Marnus hails 'awesome' Bulls bowlers after Shield win

Detailed summary

Queensland's opening batters have wrapped up victory over Tasmania to give captain Marnus Labuschagne a winning start on return from the South Africa Test tour.

Queensland have cantered to a 10-wicket win over Sheffield Shield competition leaders Tasmania in a display that had captain Marnus Labuschagne salivating over his bowling attack.

Needing just 19 runs for victory on Saturday's final morning, Bulls openers Hugo Burdon and Angus Lovell polished the chase off in 5.1 overs at the Gabba.

Earlier, the hosts had made 348 and then bowled Tasmania out for 133 and then 233 after enforcing the follow-on.

Queensland have bowled superbly as a collective this season with four of their attack in the top 10 for aggregate wickets.

They were missing Australia ODI fast bowler Xavier Bartlett (16 wickets) and developing quick Jem Ryan (12), who has a side injury.

Veteran Cameron Gannon is the Shield's leading wicket-taker with 21, while legspinner Mitchell Swepson has 13.

Tom Straker, 21, took 4-33 in the second innings against the Tigers to highlight the Bulls' depth.

"The consistency, the pressure .... and to bowl 150 overs here back-to-back, the bowlers were just awesome.

Gannon, 37, has returned this summer after multiple seasons in Western Australia and his impact has been enormous.
