       A comprehensive win for Victoria, gaining a bonus point for
        dismissing their opponents reasonably cheaply
       It looked ominous at the start of the innings as Tasmania got off
        to a blistering start
       But after the openers fell in quick succession, the visitors really
        struggled to put partnerships together
