Redbacks v. Bulls - ING Cup

S.A. won the toss and fielded.

Stuart Law was out for 28 from 31 balls and, after 17 overs, The Bulls are 2/78.

The Redbacks need to win this with a bonus point to give the Bushies a place in the final. They have no particular incentive except to salvage some pride so lets hpoe they're a very proud team. Very Happy

4/189 in the 39th. over as Lehmann claims Philipson for 48. Perren is 44 n.o.
-----------------------------------------

The Bulls got 268. That's a tough ask for The Redbacks to get in 40 overs. That's what they'll have to do to get a bonus point. 6.7 r.p.o.

Things don't look good for The Bushies.

At 2/126 in the 27th., it looks like curtains for Victoria.

Deitz is 32 n.o. and Lehmann, 24 n.o.

Other than the Hookes connection, The Redbacks have no particular reason to try to help The Bushies by attempting a win in 40 overs.

Why SHOULD anyone else help the Bushpigs ??? Let them qualify/win/lose on their own merits.

A Man of the Match performance from Nathan Hauritz (4/39) got The Bulls home AND a home final.

Lehmann played a brilliant hand - 75 from 59 balls - but it wasn't enough as The Redbacks fell 5 runs short.

I hope WA does a better job next week then they did against Victoria yesterday. Is Lehmann's injury bad? Looked like he was struggling with that knee.
