Why do Victoria bother opening with Mott ?? He is useless

I would rather play the extra bowler and open up with another player. Hodge basically is playing as an opener at present anyway....lol

Tassie declared on 7/249, 257 behind. Reasonable move as they weren't going to get any points by batting on but there's a glimmer of hope going this way.

They either crash through and chase 360 odd for a win or chase more if The Bushies want to set them a target. 32 overs left today and 96 tomorrow.

Mott went for a duck. 1/6 after 4 overs.

Thats Tasmanias one and only tactic.........declare behind and make it a run chase.

That brand of cricket won't win them a Pura Cup

Lol. JLC is too predictable.

Elliott just keeps piling them on. He's 63 n.o. out of 2/104 at stumps.

The Bushies are 349 ahead.

A nice even 6/100 for Warne for the match was a good workout. He'll only get better.

The star of the game was Matthew Elliott. 268 for once out.

Warne stars as Victoria romp home

Wisden Cricinfo staff

Victoria beat Tasmania by 218 runs in their Pura Cup match at the MCG today. Victoria needed only three overs after tea to take the last three wickets and dismiss Tasmania for 221. Shane Warne had Xavier Doherty stumped for 2 to end the game and he finished the second innings with figures of 4 for 51.

Warne took six wickets in the match and is expected to be named tomorrow for the Tests against Sri Lanka. Michael Dighton top-scored for Tasmania with a breezy 54 from 41 balls before he was stumped off Warne. Tasmania were set a near impossible victory target of 440 from 75 overs and were never in the hunt throughout the last innings. Daniel Marsh was the only other batsman who passed 30 and enlivened the innings with an energetic 48. His innings included eight fours and a six.

Victoria declared their second innings before lunch at 2 for 194, with Matthew Elliott and Jon Moss unbeaten on 102 and 79 respectively. Elliott top scored in the first innings with 166 and became the first Victorian batsman to score six Pura Cup centuries in a season. Elliott is also only 235 runs away for the most runs scored by a Victorian in a season.
