Tournament long shots Queensland remain leaders of the Ford Ranger Cup, Australia’s one-day domestic competition, and is desperate to put some room between them and the rest of the pack when they clash with Tasmania on Friday.

The futures odds show Queensland and South Australia (+800) as long shots to win this year’s tournament despite the fact that the former currently holds the trophy after they defeated Victoria in the final last season.

Australia’s depth in talent can usually be judged through the success of Queensland and NSW and considering the latter was only two weeks ago crowned the world’s best Twenty20 team, things are looking good in the Antipodes.

The clash between Tasmania and Queensland is important for several reasons, the most crucial is the fact that neither NSW or Victoria have played a game yet because of their commitment to the recently completed Champions League Twenty20 tournament on the sub-continent.

This means that the remaining teams of the competition have all played at least two games, in Queensland’s instance this match will be their fourth meaning they won’t play another game until November 14.

A win here will give them a psychological advantage over the rest of the State teams who will be forced to chase their tail.

Tasmania has won the only match they have played this year, a resounding seven wicket win over South Australia, who are this year’s underdogs.

South Australia, commonly referred to as Crow Eaters, shouldn’t be considered in such a way with a team brimming with potential and former internationals including pace spearhead Shaun Tait.

Tasmania on the other hand have one of the most deadliest all round attacks however national selection has knocked them around hard.

With NSW and Victoria overflowing with confidence following their successful Champions League sojourn, every win early in this tournament counts.
