Shield Round 6: Tasmania vs South Australia, Bellerive Oval

[ManOfClay]

That was almost one of the most South Australia losses of them all.

As it were, it was the other dumbarses who forgot how to cricket.

 

[Cleavy]

I guess he was hoping for overthrows?

 

[Tugga27]

What a fantastic round of Shield cricket it's been.

 

[Aussie_boy]

How!!!

Top of both tables at Christmas. Cheers!!!

All it took was Ryan Harris getting them on the beers and getting rid of the Redbacks name.

SA hardly forgot how to play cricket, the only reason we even got a result is due to declaring 6 down after nearly an entire day is lost to rain. Could have easily batted slower in our 2nd innings too, but went for quick runs to tempt Tassie into chasing the win.

Great finish, but only possible because of SA’s aggressive tactics to force a result and try get 1st spot on the table. Worked out superbly in the end!

And I never said they did. On this occasion.

For most of my cricket watching life save that one shield title around about the time I finished Reception at school, and that last state based big bash season, we’ve forgotten in comical fashion

Unfortunately it's the last red ball cricket until February .

Great chase by Tassie but SA declared twice to set up a result

And a days play lost to rain as well.

A disgrace.

How are Shield cricketers supposed to impress the national selectors, ahead of the Sri Lankan tour?

Or border line test players push their claims for the remaining tests.If we can not fixture shield games until Feb.surely some 2nd 11 games should be played.The tour of Sri Lanka sadly will be picked a lot on who performs in this T20 crap they call cricket by some.

And we all know the folly of that. Surely there's a better way of structuring our summer - especially with an important tour straight after.

 

[western royboy]

Insane finish - bravo SA, Hookesy would be smiling wherever he may be.

It’s ok, SA top of both tables, with Head, Carey and McSweeney in the test team.

Will be a good couple of months for SA.

 

[largebus]

Dropping the redbacks name was all it took.
But seriously 5-400 chasing 429 and not even getting a draw on that last ball. Just brainless cricket

 

[Blackhawk42]

I was a big fan of Ward a couple of seasons ago. Had a tough time of it last year, but has returned to form.

Scores of 51, 92, 96, 7 and 146.

He'd be feeling very let down by this team mates after digging in for so long yesterday.

Think the issue is that all CA can see is the $$$$ from the pyjama game.

I hate T20. Absolutely loath it.

Very dumb of the Tassie tailender to run and gift SA the win but you kinda can't blame him for getting confused

He probably thought in moment of madness that it was the last ball of a short format innings, where you keep running & losing your wicket doesn't matter

They likely have already picked the SL squad lets be real

The test squad right now that's 13 so they all go.

Extra bat (likely Konstas or they may go a Handscomb who they take on these tours quite a bit)

Extra spinner (Murphy, Kuhermann)

That's a squad of 15, doubt they take more, Inglis doubles as the reserve keeper.

ha yep absolutely that's what happened. Embarrassing but kinda understandable as a win is all that was on Tassie's mind

There is no way they are taking 4 quicks to Sri Lanka…none
