BARNES OUT
Queensland fighting back, bowled the Rangers out for 344 (Hodge 108, Jewell 89, Hussey 72*, Mitchell Johnson 4-55, Bichel 4-80) and are now 0-92 after 23.

Good to see Johnson in the wickets. There may be hope for him yet.

Simply looking at his first class and List A records will show you why he was a poor showing in the One Day Internationals he played in. He's clearly more of a test prospect - I just hope he isnt discarded from test calculations due to poor ODI performances.

Dalm Queensland lead by maher so far 301/1. So far in the game good to see Hodge scoring runs, Johnson taking wickets but disappointing Watson didn't do a bit more with the ball hopefully with the platfrom the bulls have he will get some runs.

Great days cricket - 370+ runs and 6 wickets. Queensland certainly on top after honours were shared on the first day.

What did Victoria make a couple of years ago - 700 odd. I say we bat for the next two days, make 800 and then bowl them out on the last day.

Wishful thinking I know, but Victoria will have to play very well to win it from here.

Victoria just buggered that up, after Hodge's century on day 1.

Bichel was fantastic by reports, as was Maher.

DOMESTIC one-day matches are likely to be held on Wednesday nights and televised on Fox Sports, instead of major cricket broadcaster Channel Nine, under a revamp being considered by Cricket Australia.

Although Cricket Australia is still searching for a new sponsor for the competition, formerly known as the ING Cup, after the financial institution ended its 14-year association with the game at the end of this summer, it is understood a broadcasting deal has been completed with Fox in the past week.

Channel Nine, which screened matches at weekends, in conjunction with ING and Cricket Australia, did its best to jazz up the competition but still the matches did not rate highly and now it appears cricket officials are keen to make a fresh start as they search for a new sponsor, not expected to be known for some time.

There is a feeling that cricket enthusiasts, many of whom subscribe to pay TV to watch the Australian team's overseas tours, will be willing to tune in for selected mid-week matches. It means domestic cricket would no longer be screened on free-to-air television.

The competition is considered the strongest of its kind in the world and was won in a thrilling final this summer by NSW despite the heroics of South Australian speedster Shaun Tait.

A spokesman for Cricket Australia would not comment on the nature of proposals to be put to the board of directors next month and said the domestic program was yet to be completed. "We are certainly looking at innovations in the terms of presentation and scheduling," he said.

Cricket Australia, under chief executive James Sutherland, has been keen to take cricket to new people through, for example, the introduction of Twenty20 to the domestic and international calendar, attracting huge audiences at grounds and on TV. Changes to the presentation of the domestic one-day competition could be seen as another step in that process.

Cricket Australia recently extended its sponsorship deal with Foster's until 2011 but the brewer relinquished its naming rights to the annual one-day international one-day series.

That would be great news! The one day final should be played as a day/nighter.

His opening spell on Friday was superb. Good pace, line and length and he his short balls were pefectly directed. On the flip side, Hodge looked a class above the other batsman, good innings.

Victoria look like they don't have a bowler who is capable of taking a wicket, Qld could bat until late on Tuesday easily. Maher looks set for a triple and Love a double. Neither looked trouble, and both men's innings leaked class.
