slower ball deceives him and he lofts it high to mid on, Hopes and Simpson completely confuse each other and both of them forget to take the catch

Full commentary
The Vics have done it, they're through to their fifth consecutive Big Bash final with a convincing win over the Bulls tonight at the Gabba.
Ben Dunk and James Hopes recovered the bulls innings to post a competitive total of 149. But it was the David Hussey show, guiding the Vics to an easy victory with some big hitting despite the Vics at times looking vulnerable.
Not surprisingly Hussey was named man of the match for a great 60 off 39 balls and a very economical 4 overs with the ball.
The Bushrangers wrap up a spot in the Twenty20 Champions League and advance to play the Redbacks this Saturday night at Adelaide Oval. Please do join us then for coverage of the big final.
From me, Andrew Fuss, thankyou for your company tonight and have a good night.
