NS 373

Great stuff! Good to see them find some 'finishing skills' this season so far.

Is this the first ever game that was won by getting 5 penalty runs for the ball hitting a helmet?

Would have to be , surely
No problem with that, fielding sides fault   

Redbacks currently 3/120, Cooper on 70 not out.

4/185. Cooper a ton, not out.

SA are 4/278 at stumps

SA 7/367, Botha out for 95.

Redbacks smashing Qld.

SA 403, Qld 5/42.

Yes, 5/42.

QLD 5/54 at tea

QLD 8/106

QLD all out for 135

NSW are annihilating Victoria (at one stage the Vics were 5/5) so we need an outright win to stay on top of the table. Looking good at the moment, 400 ahead with 4 wickets down.

Vics were 7/32, ended up making around 180 odd. Maxwell 127 off 102 balls with 14 4s and 7 6s. Also scored 94 in the first innings. Man of the Match in a team that lost by an innings.

Qld needing about 500 are 0/118 so far.

they were 2/130 around 5pm haven't heard a score since then

yep by 5 wickets, Kawaja got an unbeaten 180 odd

i think with thunderstorms forecasted we declared earlier trying to get a result & unfortunately the forecast was wrong, but at least they tried winning it rather than being happy with '2 points' it now opens it up for WA to replace us or NSW in the top two & perhaps Queensland is a rough hope as well


looking forward to the day/night Shield match coming up, will be going in after work on all 4 days

NSW look the SS winners at this stage
Likely to get Michael Clarke and Steve Smith for the SS Final , if they make it

SS LADDER
2 rounds left

26 WA
26 SA
24 NS
16 QL
16 TA
08 VI


ROUND 9
SA V NS
QL V WA
VI V TA

ROUND 10
NS V WA
TA V SA
VI V QL

Mathematically 5 teams still in the running to play in the SS final
Business end of the season
Stakes are high now

So what Has happened ?
Round 9 will be played with
Pink Cricket Balls
Black Sightscreens

And I know you want more
SA
Has a first year drop in pitch
Had blue stumps last match v VI
Pink cricket balls
Black sight screens

This is all happening  with sides trying to make a SS final
SS cricket is one step away from Test Cricket

Do we need all this razzamatazz at this time of the year ?

NO

the day night shield matches are a trial for day night test matches
