Hopes has sent shock waves through The Bushrangers camp. They lost 4/4 in 28 balls !!
He has grabbed 4/28 and the Vics are 4/76. He claimed both openers and has now added Hodge (2) and Hussey (0).
They still need 84 to win. Interesting.

Correct, Kristin. It was 1983 when Ray Bright was captain.
I got my info from Fox Sports but quoted the bottom line. Oops.
"Victoria have not won a four day game at the Gabba since 1983 when Ray Bright led the southern visitors to an all-too-rare win.
Before that match the previous Victorian win at the home of Queensland cricket was in 1965"

Actually it was my know-it-all boyfriend who said it was 20 years!!! I was hoping to prove him wrong! Oh well, better luck next time...

What a game for Cameron White !!
In his first game as Victorian captain (Pura Cup) he did everything right.
He: Won the toss. Sent The Bulls in to bat. Rotated his bowlers like an experienced general. Took 5 catches. Scored 30 and 38 n. o. with the willow. Bowled 33 overs and took 6/71.
Well done, Cam and The Bushies.

VIC beats QLD by five wickets
November 5, 2003 - Fox Sports
VICTORIA today broke through for its first four-day win at the Gabba in 20 years with a five-wicket Pura Cup victory over Queensland.
Despite some final day heroics from Bulls allrounder James Hopes, the Bushrangers steadied to make 5-160 and start the Pura Cup season in the best possible fashion.
But it was not all clear sailing with Hopes capturing 4-2 off 16 balls to have Victoria at a precarious 5-93 an hour before tea.
It took an unbeaten 67-run partnership from stand-in captain and man of the match Cameron White, who made 38 and Andrew McDonald (45no) to secure the win.
The win marked Victoria's first victory at the ground in a four-day game since 1983 when Ray Bright led the southern visitors to an all-too-rare triumph.
Before that match, the previous Victorian win at the home of Queensland cricket was in 1965.
The victory had looked a formality just before lunch with the Bushrangers reaching 0-50.
But Hopes, whose bowling in the match had previously failed to live up to his promise, hit a purple patch.
The 25-year-old had opener Matthew Elliott lbw for 23 just before lunch and after the break had Jason Arnberger in front without offering a shot for 27.
In his next over, he had Brad Hodge caught at gully for two with a searing bouncer and then he caught and bowled first innings century-maker David Hussey for a duck.
Joe Dawes also chipped in with the wicket of Jonathan Moss for 22 to have Victoria in danger of losing.
Hopes finished with 4-63 and Dawes 1-54, while Bulls paceman Mitchell Johnson was unable to bowl because of a side strain.
Queensland started the day on 7-233 aiming to soak up as much time at the crease as possible.
But with the aid of the new ball, Moss captured 3-12 off four overs to end up with 3-61 while Mathew Inness and 3-42.

Congrats Vics! You gave us a scare of course, but surely this is a big psychological step taken here, even though it's really only QLD's 2nds that we played. Victoria's hardest opponents have always been themselves.
I think the bulls needed Martin Love to win them the game in the absence of the national players, and i don't think he'll get a recall to the test team based on these scores.
