A convincing win there for the Victorians, picking up a bonus point for bowling the Warriors out for less than 244. The Vics continue to show why they are favourites to make the final of the Ford Ranger Cup.

A brilliant ton from Brad Hodge supported by David Hussey and an incredible 49 from 19 by Matthew Wade. Despite a bit of resistance from Robinson and Ronchi, it was all too easy for the Vics, with Hastings and McGain doing most of the damage with the bal

Not surprisingly Brad Hodge has been named man of the match.

That's all from me for tonight, but join us again from 11.15am AEDT for NSW v Tasmania from North Sydney Oval. Good night
