Queensland @ Victoria

On the Bulls, think they are good value at $2.15.  Victoria do have Hodge back, but first game back from injury I don't expect that much of him.  Queensland welcome back Symonds, although I don't expect much from him the Bulls have a solid batting lineup anyhow.  The Vics are strong in bowling, but their batting lineup will rely too heavily on Hodge.

 

worth a shot gun, but the vics are deserved favourites imo

I agree JT - the Vics bowling attack is fearsome, and at 4 / 97 after 28 the Bulls are in severe trouble.  Just couldn't go past the value on the Bulls here - probably to my detriment.

 

The match is at the MCG.

The pitch is a belter, so the Vics should be able to chase the total down, however the pressure of chasing may be enough to get the Bulls home.  They need to take an early wicket in Hodge and be perfect in the field.  Books have them at $2.90.  I reckon they're a chance with a big effort.

Victoria in a little trouble at 2 for 19, but I won't be comfortable until Hodge is out.

 

C'mon Queenslander

Danger partnership here for the Bulls, McDonald and Hodge.  If this isn't broken early we could be in trouble

GL mate. Looking sweet sans Hodge

Thanks AB. Vics are now 5 for 50, Laughlin is the man to thank, some amazing yorkers and swing action - nearly got a hattrick.

Vics are now 6 for 50 after 16 overs.  What the hell, I'm claiming the victory already, bank that farkin paper
