there it is, bowled him, a straight ball on off, Doherty just misses on the pull shot and the celebrations begin
Victoria vs Tasmania, Final at Melbourne, Feb 27 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary
They come from everywhere to celebrate, all scurrying to grab a stump as a momento. Finally the Vics have won a One Day Final, the first since the 1998-1999 season.
The Tigers started well restricting the Vics to just 3/75 off their first 20 overs. After cruising to 2/54, Andrew McDonald changed the course of the game with two wickets in an over as the Tigers collapsed.
Hodge swung hard and led the Vics into an imposing position before Nannes finished the job in stage two. Nannes - with 3/29 - was named Man of the Match.
That's all from me, thanks for your company today and congratulations to the Victoria Bushragners, 2010-2011 Ryobi Cup Champions. Good night

What a spell from Dirk Nannes, brilliant bowling as he finishes with 3/29. Will go very close to Man Of The Match.

The run rate required now up over 10, it would take a miracle for the Tigers now.
