Victoria have been bowled out for 63 in the first innings of their Sheffield Shield clash against Queensland at Allan Border Field.
After electing to bat, the visitors were made to pay by opening Queensland pair Michael Neser (4/22) and Mark Steketee (5/18) who removed openers Travis Dean and Marcus Harris for respective ducks.
While young star Ashley Chandrasinghe proved a tough nut to crack, his middle-order partners Peter Handscomb (5), Nic Maddinson (4), Sam Harper (1) and Will Sutherland (5) offered no resistance on the green deck.
Sutherland’s dismissal saw the Vics slump to 6/22, with the tail wagging just enough to get them up to 8/47 at Lunch.
WhileVictoria would have held some hope of posting a triple-figure at the break, Scott Boland quickly fell for 11 before Chandrasinghe was the last out caught behind for a defiant 16 off 84 deliveries.
After failing to pick up a result in their first three Shield games, Victoria will be up against it to win their first match of the year after their first innings effort.
