Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2651668, member: 8272"] The my FootDr Queensland Bulls will welcome back captain James Hopes for next week’s Bupa Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania in Hobart. Hopes has made a good recovery from a rib injury that forced him to miss Queensland’s outright win over the Victorian Bushrangers earlier this week at the Gabba. He is the only change to the 12 that was selected for the Bushrangers game, replacing fellow allrounder Ben Cutting for the trip to Hobart. Interim Bulls coach Justin Sternes said the decision to omit Cutting was not an easy one. “Unfortunately Cuttsy has been left out for this trip with Hopesy coming back into the squad,’’ he said. “The selectors were pleased with how Peter George and Luke Feldman went with the new ball while Simon Milenko was very good on debut as well so that meant Ben missed out,’’ Sternes said. “But as we’ve said on a number of occasions, you need depth in your squad and with four games to go, we want all of the players in form and putting a strong case forward for selection. “The QAS have done an excellent job this week in South Australia with a number of strong individual efforts which gives us confidence for the remaining matches,’’ he said. The QAS defeated the SA 2nd XI outright by 29 runs today, with Queensland squad members players Jason Floros (151no), James Peirson (138) and Cameron Gannon (4-36) all producing impressive performances in the Toyota Futures League clash. George took his first five wicket haul for the Bulls this week while Milenko, on debut, finished off the win with 3-29 from 11 overs in the Victorian second innings. The Bulls took 9.56 points from the victory, which lifted them into fifth spot, one point behind the Tigers which lost outright to NSW. The team travel to Hobart on Sunday, with the match starting on Monday at Blundstone Arena. Bupa Sheffield Shield Queensland v Tasmania, Hobart, Mon – Thurs: My FootDr Queensland Bulls: James Hopes (c), Cameron Boyce, Joe Burns, Luke Feldman, Peter Forrest, Peter George, Chris Hartley, Charlie Hemphrey, Chris Lynn, Michael Phillipson, Simon Milenko, Mark Steketee (12th man to be named). - See more at: [url=http://www.qldcricket.com.au/blog/2015/02/12/hopes-back-for-bulls/#sthash.t9hFmF7i.dpuf]Hopes Back For BullsQueensland Cricket[/url] [/QUOTE]
