Ben Edmondson and Steve Magoffin upended their former state as Queensland fell to an innings loss inside seven sessions at the Gabba. The fast bowlers moved to Western Australia in search of opportunities and they reminded the Bulls of what they had missed, picking up four wickets each and knocking the home side over for 133.
The Bulls began the day at 3 for 88 but were soon in trouble after losing Craig Philipson for 15 when he was bowled by Brett Dorey. Giving the hosts no chance of a recovery, Edmondson broke through James Hopes, Chris Hartley and Andy Bichel in four overs to stop Queensland's thoughts of making Western Australia bat again.
Steve Magoffin removed Ashley Noffke and Daniel Doran in three balls and ended the game before lunch when he dismissed Nathan Rimmington in his next over. Magoffin claimed 4 for 21 off 12.2 overs while Edmondson picked up 4 for 46.
Shane Watson, the No. 3, was trying to impress as he aimed for a World Cup spot, but he ran out of partners and was stranded on 46 not out. The outright loss was Queensland's third in a row at the Gabba.
