Tassie 171/5 (68.3 ov)

Good bowling so far but Tasmania score very well in thier second innings when give the chance. Need to bowl them out for less than 300..........
 
Tasmania 8/224 in 96 overs. That is one slow day!

The biggest culprits:

Cox 40 (145)
Griffith 7* (58)
Downton 3* (44)

Current Partnership: 16 runs, 15.4 overs, RR: 1.02

Snore.

Well... they are tailenders and were batting in the final hour of the 1st days play. They just need to stick around

The pitch must be an absolute shocker. Tassie bat slow at the best of times but it looks as though the go slow tactics were justified. One more wicket just after lunch would be nice, Queensland have a tail of Jurgensen, Dawes, MacKenzie and Simpson. Can't say I've ever heard of MacKenzie or Simpson.
 
Who has the wickets for Tassie?
Tassie could be setting up another win.
They don't usually win 2 in a row until there is no chance of making the final.
 
over before it's starterd.

Queensland's season is in dire straights. An outright defeat would put them a long way outside shield contention.

Queensland 104 all out.

Wright 4/30. Griffith, Downton and Denton 2 each.

Queensland really are in a trough. I know they're missing some players, but they've shown in the past they have depth...
 
Just about to start play again after tea.

Tas 1/24 (7.0)

Cox 4
Mason 19*

Lead by 153 with 9 wickets remaining. As ****ed as we would be without Wright, I hope he gets the chance to at least play for Australia A. Probably end up 12th man :(
 
The one question mark I have with Damian Wright is, Does he have enough genuine pace to worry international players?
Very much an under-rated player though and does deserve an A-team selection

This would have to be the worse start for a Queensland team for a decade if they lose this.

Having said that, the team will be better and very dangerous when Kasper, Maher,Symonds and Bichel if not 12th man for Test team are back. Hayden rarely gets the opportunity to play for the Bulls these days, so he does not come into calculations.

Does McGrath have enough genuine pace? No, he is only usually around 135kmh...about where Wright is I think...but McGrath bowls line and length, same as Wright so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. The only problem with Wright that I have noticed is that when he gets taken to, he sometimes gets rattled and doesn't recover - meaning he gets expensive and puts the ball everywhere except where he usually does. Hasn't happened a lot that I have seen, but can happen.
 
Wright doesn't take enough wickets in the longer version of the game for my liking. He has an unspectacular first-class career average of 32.

I think he would be a good addition to the one day side with his ability to keep things tight. But he's obviously not at the forefront of the selectors minds when he can't get a game with our entire first choice attack injured.

Barring a miracle it is just about all over. Queensland need another 254 with only three wickets remaining. Downton and Denton 3 wickets a piece, Wright has the other.

Top of the table we go :)
 
Tassie ended up winning by 170 odd runs and jump to the top of the table.

Damien Wright MOM with 7 wickets and 60 runs in the second innings.
 
Good cricketer Dan Marsh, I reckon he would just about be worth a shot in the Australia A side, not like there are a hell of a lot of other all rounders (especially ones who can bowl spin) standing in front of him.
