Symonds lead Bulls to easy win over Warriors

Andrew Symonds led Queensland to another victory over Western Australia today in the ING Cup one-day match at the Gabba.

After his unbeaten 75 helped the Bulls win yesterday's four-day Pura Cup match, Symonds scored 91 from 57 balls as Queensland cruised to a seven-wicket win.

In reply to Western Australia's disappointing total of 7-189 from 50 overs, the Bulls were 3-191 after 29.5 overs, securing a bonus point for winning inside 40 overs.

Symonds and Jimmy Maher (71 from 81 balls) helped the Bulls recover from 2-10 after Matthew Hayden (zero) and Martin Love (two) fell in the opening three overs.

Hayden was run out with a direct hit from Simon Katich before Love edged Brad Williams to wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.

But Symonds took over, passing 50 for only the second time in a domestic one-day match for Queensland.

He hit 13 fours and two sixes, following his match-winning knock of 75 not out from 43 balls yesterday.

Symonds and Maher combined for a 129-run partnership in 106 balls before Symonds fell to a catch by Williams at third man from the bowling of Kade Harvey.

Earlier, young off-spinner Nathan Hauritz (3-23 from eight overs) starred for the Bulls after he was only called into the team this morning to replace injured swing bowler Adam Dale (shoulder).
