Watson, Johnson to miss state final

Queensland cricket captain Jimmy Maher has lashed out at Cricket Australia over their decision to pull Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson from the team to play Victoria in Sunday's Ford Ranger Cup (the One-Day series) final. Cricket Australia has ordered the players be rested to avoid injury ahead of the World Cup. Ridiculous, if you ask me!

Brad Hodge may also be missing for the Victorians.
