Rain has delayed the start of play on Day 3, apparently heavy rain over night & light drizzle in the morning. The covers were still on at 11.30 & players hadn't been out for warm ups at all...

Interesting. Victoria declared 89 runs behind and The Tigers are going for quick runs.

They are 1/77 with Watson on 43 n.o. from 37 balls and Cox is 30 n.o. Inness has the only wicket.

That's a lead of 166 so we can expect a declaration sometime after lunch. Could be fun.
----------------------------------------------

The Tigers' lead is 200 as Watson continues to score quickly. He's 59 n.o. from 49 balls and Cox is 44 n.o.

Cox was run out by Hussey for 54.

Watson is motoring on towards his century with 77 n.o. from 72 balls.
------------------------------

Dighton (9) hits one from Moss straight down Hodge's throat at deep square leg.

Donny · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 1:46 pm

Watson moves on to 94 n.o. from 94 balls and Tassie lead by 257 with 5 wickets in hand.

Wise dismissed Marsh for 3.
----------------------------------------------

Cam White comes on and takes a wicket and Watson completes an excellent century - 102 from 100 balls - and celebrates with two sixes.

6/201 and a lead of 290.

Tasmania lead by 296 runs with 4 wickets remaining

Tassie are 6/207

Watson 117 n.o
Clingleffer 7 n.o

Wickets are tumbling at Bellerive. Looks like they won't have to worry about when to declare.

Watson made 117 from 107 balls. Moss has 4/60 and White, 2/26.

The lead just reached 300 and they are 9 down.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Unless this last pair hang around, The Bushies will need 5 r.p.o. to win.

The Prototype · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:21 pm

I think it's time to either throw the bat and get out and try and win the game, or declare and try and win the game. Seeing as both batsmen in are only bowlers anyway seems they might aswell declare.

The Prototype · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:26 pm

Marsh calls the batsmen in leaving the Bushrangers 312 to win off a minimum of 65 overs

Tasmania 9/222dec.

Denton 5 n.o
Doherty 4 n.o

Victoria 0/3

Elliott 1
Mott 1

Dave, get down there mate. Should be a good watch. Probably free to get in as well.

The Vics need 5 r.p.o. to win this. Could hardly be better practice for the final - for both teams.

The Prototype · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:55 pm

Yeah, going to be a great finish, hopefully the final will be the same, should make for an exciting end to the Aussie cricket season.

First Victorian wicket falls, Mott lbw b Wright 5

Vics are 1/19 and require another 293 runs with 9 wickets and 58.4 overs remaining.
