The next edition of the Tasmania V Victoria rivalry started this morning with an important shield game between 2nd placed Tasmania & 3rd placed Victoria in Hobart.
Evenly poised with the Vics 2/72.
Hilfy had two early wickets before Finch & MCcDonald have steadied the ship.

Navy's normally pretty confident about his Tassie boys but not sure how they will bounce back from Wednesdays loss.

Odd comment. One of our best players expresses disappointment and this translates to a sense of entitlement. It would be (and was) different when Horry got upset, but Mr Cricket has a golden summer and is probably in our best 2-3 one-day players (ie fielding, batting, running).
Some very tough markers in this place.
(PS I wanted Hussey out for the first test; I have previously acknowledged I was wrong!)
Agree with this.
The selectors haven't made a call on Hussey's ability - they've made a call on his fitness.

What's the risk? You word Callum up that he is next in line and he should be ready in case; you take Huss to India, he doesn't come up, Callum flies in. It's a ten hour flight - hardly the Carribean! This is pretty much what is happening with Ponting...
Victoria & Tas very evenly poised at stumps on a typical lively Bellerive wicket.
Victoria all out for 233 with Tasmania 3/74 in reply.
Shapes as a good game with outright result a near certainty.

Typically close Tas V Vic game comes to its conclusion today with all 3 results still possible.
Tas chasing 319 runs to win are 4/168. Needing another 151 runs off 48 overs.
Gun Tasmanian batsman George Bailey holds the key currently on 88.

Normal order is restored as Tasmania knocked off Victoria today to consign Victoria's shield aspirations to the scrapheap. :'(
Skipper George Bailey finished with a lazy 160 not out from his teams 5/320 to win with 7 overs remaining & near guarantee his side a place in the shield final.
Good win that by Navy's Tassie boys.

End of an era for the Bushwackers.
Have been a bit stiff with injuries this year with McKay, Rogers and McDonald missing large chunks of the season. Can't complain about players missing for national duties because every state has those.
