CL White4/10 (2)

With all due respect to White, one of the most bizzare four wicket hauls I've seen. Three pretty average deliveries take wickets then he gets a dodgy LBW, but you take the good with the bad.

But a comprehensive win by the Victorians, set up by Man of the Match Brad Hodge's 73. The win gives the Bushrangers top spot ahead of the Warriors and Blues who both have two wins.

For the Warriors, they would be very disappointed being bowled out for 105 on a great deck. Marsh and Davis gave them a chance but Harwood's two early wickets turned the momentum before White cleaned up the tail

Thankyou for joining me for tonight's match, make sure you log on tomorrow night for the 20/20 clash between Queensland and South Australia at the Gabba. Coverage starts at 7.30pm AEST. Until then, good night.
