Incredible, truly incredible. The Blues have won by two runs and they've celebrated like they made the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash final, oh wait, they did! South Australians left devastated after they put their hopes on the Victorians and were let down horribly. Crossthwaite's brain fade was the turning point along with a ridiculous five run outs. The Vics were at 4 for 102 with 27 to win off 30 before Crossthwaite danced across to the off side and was bowled The win means NSW will host the final at ANZ Stadium next Saturday night against either Queensland or Victoria, and perhaps more importantly a spot in the Champions League in India later this year. Big Dirk Nannes has taken the Man of the Match award in a losing side. His 4 for 11 off 4 set the Vics up for what seemed to be an easy win. Certainly not the way it unfolded. So in the washup, we'll have Queensland v Victoria at the Gabba on Wednesday January 21. Please join us again for Cricinfo's coverage of the KFC Big Bash Preliminary Final. Our coverage will begin at 7.30pm AEDT. Thanks for your company tonight, please do join me, Andrew Fuss again on Wednesday night for the prelim final. Good night
