Queensland were in a dominant position in a match of the Sheffield Shield against Victoria, at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. Victoria were bowled out for 119 in their first innings on the first day of play. In reply, the hosts amassed 202 for the
loss of three wickets in their first innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JR-Hopes-c1744 won the toss for Queensland and he elected to field first. There was some moisture beneath the wicket, which forced the home team to put Victoria into bat.
The decision proved to be a right one, as the visitors struggled to get going. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Dean-Stray-c93391, who only managed
on run in his short stay at the crease.
This brought the Victorian captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Keath-c986 also lasted for just four balls, adding two runs to the total, and he was followed
by Robert Quinney, who scored 10 runs for his team.
Wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 got out after scoring five runs, sinking his team deeper in trouble. The visitors were threatened to be bowled out within 50 runs, as they had lost six wickets for 21 runs.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 paired at the crease for a 55 run stand to take their score closer to 100, but Maxwell got out after scoring a quick-fire 38 off 41 balls.
Siddle managed 20 runs before getting out, and the team was struggling to go into three figures. However, 22 runs from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jayde-Matthew-Herrick-c66694 ensured that the team reached 119 runs, before all batsmen were sent back to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Luke-Feldman-c1854 was in menacing form, as he took six wickets in the innings for the hosts. He got good support from his captain, as Hopes grabbed two wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ryan-Broad-c2384 started the innings for Queensland, and the pair started confidently. However, both openers failed to capitalize on their starts, as they got out after scoring 18 runs each.
The first-drop http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chris-Lynn-c1246 in the middle.
The pair batted sensibly and scored an unbeaten century stand for the fourth wicket. They took their team’s total over 200 with a 118 run partnership, and extended their first innings lead to 83 runs. At close of play, Lynn was unbeaten on 59 whereas; Hopes
was not-out on 64.
