I would like to congratulate the Tasmanian Tigers cricket team for getting into the final of the Ford Ranger Cup tomorrow. The final of the competition is going to be played at Bellerive Oval in my electorate against the Victorian Bushrangers. The Tassie Tigers have had a tough year in the four-day version of the game, after their win in the Pura Cup last year, but they have been the team to beat so far in the one-day competition. Approximately 7,000 people are expected to attend the final tomorrow at Bellerive Oval, and I urge many more Tasmanians to get behind their local team and go to the cricket tomorrow. I wish captain, Dan Marsh, vice-captain, George Bailey, and the rest of the Tigers the best of luck tomorrow. I hope to be able to join them at Bellerive Oval for a brief time tomorrow to cheer them on.
