Sheffield Shield - SA vs Tasmania at Adelaide 5-8 March

[IanG]

For discussion on this match

This is another match that could have a baring on who will play Victoria in the Shield final

 

[Collingwood Storm]

TAS won the toss, chose to bat and are in all sorts of trouble

3/21

TAS need to win outright and have QLD get 0 points against VIC to make the final

 

[IanG]

So if all games end up in draw I would then depend on who gets 1st Innings Points as to who would go through to the final

 

[Collingwood Storm]

QLD are 4 points ahead of TAS

 

[Collingwood Storm]

TAS recovered from 7/81 to 7/195

Bailey made another 100 and with QLDs collapse against VIC their hopes for a finals spot is still alive.

 

[IanG]

I'm sure each of the 4 teams are keeping an eye on the progress of the other matches. Except for Victoria cuz they're already there.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

The NSW v WA match is a dead rubber.

QLD are on 28 points, TAS 24, WA and SA 20 and NSW are last.

TAS need to win outright and for QLD not to get any points.

 

[IanG]

Just wonder how will Victoria play in this game. Will they coast through it and just use it as match practice before the final or play for real and want a win under their belt to maintain their form.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

SA 8/253 trail by 48 on 1st innings at stumps

 

[Collingwood Storm]

TAS 9 out and lead by 337 @ stumps after taking 1st innings points

TAS need to get the outright tomorrow to make the final.
