Hodge turns his attention to FR Cup

Brad Hodge will use Victoria's one-day game against Western Australia on Wednesday to try and end his batting slump after he made 2 and 0 in the Pura Cup on the weekend. Hodge and Clinton McKay have been included in Victoria's 12-man squad while the Warriors welcome their international trio of Adam Gilchrist, Michael Hussey and Brad Hogg.

Hodge said the Bushrangers would need to put their comprehensive 288-run Pura Cup loss to Western Australia behind them. "It's been a tough few days but we've all got to pick ourselves up and bounce back as best we can," he said.

"Naturally I'd like to get back amongst the runs, but it's also important to stay focused on the game and helping the Bushrangers get the points. Tomorrow's match is another opportunity for me and all the guys to play the sort of cricket we know we're capable of."

Victoria have left out Andrew McDonald, who will miss two to three weeks as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery, and Mick Lewis. The Warriors have dropped Aaron Heal, Shawn Gillies and Matt Johnston, and have also included two wicketkeepers with Luke Ronchi likely to open and Gilchrist to bat in the middle order.
