Khawaja falls to Boland late as Victoria put clamps on Queensland

Queensland 106 for five (Khawaja 31, Boland 2-25) path Victoria 300 for 7 dec (Harris 73, Handscomb 66, Wildermuth 3-49) by 194 runs

Victoria declared at 300 for 7 quickly after lunch on day two. In reply, Queensland slumped to 42 for 3 earlier than limping to 106 for six at stumps, with Jimmy Peirson and Jack Wildermuth each unbeaten.

Victoria resumed play on Friday at 201 for 4, however Sutherland solely added two runs to his in a single day rating earlier than shouldering arms to a Gurinder Sandhu supply that jagged again and struck the highest of off stump. Sam Harper fell for a 17-ball duck to cut back Victoria to 213 for six.

Queensland’s innings began poorly, with Matt Renshaw edging O’Neill to first slip. The Bulls went from 37 for 1 to 42 for 3 when Joe Burns and Bryce Street didn’t capitalise on strong foundations.

“It’s pretty much what dreams are made of,” Warren mentioned about his maiden first-class wicket on the MCG. “It’s what everyone wants to do.”

Warren was spurred on by a parochial supporter group within the crowd.

“They were carrying on like pork chops today,” he mentioned with a smile. “I’ve got a couple of hooligans from school, a couple of uni mates, and then the old man and a couple of his friends – they’ve had a couple in the bar.

“They’re a bit intoxicated, however having a little bit of enjoyable.”
