“Victoria have a good chance”


Colac is country town in Victoria and Finch embodies the essence of the strong, sturdy country man in his game as well. Not just his game but his attitude too.

Finch is outright and honest about his cricket: “I think we have a very tough team and Victoria have a very good chance.

We can concentrate on our preparations as we go further on.”

The Bushrangers, clubbed with the Delhi Daredevils and Wayamba, went on to the next stage of the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 with a bit of a fuss they could have avoided.

Brushing aside the Daredevils did not take much doing but they stumbled against the Sri Lankans from Wayamba at the Feroz Shah Kotla last night but that did not hurt much apart from their pride.

The loss notwithstanding, the Aussie outfit edged past Wayamba from the group stage by virtue of a better net run rate.

All the hype, the international class on show and the quality of cricket have been a pleasant surprise for cricket fans in the country, as it has been for the Bushrangers.

“This has been very exciting for the whole group and we are all very thrilled.”

How much research did the team do on the others in the fray before setting sail for Indian shores?

“Well, the research wouldn’t have been very different. Everyone team has seen the other closely before coming over and I am sure each would have had its own plans.

“I think we are a very tough team and that has shown in the way we have played so far.”

The battleground will become more menacing as the tournament draws to its business end. Now will be the time for the world to see what the Bushrangers can spread, fire or ire.
