MATCH REPORT
Ponting won the toss and elected to bat first, on what looked like a bowlers wicket. Victoria made him pay for his mistake, getting Di Venuto out first ball of the match. The next ball went for 5 wides from the uncontrollable seam. On the last ball of the over, Potning was clean bowled by Inness. Cunningham wasn't too sure batting on this wicket, surviving an LBW appeal first ball. But 4 balls later was comprehensivley bowled by Inness. Dighton had some luck while he was in, edging his first ball over the top of Berry, then getting caught off a no-ball a few balls later. But 2 overs later was out, chopping a ball back onto the stumps. The fielding wasn't up to scratch for teh Vics, with Harvey misfielding, and conceding a boundary. Marsh, Watson, and Clinglefer got the score to 86 runs. Inness was the detroyer with 5/30 off his 10 overs. Lewis had 2/39, and Warne had 2/1 off his over.
The match was basically over before this innings started, but Tasmania wanted to get as much out of this innings as they could. Wright bowled a well pitched up ball, which was edged to gully by Moss for a duck. Rummans was next out, edging it to the keeper for only 5. Elliot was next out, also edging the ball to the keeper for a well made 24. Hodge and Hussey were at the crease now, and they blasted away from the blocks. Hussey smashed his way to an unbeat 34*, while Hodge was contempt in playing rash strokes, only making 19*. Victoria won the match by 7 wickets, and 36 overs remaining. The MOTM was awarded to Matthew Innes for his figures of 5/30. Victoria play Western Australia next at the MCG.
