Smashed foot at Gabba sidelines White

VICTORIAN skipper Cameron White last night suffered a broken foot as the Bushrangers succumbed to Queensland's "bionic man" Lee Carseldine in the Ford Ranger Cup final rematch.
White's fracture, which will sideline him for at least a month in a major blow to his international hopes this season, rubbed salt into Victoria's wounds after a 50-run, bonus-point loss at the Gabba.

The big-hitting all-rounder will have an operation on Monday to have his right foot pinned after a fracture in his fifth metatarsal bone.

White hobbled off the field grimacing in pain after sustaining the injury while swivelling to avoid a mid-pitch collision with paceman Carseldine.

Carseldine, who enjoyed a fairytale comeback in his first interstate game in almost four years, charged into White as he took a quick single with Victoria 5-107 in the 29th over.

With their captain at the crease with Adam Crosthwaite (43), the Vics were still a realistic chance of chasing down the Bulls' total of 243.

However the Victorian tail could not keep up with the run-rate and the visitors were all out for 193 after 45.4 overs.

Carseldine, who had a titanium disc inserted into his spine after a chronic back injury, had already delivered a match-turning blow in his first over.

The 32-year-old all-rounder (2-15) was on a hat-trick after having danger man Brad Hodge (50) caught in the deep and Andrew McDonald edging behind next ball.
