The Blues are chasing 245 for victory.

Brad Hodge scored 'a delightful' (Benaud) century - 101 from 115 balls -and Nicholson was expensive but picked up 3 wickets.

Katich and Thornely opened for The Blues and after 4 overs, they are 0/13.

Thornely was dismissed by Cam White in his first over as Bushrangers' skipper. He made 33 and The Blues are 1/77 with Katich on 41 n.o.

The Blues are cruising, on the back of a great centuty from Simon Katich.

He is 131 from 123 balls. Top knock. Jaques just went, for 31 from 30.

3/239, needing just 6 to win.

Good effort by Hodgey. I'm tired of seeing the Bushrangers bat poorly. When ae we gonna produce some batsmen

Man, what's Katich doin' here and not in India? He was seeing it like a football today. And did everybody like Darren Berry's "back-stop" helmet? Would be even better if he could see the ball though, it generally helps in a stumping chance.

I hope this game wasn't a sign of things to come from Victoria this season! Razz

Michael Slater: 2 runs from 11 balls. His defensive blocks were the most outstanding of the match. Go the run machine!

Slater came out when 6 runs were needed for victory what did you want him to do? He was trying to not get out which was sensible, had he gone out tried to hit a 6 straight off and made a duck then we would have made fun of that too unbelievable.

LOL ok cool! Smile

Good question about him batting so far down the order. I only know that last year it was said that he wanted to bat down the order to take some pressure off himself but if that's true or not I don't know. Michael Slater at number five and Mark Waugh at number six is just a bit odd for me I hope this is not a permanent thing.
