Brett Dorey, the Western Australia fast bowler, is expected to be fit for the ING Cup game against Victoria on Saturday despite suffering a leg injury yesterday. Dorey complained of tightness in his quadriceps during the five-wicket win against Victoria and left the field, but he showed promising signs during a recovery session this morning.

The Western Australia selectors named an unchanged squad for the return fixture against Victoria at the Junction Oval in Melbourne. The Australian players Damien Martyn, who scored 110 yesterday, Justin Langer, Adam Gilchrist and Mike Hussey will all make the trip.

Tim Paine is in line for an ING Cup debut after replacing Michael Dighton, the opening batsman, for Tasmania's match against New South Wales at the SCG on Sunday. Dighton broke his hand during the two-wicket loss to Queensland at the Gabba on Friday.
