Bailey and Birt as always hold down the middle order for the Tigers, guiding them to a comfortable victory at North Sydney Oval.
The Blues just started too tentatively, only really saved by a big hitting effort from Steve Smith at number 7.
We've seen 21 sixes here today, always a great ground for ODD cricket. My call of 300 being a par score ended up being pretty close to the mark, The Blues I think knew they were 20 or 30 short of a competitive tota.
The Tigers weren't even forced to use all of their batting Powerplay. Travis Birt was again exciting and must be pushing towards Australian 20/20 or ODI selection. The more people that get to see him play the better
That's all from me, Andrew Fuss, good night.
