Queensland obliterate Victoria to win Pura Cup final
As a Queenslander, it would be remiss of me not to mention Queensland absolutely crushing Victoria by an innings and 354 runs to win the Pura Cup final today. The most extraordinary aspect of their win was their first innings total: 6 for 900. You heard it right. It's the 11th highest score in the history of first class cricket and they would've gone for the 1000 mark if they weren't concerned about a little thing like winning the match. Shane Watson and Jimmy Maher both scored double centuries, with Clinton Perren and Martin Love also scoring big hundreds. Mitchell Johnson who copped flak after conceding over 110 runs in the recent South African ODI was the pick of the bowlers taking 10 wickets. It seems a long time ago that Queensland seemed unable to win the Sheffield Shield (what the competition used to be called) - now we dominate the local comp. Life is sweet.
