South Australia v Victoria, Twenty20, Adelaide Blizzard avalanche buries Redbacks January 1, 2007
Victoria 7 for 203 (Blizzard 89, Hodge 76) beat South Australia 8 for 169 (Skewes 78, Lehmann 40, Denton 3-26) by 34 runs
Victoria raced out of the blocks thanks to the efforts of Blizzard and Hodge after the fifth-ball loss of Jon Moss. Blizzard's fifty arrived off 23 balls and he finished with eight sixes and five fours when he was caught off Nathan Adcock with a memorable century in sight. Hodge, who has had plenty of Twenty20 experience in county cricket, and holds a strike rate of 146, played second fiddle although his 76 took just 51 deliveries. South Australia couldn't maintain the same early momentum, but a third-wicket stand of 86 between Skewes and Darren Lehmann kept them in the hunt. However, when Lehmann was removed by Cameron White the innings went into a nosedive. In a frenzied four-ball period in the 19th over four batsmen came and went; Daniel Harris was run out off a wide, Adcock heaved into the deep, Graham Manou was caught short coming back for a second and finally Skewes' 56-ball effort ended as he missed a straight one. © Cricinfo
