Victoria vs West Aust, Final at Perth, Jan 13 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary
They're a happy unit out there, the Bushrangers. Hussey leads the celebrations, as fireworks erupt in the sky. Lovely scenes over the WACA. Victoria have only lost one game in the last three years of this competition. Wow. Third year in a row, a hat-trick of victories for the Bushrangers. They love playing Twenty20, don't they?
Well, its all finished rather quickly. Hope you've enjoyed the action.
Thanks for tuning into Cricinfo again. Until next time, this is Jamie Alter signing off on behalf of all of us here. Cheers!
banged in short, he makes room and swats, but misses all ends up
full outside off, he makes room and slashes past point, an overthrow gets him a second, but it doesn't matter
Harwood to bowl. He looks fatigued.
So, 35 needed from the last over.
short ball over his head, Edmondson ducks and wide is not called
WA are nine down. Shambles. Victoria are beaming. Every one of 'em.
you miss, I hit! Dorey backs away, misses, and Nannes makes contact, simple as can be ... good piece of bowling, full and straight, and there wasn't much the tailender could do
full outside off, he backs away and misses ... and thats game, set, and match
and the main man goes! Its a high full toss, Marsh tries to smash it over midwicket but cannot beat White at mid-on, and a fine innings comes to an end
smart throw! Hit straight down the ground, Hussey fields at long-on and fires a smart, flat direct hit to get rid of Heal ... you cant keep Hussey out of the action!
huge hit! Marsh stands his grounds and lofts it over mid-off, the balls in the air for ages and Hodge steadies himself at long-off but can only look on as it goes right over him
Excellent over. All the pressure on WA. Its down to Marsh. Or not?
backs away, Hastings sees him and fires it in full and Heal just gets bat on it
full toss outside off stump, Heal backs away and slaps two over point
well bowled, yorker outside off and its steered to short third man
full in the slot, Marsh carves across the line out to Hodge at long-on, who fumbles as the ball almost spins across him, but recovers well to fire in a full flat throw
slower ball, full outside off stump, Heal backs away and dribbles to cover
full outside off, Marsh reaches across and drives one to mid-on
Hastings back into the attack
Thats a top over from Hussey to end his spell. The equations tough for WA.
fires in a low full toss on leg and Marsh retains strike with a dab to point
superb ball, speared into leg stump and Marsh cant work it away
What can Marsh do now? 74 off 47 balls ...
comes out and drills a good length ball to mid-off
tossed up on middle and leg, he makes room and drives into the covers
speared into leg stump, he uses his feet and drives to mid-off
That was a decent innings from Doropoulos. The tension builds.
well snapped up! Hussey fires it in full on the stumps and Doropoulos hits it back to him for a low catch as Victoria dig in further!
