It capped a nightmare match for Queensland which has suffered a dramatic fall from grace after being the dominant outfit of the past 13 years. Vice-captain George Bailey’s unbeaten 51 helped Tasmania cruise to victory at 1-88 marking the defending Pura Cup champion’s second outright first class win.

It might have been a bottom of the table clash but Tasmania looked every bit the defending Pura Cup champions as they bowled Queensland out for 341 in their second innings on the final morning. Forced to follow on the Bulls could only amass an overall lead of 87 runs after resuming at 5-207. Allrounder James Hopes (84) shared a 77-run stand with Clinton Perren (71) and put on 73 with Ashley Noffke (47) today but it was not enough to rescue Queensland… Vice-captain George Bailey’s unbeaten 51 helped Tasmania cruise to victory at 1-88 marking the defending Pura Cup champion’s second outright first class win.

Spinner Jason Krejza was the pick of the Tasmanian bowlers with 3-114 while allrounder Luke Butterworth (2-25) and Ben Hilfenhaus (2-51) were also impressive. Hopes has had a stellar game with the bat.
