Matt Short had another century for Vic. What a summer he’s had.

NSW are extremely likely to draw or lose this match, so they’ll be only one match away from a winless season. That’s a shame dot gif

I'm not a huge fan of Smith's captaincy but I rate him over Cummins.

 

[Dazzler9]

Simple enough to fix - umpire-initiated reviews for stumping or run out dismissals will only check for that dismissal. Only a player-initiated review can be checked for all possible dismissals.

So watch them * it up.

I didn't realise that stumping reviews meant that the umpire checked for caught behind as well. It seems a stupid rule to have in place.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Lol, NSW avoided an innings defeat by 3 runs.

WA struggling to get through Tassie which they need to do. Victoria and Queensland both winning means we need to do the same to secure a home Shield final

A draw and a final game loss could see us miss the final all together

Hardie just took two wickets so Tassie are essentially 5/23 now.

Tim Paine seems pretty washed up with the bat.

I love the fact Tim Paine's google photo on the scorecard is him as an 18 year old.

Richo seems to have injured his hammy in a grade game

Feel pretty bad for him. All the talent in the world but just can’t stay healthy. Probably will end up as a big case of “what if”

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Tassie sure know how to collapse. Lost 6-52 this innings after 9-76 (and 6-30) in their first innings.

Don’t even think Dazzler could jinx this run chase. Home Shield final here we come.

Stobo with another four. Amazing pick up for WA.

 

[Shifty1]

Wyllie nearly killing the ump there.

No chance I can curse it from here. Home Shield final here we come

Im not a fan of Australian players being captain of the domestic teams. Like in the BBL when Pierson stepped a side of Uzzi and this game when Whiteman gave it back to Bison

So home shield final confirmed making it home finals in all 3 formats and a crack at b2b clean sweeps

Voges had his critics early but results are speaking for themselves now

 

[Dazzler9]

Just 36 runs/4 wickets separate Qld and Victoria in 2nd and 3rd place on the Shield ladder.

Qld away to Tasmania, Victoria away to WA in the final round.

Place your bets.

Winning all 3 formats last year was unprecedented. Doing it B2B would probably be a record that stands for decades.

Which we will not achieve*.

FKASC aside, who doubted Voges?

I'd like to chuck the BBLW Scorchers in this list too. Perf cricket

Seriously? There was an entire chorus in the bbl thread during the year the scorchers came last

Not the worst middle order either. Weird

 

[FKASC]

Charlie Stobo already our best all-rounder.
