Storm time returns to Bellerive Oval as the Hurricanes get their home campaign off to a convincing victory. It was a nervy start after losing two in two balls to Cooper, but an assured partnership between Short and McDermott rebuilt the innings. Miller came in at the end to chip in the boundaries needed and take them over the line. A very happy Christmas for Hobart, the defending champions campaign in danger of becoming a nightmare. A very Merry Christmas from here, join us on Boxing Day.
