Looking forward to it. Hard to say how the lads will perform with this obviously being the first match of the season, but I'm confident we can get a good result. I think the new competition will suit the likes of Carseldine, Reardon, Simmo and Philipson... plus we've got a solid bowling attack in this form of the game.

This'll be an awesome match.

Really not to sure who to tip. I'll go QLD in a tight one.

Cmon Bulls! .

As Panthers said, being the first game of the season, not sure how we'll perform but should be a quality match.
Still trying to work out these new rules too but I guess ill have to wait to see how they go during the game.

Yeah will be interesting to see how this game pans out and all with the new rules. Will also be quite a challenenge for Hopes and Bailty, being captain in a game they will be experiencing for the first time

Wow what a game!

Tasmania get up by 5 runs. Rimmington was amazing towards the end, 42 off 24 not out! Queensland needed 17 off the last over but with 2 Rimmington 4's they got it to 8 off 3. Then Rimmington needed a 6 off the last ball to win but got cleaned bowled.

I didn't watch the match but from what people have told me, they liked the format. Thoughts?
