Ryobi One-Day Cup, Western Australia set up season’s opening victory
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Liam-Davis-c1839 cruised to his second ton in a week to earn Western Australia its opening victory of the
season.
Davis followed his unbeaten knock of 116 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 with 125-ball 108 as the Warriors chased away Victoria's 236 for 8 with nine balls to spare. Erlier it was Michael Hogan's maiden five-wicket haul that restricted the
Bushrangers’ to a getable 45-overs total of 238.
The centurion shared an imperative 176-run stand with Marcus North to set up Western Australia on their way to a seven wicket win. The Warriors took a lead of 27 runs after the first two innings and the partners - Davis and North -
were tranquil when they returned, adding 176 to the scorecard for the third wicket. Marcus North, who is gearing up for the next month’s home Ashes against England, finished with a gratifying unbeaten 94 from 97 deliveries plundering seven muscular boundaries
and a six.
The maiden hundred of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 provided Victoria Bushrangers a chance to post after the side struggled to 80 for 2 from its opening 20 overs. The time Wade came to the crease, the Victorian side was reeling at 85 for 4. He shared
a half-century stand with the skipper David Hussey to put the side on its way to a respectable total.
After losing Hussey in the 36th over at 161, he steadily built the total sharing useful stands with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/William-Sheridan-c2797 and Peter Siddle. The wicketkeeper batsman cruised to his hundred pulling a massive six off the penultimate
ball of the innings. Wade finished for 81-ball 101 included 11 boundaries and two sixes as the Victorians mustered 236 from their allotted 45 overs.
