New South Wales v Victoria at Sydney, 13 Feb 2005

Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Match start at 10.00am AEDT (2300 GMT)

       Welcome to our coverage of the final match of the ING Cup
        preliminary series
       Today's encounter sees New South Wales host Victoria at the Sydney
        Cricket Ground
       A crucial game for Victoria - a virtual semi final - as they
        currently sit one point behind Tasmania in 3rd place
       A win today, or even so much as a tie, will propel the Victorians
        into the second spot for a rendezvous at the Gabba against
        Queensland in the final next Sunday
       Their opponents New South Wales sit on the bottom of the
        competition points table and regardless of today's result will
        remain there
       But one should not be fooled by ladder positions; with the
        inclusion of four Australian players - Clarke, Katich, Lee and
        McGrath - this NSW line up looks a formidable opponent as any
       This match certainly looms as an intriguing contest

       So its all over, New South Wales end their disappointing ING Cup
        season with a win, thanks to some fine individual performances
        from Brad Haddin and Glenn McGrath
       A costly loss for Victoria, they won't be playing in this season's
        one-day final finishing an agonising one point short of second
        place
       The final will see Queensland hosting Tasmania at the Gabba next
        Sunday
