucky for Ben Cutting.
01:15:02So end of the 122nd over.
01:15:05This range is 5 for 488.
01:15:12Nice shot.
01:15:14Andrew McDonald.
01:15:16Chris Simpson over pitching.
01:15:17And four through the coverage.
01:15:20It's 5 for 508.
01:15:25And down the wicket he comes and bang.
01:15:28One bounce four.
01:15:30Maybe even two bounces in there as it trickles into the rope.
01:15:36Once again, down the wicket.
01:15:39And that's gone all the way for six.
01:15:41Great shot, Matthew Wade.
01:15:46This is in the air.
01:15:47Will it be out?
01:15:48I'd say it will be.
01:15:49Gets caught.
01:15:50Chris Swann, no, it's Feldman takes the catch.
01:15:53Matthew Wade looking to go over the top.
01:15:54And Cameron Boyce gets another wicket.
01:15:57Well bowled, young man.
01:15:59Well, we've seen a couple of times, though, where Boyce has lured people in to play rash shots.
01:16:03And the ball's flying in the air.
01:16:04But it's landed safely.
01:16:06He's lucky.
01:16:07And that's his fourth wicket.
01:16:09So well done to Boyce.
01:16:12It's a good performance.
01:16:13You can get another one.
01:16:14Five wickets in the Shield final at the age of 19.
01:16:18Luke Feldman there hanging on to the chance.
01:16:21And that's six wickets.
01:16:22So we won't have to worry about a declaration hog.
01:16:24Here's Matthew Wade.
01:16:25He goes for 20.
01:16:26Six for 524.
01:16:28John Hastings, the bowling all-rounder who gives the ball a bit of a whack.
01:16:33He comes to the crease averaging just under 30.
01:16:36It's a good effort from John Hastings.
01:16:39Much improved cricketer Cameron Boyce.
01:16:41Well, he's got four for 152.
01:16:43Can he get Pfeiffer at the age of 20 in the Sheffield Shield final?
01:16:56I think the cricket bowlers are just about out on their feet.
01:16:58That's a great shot from McDonald.
01:17:00Good footwork.
01:17:01But I think...
01:17:03Sorry, it was Hastings.
01:17:08Oh, that's a great shot.
01:17:09John Hastings, he doesn't muck around.
01:17:11He's put that one over the fence.
01:17:14End of the over.
01:17:15Six for 541.
01:17:21Shot.
01:17:24That's through.
01:17:26It'll be over.
01:17:31Oh, Johnny Hastings.
01:17:33He went for it.
01:17:36And five wickets to Cameron Boyce.
01:17:39It doesn't matter how you get him.
01:17:42It's a wonderful moment anyway.
01:17:45Might be a bit of a dead period in the game.
01:17:48But you can always remember taking a five-wicket haul in a Sheffield Shield final for a young kid.
01:17:54But he can.
01:17:55That's a memorable day for him.
01:17:56It's only his second match.
01:17:57Five wickets in an innings.
01:18:00He's happy.
01:18:02Queensland boys are happy for him.
01:18:04It's always good to see.
01:18:06Well done, Cameron Boyce.
01:18:07You deserve your success.
01:18:0941.4 over six made in five for 169.
01:18:13Well, the new man of the wicket is Damian Wright.
01:18:15He's joined Andrew McDonald.
01:18:18He's also got another partner in Rob Quiney, who's going to run for him.
01:18:21Of course, Damian Wright hurt his hamstring in the first inning of bowling.
01:18:24So he won't be able to scamper through for those quick singles.
01:18:28So this may cause a little bit of confusion.
01:18:30And always a little bit of fun when the runner's out in the field.
01:18:50Just wide of mid-wicket.
01:18:52And put away.
01:18:55I'm allowed to hear Damian Wright.
01:19:01Oh, he goes again.
01:19:02It's in the air.
01:19:03Over mid-wicket.
01:19:04And another boundary to Damian Wright.
01:19:06It's completely over.
01:19:08British Rangers 7-4, 575.
01:19:14Oh, a stumping chance.
01:19:17They're happy.
01:19:18And he's been given out.
01:19:19So another wicket to the young leg spinner.
01:19:22Boyce has got six.
01:19:25And getting his average back to 30.
01:19:28All right, he needed a bigger foot.
01:19:29He would have been okay.
01:19:33He's been given.
01:19:34And Cameron Boyce, well, he could get eight for here.
01:19:39Where's he going?
01:19:41A bit of Jason Crozier about this one.
01:19:43Mark Walton.
01:19:45And that's a miss right from Damian Wright.
01:19:49And let's have a look from side on.
01:19:52The ball gets to Hartley.
01:19:54And he's back.
01:19:56It's back.
01:20:01Well, it couldn't have been stumped.
01:20:03Well, the umpire at the other end gave it out.
01:20:05So it must have been a nick.
01:20:07And Damian Wright's not happy.
01:20:10Darren Pattinson comes to the crease with the bizarre dismissal of Damian Wright.
01:20:14I'll have a look at it after this delivery.
01:20:17Whichever way it was out, it gives Cameron Boyce six wickets.
01:20:21We just might have a look at that neat work behind the stumps again there from Chris Hartley.
01:20:26Here's his dismissal now.
01:20:28I don't think he's hit it.
01:20:36He doesn't know how he's out.
01:20:38It's a fair question, I think.
01:20:42Oh, there's a wind-up from Pattinson.
01:20:44And he's smoked that through mid-wicket.
01:20:48Another boundary up for the Bush Angels.
01:20:51And the air drops.
01:20:54Lee casted on a mid-wicket to put one down.
01:20:58It's actually the second one he's put down in the match.
01:21:01He's hit it pretty well.
01:21:03But, uh, should have caught that.
01:21:08Okay, what's Lika done here?
01:21:12Full toss.
01:21:13Pattinson off the toe.
01:21:14And it's almost knocked him out.
01:21:18Edge dropped again.
01:21:20Has it carried?
01:21:21It was a tough one.
01:21:22Chris Simpson diving away to his right.
01:21:25Couldn't pouch it.
01:21:26And consecutive drops.
01:21:30Advance for McDonald.
01:21:31Outside edge.
01:21:32Does it carry to Simpson?
01:21:34I think it does.
01:21:35So we're on a drop trick here for Chris Swan.
01:21:40And you look, his hands was never in a good position, were they?
01:21:44June, you being the master in the slips.
01:21:46Yeah, it looked like he wasn't concentrating or didn't pick it up.
01:21:49He was late to move and his hands were all over the shop.
01:21:51Just couldn't get them in the right position, as you say, Flynn.
01:21:56So we're on a three in a row dropped chances.
01:22:01See if we can get it.
01:22:02No.
01:22:04Chris Hartley mops it up.
01:22:06Ended up a very eventful over.
01:22:088 for 591.
01:22:10It's that eventful they've actually declared, June.
01:22:138 for 591.
01:22:16It comes to an end.
01:22:17Victoria lead by 639 runs.
01:22:21So an outstanding effort for the Bushrangers.
01:22:24And look at Chris Swan.
01:22:26He could have got a couple of wickets in that over.
01:22:28But his reward will be that he'll be able to have a nice shower
01:22:32and put his feet up hopefully for a fair while
01:22:35and watch his batsmen make a lot of runs.
01:22:38Yeah, it's a long vigil for the Bulls.
01:22:40Comes to an end.
01:22:41They've been put out of their misery with the declaration.
01:22:45And that's how it looks for the Bushrangers.
01:22:47Superb batting in the second innings.
01:22:49Jewell and Quiney, 70 each.
01:22:51Aaron Finch ran out for 63.
01:22:52Then Hussey, magnificent 168.
01:22:55Cameron White, 89.
01:22:57Donald not out 41.
01:22:59Wade, Hastings and Wright all got a start.
01:23:01Patson chipped in with 6.
01:23:04So 8 declared for 591, the Bushrangers.
01:23:07And with the ball, not too much to talk about here.
01:23:10I think the best efforts were trying to keep your figures under 100.
01:23:13Ben Cunning did that with a wicket.
01:23:15But really, it was about young boys here.
01:23:17Picking up six wickets, bowling his leg breaks.
01:23:20What a great moment for him.
01:23:22He'll be able to put his feet up for a while there as well.
01:23:24But they told manfully.
01:23:26With no James Hopes part of that bowling lineup.
01:23:29So that was always going to be tough.
01:23:33So there's the match summary as it stands on day four.
01:23:37About an hour to go, 45 minutes.
01:23:39Bushrangers 305.
01:23:41The Bulls reply with 257.
01:23:43Then the Bushrangers 8591.
01:23:46What that means is the Bulls need 640 more runs to win the Sheffield Shield.
01:23:51Townsend comes out.
01:23:52Eventually, Brian Broad's been out there for probably two minutes by himself.
01:23:57Townsend, a little bit delayed.
01:23:59Maybe a little bit nervous, June.
01:24:02The velociraptor, as Jimmy Mark called him.
01:24:04Wade Townsend.
01:24:08Left hand up.
01:24:09He got undone by Darren Pattinson in the first innings with the new ball.
01:24:12Ryan Broad top scored.
01:24:15He made 82, I think it was.
01:24:17Had a bit of luck, but loves MCG.
01:24:20Averages over 100 at MCG.
01:24:24And they've got about nine overs to negotiate tonight, the Bulls.
01:24:32Here we go, Darren Pattinson.
01:24:34False start.
01:24:36Three slips in the gully and a short mid-wicket.
01:24:41Five catches in place.
01:24:49And a nice loosener, the bouncer.
01:24:54That's a beautiful shot.
01:24:57New ball.
01:24:59It's coming onto the bat nicely.
01:25:06Cracked away.
01:25:07That's a nice shot.
01:25:16Went out to cover the point.
01:25:18In the air a little bit.
01:25:20But that will conclude today's play.
01:25:24Day four of the Sheffield Shield final.
01:25:27No wicket for 29 Queensland.
01:25:36It has been a slow grind for them today.
01:25:40Been some good batting from the Bush Rangers.
01:25:43David Hussey, 168 and Cameron White, 89.
01:25:48Cameron Boyce, 6 for 181.
01:25:51The youngster, his second game in the season.
01:25:55They declared it 8-5-91.
01:25:59And the Bulls, that bottom line.
01:26:03611 more runs to win this game.
01:26:17All set for day five of the Sheffield Shield final.
01:26:20As the players make their way out into the middle.
01:26:23And a very happy Cameron White.
01:26:25Had a chat to him last night.
01:26:26And he was sort of talking about the declaration.
01:26:29And thought that people would be thinking about when he was going to do it.
01:26:32But he wanted to bat the opposition well and truly out of the game.
01:26:36I think they might have done it.
01:26:37Queensland, they need 611 more runs to win this game.
01:26:41It's been a good four days though.
01:26:42The wicket's been very good in this game.
01:26:46It seemed around the first couple of days.
01:26:48And then it's flattened out in the last couple of days.
01:26:52Now Bryce McGain, as you would expect, has an opportunity here to really bowl well.
01:27:00Not have to worry about field.
01:27:01Keep the field up.
01:27:02Attack all the way.
01:27:04He picked up two for 29 in the first innings from 14 overs.
01:27:08Two viable wickets really.
01:27:12That's the area that he'll be targeting today.
01:27:14If he can get it up and get it full.
01:27:16The short leg will come into play.
01:27:18Spinning it back into the left-hander.
01:27:20The catching mid wicket.
01:27:22And a fair slip as well.
01:27:23Perfect conditions at the G.
01:27:25Start of day five in the final.
01:27:29Good start.
01:27:32Very good start for Bryce McGain.
01:27:37And they're away.
01:27:37First runs of the morning.
01:27:38And it's a boundary and a good start too.
01:27:41Boundary.
01:27:42Short outside off stump.
01:27:44And put away nicely.
01:27:46A great start for Victoria.
01:27:47Bryce McGain out of the rough.
01:27:50Townsend has just nicked one back onto the stumps.
01:27:53He's making the long walk back to the pavilion.
01:27:56Well, that was the area that Bryce McGain was always aiming for.
01:27:59Outside the off stump of the left-hander.
01:28:01He threw it up.
01:28:02He threw it wide.
01:28:03It was nice and full.
01:28:04And right out of the foot marks and clipping that leg stump.
01:28:08It does not get any better than that for a leg spinner.
01:28:11Exactly right there, BJ.
01:28:13A little bit of drift.
01:28:14Ball drifting away into the foot marks.
01:28:15Foot marks cause the ball to grip.
01:28:18Turn back into the stumps.
01:28:21Bulls are now 1-37.
01:28:25Well, Lee Carson, I missed out in the first innings.
01:28:29Played some nice shots off the quick bowlers.
01:28:32We've gone for seven.
01:28:33He's had a pretty good season.
01:28:35Averaging in the mid 30s though.
01:28:37517 runs before this final.
01:28:41And this will be a different proposition for Lee Carson and Bryce McGain.
01:28:45Two now in catching on the leg and offside and the first slip.
01:28:49The luxury of being able to attack Cameron White.
01:28:52But he's going to be a bit more aggressive.
01:28:54He's got a bit more of a power play.
01:28:55He's got a bit more of a power play.
01:28:57He's got a bit more of a power play.
01:28:59He's got a bit more of a power play.
01:29:00He's got a bit more of a power play.
01:29:01Being able to attack Cameron White with a big lead.
01:29:04Oh, it's a good start too.
01:29:14That's a shout.
01:29:15Sitting on the pad, leading forward.
01:29:18It may have been outside the line, but it was a very confident shout.
01:29:24And that is very close, I reckon.
01:29:27Yeah, very confident shout there.
01:29:29Maybe just frackingly outside the line.
01:29:33Spinning past the stumps.
01:29:37That's got in.
01:29:37And it's been taken.
01:29:39It's a beautiful delivery there.
01:29:40He got in the right spot.
01:29:41The ball seamed away.
01:29:43Brian Broad, he played and missed a few times in the first innings.
01:29:46Not today.
01:29:49I think he used up all his luck in the first innings.
01:29:50Boudreaux, what do you reckon?
01:29:51Oh, good bowling from Pattinson though.
01:29:53He bowled well to Carlsen Iron.
01:29:55And he's just got the right length.
01:29:56He's bowled really well in the Sheffield Shield final.
01:29:59And he really deserves it.
01:30:01He's beaten the bat a lot.
01:30:02He beat the bat a lot in the first innings against Queensland.
01:30:06He only got one wicket.
01:30:07But today he started well.
01:30:09He looked good last night.
01:30:10But Ryan Broad, he's had a pretty good game.
01:30:1382 in the first innings.
01:30:14He missed out here today though.
01:30:1614.
01:30:17The ball was two for 45.
01:30:19Chris Lynn's made his way to the middle.
01:30:21Him and Lee Castellon just talking about what's going on out there.
01:30:24Is there a bit of swing?
01:30:24Bit of seam?
01:30:26How are we going to go about it?
01:30:28Chris Hartley reckons keeping wickets in hand.
01:30:30Lee Castellon's thinking four and six per over.
01:30:33We'll get there before tea.
01:30:35And we'll be celebrating like we've never celebrated before.
01:30:40Speaking of celebrations, Damien Fleming loves a celebration.
01:30:43What have we got for me today, Flem?
01:30:45What are we going to discuss?
01:30:50I think a lot about Chris Lynn, hopefully.
01:30:53He's been impressive in the Ford Ranger Cup games that we've seen.
01:30:57Got 100 in the last Shield game leading into this.
01:31:00And 40 when everyone else is playing and missing in between.
01:31:04I hope to see a fair bit of him today.
01:31:08Shot.
01:31:09Beautiful shot through the covers again.
01:31:12Pattinson slightly over pitching.
01:31:14Run races across the outfield and just trickle into the fence.
01:31:17Good chase and a valiant effort.
01:31:19But four more to Lee Castellon.
01:31:23Four.
01:31:24That's quick hands from Lee Castellon.
01:31:26Got himself into a good power position.
01:31:28Pulls it away for four.
01:31:30Two for 59.
01:31:32Over.
01:31:35That's a good shot though.
01:31:37Over cover for four.
01:31:38Lovely pitter timing by Lee Castellon.
01:31:44Doesn't really respond to your questions and sort of brushes you a fair bit.
01:31:49That's a boundary.
01:31:50Yes.
01:31:51Trickling.
01:31:53Yeah, another nice shot through the offside there by Lynn.
01:31:58Bowling.
01:31:59There's a wicket.
01:32:00Bryce McGann.
01:32:01A short ball.
01:32:03Christian looking to work it on the onside.
01:32:05He's missed it.
01:32:06He's been clean bowled.
01:32:09Well, well deserved for Bryce McGann.
01:32:11He'd been toiling all morning.
01:32:14Out of the rough.
01:32:15Just kept low a little bit.
01:32:17But really playing across the line.
01:32:23And exposing the stumps as well for Chris Lynn.
01:32:2721 and three for 107.
01:32:31Chris Simpson the skipper comes to the crease.
01:32:34He's been moved up the order.
01:32:35James Hopes has got that calf niggle.
01:32:38So he's not batting at the normal position of number five.
01:32:42And this is a good chance for Chris Simpson to improve on that average.
01:32:46Very talented player.
01:32:47Got middle stump there.
01:32:48He's gonna have his work cut out here against Bryce McGann.
01:32:50Who's picked up two for 31.
01:32:53And he's looking very dangerous.
01:32:56Gonna come back over the wicket to Simpson.
01:32:59Got a bat pad offside.
01:33:01Leg side and a slip.
01:33:05And we've got rid of BJ Flem.
01:33:07Good to see you back.
01:33:09Yeah, we've got a couple of emails that they didn't want BJ to finish that story.
01:33:14They wanted some good analysis.
01:33:17And that's why they've gone the big guns.
01:33:18Warren Fleming.
01:33:19Oh, that's out.
01:33:22That's a nick behind.
01:33:24Well bowled from Darren Pattinson.
01:33:26That's an area where he delivers a high percentage of his deliveries.
01:33:30He's rewarded now with Chris Simpson.
01:33:32The skipper's on his way for a duck.
01:33:34Yeah, it was a tentative shot.
01:33:35Chris Simpson didn't really commit to the stroke.
01:33:38And it just did enough.
01:33:39Just tailed away.
01:33:41Chris Simpson followed it.
01:33:42Good bit of bowling.
01:33:43And it's just carried to Matthew Wade.
01:33:46And Darren Pattinson continues to bowl well.
01:33:49And the Bulls, they're in real trouble here.
01:33:51They lose number four.
01:33:53And it's the skipper.
01:33:54Unfortunately, he goes for a duck.
01:33:57It's four for 108.
01:34:00Chris Hartley comes out.
01:34:01He is the reigning Sheffield Shield Player of the Year.
01:34:04He's had a wonderful season so far.
01:34:06And he'll be putting his head down and looking to finish the season on a high note.
01:34:16That's the over.
01:34:17Good over there from Pattinson.
01:34:19Picking up Chris Simpson.
01:34:20It's four for 108.
01:34:22Close goal.
01:34:23Oh, that's a cracking coverage off from Palsadine.
01:34:27Stand and deliver by Lika.
01:34:29And he brings up a 50.
01:34:32Just a great shot.
01:34:33Shot of the day.
01:34:33Absolutely smashed by Luke Palsadine.
01:34:36And then 50 for him.
01:34:38That's textbook.
01:34:40Beautiful shot.
01:34:43Comes with 80 balls.
01:34:43So a good scoring rate.
01:34:46Yeah, well, Stephen would have to be up there.
01:34:47Because I room with him too at home.
01:34:49Until we're about 18.
01:34:50And I'd imagine if you...
01:34:53I actually didn't room with Stephen now on tour.
01:34:54I always said, we always said to the managers, you know,
01:34:56we roomed together for 18 years at home.
01:34:58Surely we don't have to room together on tour as well.
01:35:01Well, what else have you got to say to each other?
01:35:03Well, when you're twins, you don't have to talk anyway.
01:35:05You've got ESP.
01:35:10That's wide and in the air.
01:35:12And through the gut.
01:35:13Went for it hard.
01:35:16And Karseldine now.
01:35:20Five boundaries.
01:35:23Well, that's a wide one.
01:35:24He goes again.
01:35:26That's a great shot from Karseldine.
01:35:28He probably could have leapt that and got a wide.
01:35:29But another boundary over cover for Karseldine.
01:35:33On to 62.
01:35:34Tell you what, Aaron Finch is looking like to get out of there.
01:35:38Doesn't need a caught one on the elbow.
01:35:43Oh, that's close, you know.
01:35:47No.
01:35:49Simon Fry.
01:35:51Don't think that's going over.
01:35:55The height of Wade and Hartley.
01:35:58Let's have a look here.
01:36:00Big angle.
01:36:02Maybe a bit of doubt there.
01:36:04Still got it.
01:36:04Probably going to hit leg.
01:36:05PJ.
01:36:09Cameron White.
01:36:10Would have taken that.
01:36:11Five wickets down.
01:36:12No James Hopes batting.
01:36:17Oh, that's a great shot.
01:36:19Lee Karseldine just punches it through mid-off for another boundary.
01:36:24He's had a few in this session.
01:36:26That's his seven.
01:36:30That is a superb shot.
01:36:32Don't worry about running for that.
01:36:33Out on the middle of the back.
01:36:40That's another nice shot.
01:36:41Short ball there from Bryce McGann.
01:36:43Pulled away to the deep mid-wicket boundary.
01:36:50Oh, that's close.
01:36:52Given.
01:36:53He's got one.
01:36:54Lee Karseldine.
01:36:56Trapped in front.
01:36:59Beautiful piece of bowling there by John Hastings.
01:37:01Close shout on Chris Hartley a couple of balls earlier that time.
01:37:04Plumb in front.
01:37:05Oh, maybe not.
01:37:11Hit him in line with the stumps.
01:37:12Is it going on to hit the stumps, Mark?
01:37:14What are your thoughts?
01:37:16Oh, hang on.
01:37:16I've just got into the commentary box.
01:37:18It was close.
01:37:19Bruce Oxford doesn't give many.
01:37:21He's more of a conservative umpire.
01:37:24It's pretty close.
01:37:26Ended with pretty good innings there.
01:37:27Lee Karseldine going for 75.
01:37:29He looked good.
01:37:30It's five for 155.
01:37:32Ben Cunning comes to the crease.
01:37:34James Hopes continues to slide down the order.
01:37:38That calf injury.
01:37:41And Ben Cunning, he'll play his shots.
01:37:43He's an entertaining batsman.
01:37:46And he comes to the crease after Lee Karseldine.
01:37:49His innings came to an end.
01:37:51And John Hastings is just getting this ball to tail back into the right handers
01:37:55and away from the left handers.
01:37:57To the bushrangers, persisting with some good fast bowling from one end
01:38:03and Bryce McGowan from the other.
01:38:04And they're starting to get stuck into this Queensland order.
01:38:12Two catches on the onside.
01:38:14A straight mid-on and a mid-wicket.
01:38:16And right on the money too.
01:38:19End of the over.
01:38:20Successful one.
01:38:20Five for 155.
01:38:28That's close.
01:38:32That's very close.
01:38:35Empire Friar deciding that one's going on.
01:38:37Probably to miss off stump.
01:38:39Not coming back enough.
01:38:41In my mind, this is out, junior.
01:38:43That was worth a shout, no doubt about it.
01:38:45And yeah, well, look, I don't know if it turned enough.
01:38:50It was just sliding on.
01:38:51It's very, very close.
01:38:52But just enough doubt in Simon Friar's mind.
01:38:56I'm just not sure whether that was coming back to hit off 100%
01:39:00and he gave it not out.
01:39:04Right on cue.
01:39:05Well done, Ben.
01:39:06That's gone for four.
01:39:07Well, that one went along the ground.
01:39:08We've seen Ben cutting, hit some big shots.
01:39:12That was in the air.
01:39:13Didn't you see it roll along the ground before?
01:39:15Well, I think it went over the square leg mid-wicket, didn't it?
01:39:18But when the air, it goes for six.
01:39:18If it bounces before the rope, it's four.
01:39:21No, that's gone in the air, mate.
01:39:22Let's see.
01:39:23See, it went over the infield.
01:39:23Oh, but how long?
01:39:25For about a third of the way, two thirds, it's rolled along the ground.
01:39:28Well, if it was a bit straight, it would have been caught.
01:39:31That's four, not a six.
01:39:35That's gone in the air and that will be caught.
01:39:38John Hastings, great catch mid-on.
01:39:41Bryce McGann gets wicket number three.
01:39:44Oh, I'm liking Ben cutting.
01:39:46That one was definitely in the air.
01:39:48Mark Ward, that's why it was a catch.
01:39:51John Hastings, he's a big man.
01:39:53And he moved it beautifully to catch that one.
01:39:57Again, throwing it up.
01:39:58That's his area, Ben cutting, but not quite getting enough under it.
01:40:04That's excellent technique.
01:40:05Reaction from cutting, he knows he's unlucky.
01:40:10But he has had a wonderful season, Ben cutting.
01:40:13He's got a lot of potential with bat and ball.
01:40:15It's on his way for six, six for one, six, two.
01:40:18Chris Swan coming in at number eight after the dismissal of Ben cutting.
01:40:23And you'll face Bryce McGann, who's got three wickets and bowling well.
01:40:29That one just drifting in late.
01:40:30That's a good catch by John Hastings.
01:40:35Get rid of Ben cutting, who was always looking like he was going to start hitting some long high balls.
01:40:43Oh, that's risky, that's risky.
01:40:53That's a good shot.
01:40:54Well, we've been yapping away from Chris Hartley.
01:40:56I think that's going for Thor.
01:41:00Michael Hill, it's a good effort, but I think we'll have a look at that.
01:41:03I think he might have timed his run just a fraction too late there.
01:41:09That's commitment, isn't it, on the last afternoon?
01:41:14Just a photo finish.
01:41:15Let's have a look.
01:41:19Oh, four, Phlegm.
01:41:23What do you reckon?
01:41:24Battery.
01:41:25Four.
01:41:26Four.
01:41:31Nicely worked down to fine leg there from Chris Hartley.
01:41:34Nicely worked down to fine leg there from Chris Hartley.
01:41:38McGann doing the chasing.
01:41:40And that was quite un-McGann-ly there.
01:41:45Six for 172.
01:41:49That's off the helmet or is it off the glove?
01:41:51Ah, it's out.
01:41:52Great catch.
01:41:53Matthew Wade.
01:41:55John Hastings bowls the bouncer and there's wicket number seven.
01:42:00Chris Swan's been caught behind.
01:42:02Oh, what a wonderful dismissal here.
01:42:06Good bowling from John Hastings and Matty Wade.
01:42:09You were just wondering whether the little man could just reach long enough to grab this one.
01:42:16So a half defensive, evasive action and Matty Wade, that's stuck, no problems whatsoever.
01:42:24And how happy is he?
01:42:25And the big man, John Hastings, picks up his second wicket.
01:42:29Relatively happy with that dismissal.
01:42:31For Chris Swan.
01:42:33And the in-swing bowler's out for four.
01:42:36And the Bulls are seven for 179.
01:42:39Luke Felben coming in at number nine.
01:42:43A decent average, 43.
01:42:44He's played in seven matches and a bit of a test for him today.
01:42:49This ball swinging reverse and Bryce McGann bowling well.
01:42:53So you get the feeling that Bush Rangers are going to wrap this
01:42:57Sheffield Shield final up pretty quickly.
01:42:59With all due respect to Felben.
01:43:03Hastings is getting that ball a hoop around.
01:43:05Yeah, big in-swing at first ball, June.
01:43:08They're trying to attack the stumps.
01:43:09John Hastings.
01:43:12With only one slip in place, you can imagine he'll be ducking in.
01:43:16Two catches on the onside.
01:43:22Oh, really close and given.
01:43:25First ball.
01:43:26Bruce Oxenford gives him an LBW and John Hastings on a hat-trick.
01:43:32Well, you just felt that was going to happen.
01:43:34And unfortunately for big Luke Felben, he was just a bit late on the shot.
01:43:37It swung back into him and trapped him right on the crease.
01:43:41Yeah, I don't think big Johnny Hastings has bowled two quicker balls than that.
01:43:45He has really let that one rip.
01:43:46And with the swing.
01:43:51That is absolutely blub.
01:43:54Well bowled from John Hastings.
01:43:55And how delighted is the big man.
01:43:58He has done this time and time again for the Bushrangers this year in all forms.
01:44:03And Matty Waite.
01:44:05The tall man and the small man of the Bushrangers both got big hearts.
01:44:10And they're on the verge now, the Bushrangers.
01:44:12Felben out.
01:44:13First ball for a duck.
01:44:14Eight for 179.
01:44:15So Cameron Boyce at age 20 comes to the crease.
01:44:26It's the end of the over so he won't be facing the hat-trick ball just yet.
01:44:33Team hat-trick ball though, June.
01:44:36Indeed.
01:44:37Bryce McGann will bowl to Chris Hartley.
01:44:40So the end is coming very quickly here.
01:44:42For the Bulls.
01:44:45It's just been relentless pressure from the Bushrangers really after day one.
01:44:49Where they're in a bit of trouble with the bat.
01:44:52They've dominated this game.
01:45:02Good shot from Hartley.
01:45:04He'll pick up a couple.
01:45:08You'd imagine James Hopes is not going to bat.
01:45:10He would have come by now.
01:45:12So probably just the one wicket needed.
01:45:16Oh, he's hit that.
01:45:18That cannot possibly be out.
01:45:19He's given out.
01:45:20Simon Frye has given Cameron Boyce out.
01:45:23And that will be the Sheffield Shield final to the Bushrangers.
01:45:27James Hopes will not bat.
01:45:29So they've won back-to-back Sheffield Shields.
01:45:32And they've been the most consistent team all year.
01:45:35And they get another victory.
01:45:3728-23.
01:45:40The title to the Victorians.
01:45:42And look at the delight here.
01:45:44There's been some experienced campaigner over the last few years.
01:45:47Nick Jewell, multiple Shield winner.
01:45:49Cameron Wright, David Hussey.
01:45:52And a lot of first-timers as well.
01:45:54Darren Pattinson.
01:45:55Damian Wright.
01:45:56What an incredible second half of the year for him.
01:45:59Wickets and runs.
01:46:00Michael Hill, 12th man as a youngster.
01:46:03Hopefully he'll get to experience playing in Shield finals down the track.
01:46:07Bobby Quiney.
01:46:08Was he going to play if Chris Rogers wasn't injured?
01:46:12And he got runs in the second inning.
01:46:13So this is the last one.
01:46:14That's obviously hit the pad first.
01:46:16No, it hasn't.
01:46:17That's bat-pad, that one.
01:46:19So the number 11, not for the first time,
01:46:22being gunned out as the game is going against their team.
01:46:25So delight for the Bushrangers.
01:46:27Plenty of stumps for memorabilia.
01:46:29Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:46:30welcome to the presentation of the Sheffield Shield for 2009 and 2010.
01:46:35It is the premier domestic competition right around the world.
01:46:38And Victoria and Queensland have been the top two dominant teams of this season.
01:46:42First up, congratulations to Cameron Wright and Greg Shippen,
01:46:45the whole team, for a magnificent win here at the MCG.
01:46:52And also to Chris Simpson and the Queensland Bulls.
01:46:57Getting to the player of the final,
01:46:58I'd like to introduce Tane Andrews from the Sanitarium Company
01:47:01to present the check for $4,000.
01:47:03It hasn't been an easy decision.
01:47:05Certainly on day one, it was a very difficult wicket to bat on,
01:47:10but for his fighting innings of 96,
01:47:13Matthew Wade is our player of the final.
01:47:17And well deserved.
01:47:23Bring Tane Andrews to come over and present the Sheffield Shield.
01:47:26Come forward, guys.
01:47:27You've deserved it.
01:47:28Back-to-back wins in the Sheffield final
01:47:32for 2009-2010 to Victorian Bushrangers.
01:47:45Well deserved for the Victorian Bushrangers,
01:47:47the winners of the Sheffield Shield for 2009 and 2010.
01:47:50On day one, well, it was all up in the balance
01:47:52because they were in a bit of trouble.
01:47:54It was six for 75.
01:47:55Bushrangers, they scrapped it out though.
01:47:57They made 305 and that's where they set it all up.
01:47:59Matthew Wade, our man of the match in the final.
01:48:0196 to him.
01:48:02Then the Bulls, they didn't get enough in their first innings
01:48:04and I reckon that's where it cost them.
01:48:05257.
01:48:07Broad made 82.
01:48:08And then all of a sudden, it was an avalanche of runs.
01:48:10David Hussey, 168.
01:48:12Declared eight wickets down for 591
01:48:15and batted the Bulls right out of the game.
01:48:17Thanks for your time.
01:48:17Thanks for your support throughout the summer.
01:48:19We'll see you next year.
01:48:20It's Victorian Bushrangers,
01:48:22the winners of the Sheffield Shield for 2009 and 2010.
01:48:31This has been a Fox Sports production.
