Q'land, Victoria and WA all won outright.

A nice change fro the earlier SS runfest draws.

Victoria particularly impressive, after being rolled for 199 and coming back to skittle NSW twice - for 151 & 134.

For Q'land, Player of the Match, Matt Kuhnemann took two 5fas.

2/191. Seymour 78*, Maddinson 75*.

[Donny]

Not necessarily a disaster (sending the Vics in) but had Victoria won the toss and batted, they'd be quite happy with the present scoreline.

2/216. Seymour 89*, Maddinson 88*.

[Donny]

Seymour brings up his first fc century. Took many body blows but gutsed it out. Well done.

[Donny]

Maddinson also tons up - with 2 consecutive fours.

2/245. Seymour 104*, Maddinson 101*.

The Maddison/Seymour p'ship was 201.

Although NSW took late wickets, Victoria won the day, marginally. If their tail wags a bit, 350 is on the cards.

[Donny]

Nic Maddinson looks set to be part of Australia's extended Ashes squad and declared he wants to play Test cricket again after scoring a superb century against New South Wales, while Victoria team-mate James Seymour made his maiden first-class hundred on an entertaining opening day at the MCG.
