[Donny]

And off to a good start with 8 from the first over.

[Canberra]

And a dropped catch. Good stuff.

[Donny]

Elliott out for 11 to Watson.

4 overs gone. 0/26.
-----------------------------------------

After 16 overs, The Bushies are 4/63 and in a spot of bother.

Watson has bowled well for 2/15 from 6 overs. Hussey is 17 n.o.
--------------------

Now in deeper trouble with Hussey and White both gone. 6/83.
-----------------------------------------

Berry and McDonald have added 62 @ 4.5 r.p.o. Berry is 41 from 45 balls.
------------------------------------------------------

Berry is playing a top hand here. He's 64 from 62 balls and just hit his second six.
----------------------------------

The partnership of 96 just came to an end with Berry's wicket. 7/179.

[Donny]

Shane Warne returns to the big time. Well one step from the real big time.

He was dismissed for 7. The Vics are 8/191 in the 45th. over. McDonald is 33 n.o.
------------------------------------

McDonald goes for 40. All out for 218 in the 50th. over.

Butterworth and Kremerskothen each took 3 wickets.

[Donny]

Tassie off to a good start.

In the 12th. over, they are 1/60
----------------

Now 3/82 after 19. The Vics have pulled it back with 11 runs from the last 5 overs. White and Lewis bowling well.

[Donny]

Warney on to bowl.

First ball, good leggie pitched on off stump and spins away. Second ball, well flighted, hits Marsh on the full. Out !!

Wicket maiden.

[Donny]

34 needed from 60 balls.

Watson went for 63 from 71 balls and has probably done enough to earn Man of the Match in a winning team.
-------------------------------------------

The Bushies are fighting it out well but Tassie is hanging on.

The Tigers win their first game of the ING Cup for the season.

Victoria will almost certainly miss out on an ING Cup finals berth. The Bulls' 2 bonus points, last night, has virtually assured a Warriors/Bulls final.

The slim chance for The Bushies is to win with a bonus point in the last game against W.A. and for The Bulls to lose against The Redbacks in Adelaide.
