Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11.00 AEDT (00.00 GMT)

       good morning and welcome to a chilly Bellerive oval.  Overcast
        conditions and a stiff south westerly will greet the players as
        they make their way onto the arena.
       An unchanged Tigers line up will be looking for a better result
        than last weeks draw against the Redbacks, but facing a Blues
        lineup loaded with batting talent and a pitch that looks choc-a-
        block full of runs the Tassie bowlers have quite a task ahead of
       Blues skipper Steven Waugh has won the toss and elected to bat.

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Stumps on another day that belonged to the batsmen.  The Blues are
        in a strong position with a lead of 223 runs and only requiring 5
        more Tigers wickets.
       Overall a disappointing day for the Tasmanians with nearly all
        batsmen getting a start but failing to go on with it.
       Join us tomorrow for the third days play from Bellerieve commencing
        at 11:00 am AEDT.

Match State: Stumps - Day 3

       A day of mixed fortunes with the Tigers losing their last 5 wickets
        this morning for the addition of only 46 runs.
       Blues skipper Steven Waugh then decided against enforcing the
        follow on, but his re-jigged batting line up failed to fire,
        scoring 208 runs for the loss of 8 wickets before declaring.  This
        left the tigers with a target of 386 runs in a minimum of 108 ov
       So the game is set up for an exciting finish tomorrow.
       Join us again at 11:00 am AEDT for the resumption of play.
       Good moring and welcome to Bellerive for the resumption of play.
