Shield Final: Tas Tigers v NSW Blues at Hobart

[Tweed Titan]

Why did we bat soooo slowly with so many wickets in hand if they are going to declare now. I think the declaration is a good idea, BUT we could have gone waaay earlier with the hitting if that is the thought. Mott is no genius that's for sure.

Well f**k Me.

There's aggressive and then there's downright suicide. 200 isn't going to be enough with nearly 100 overs.

I hope it turns out to be a masterstroke, but I fear we'll be all done and dusted by tea with Tassie winning by 6 wickets.

Looks like they were waiting for Jaques to get his 100.

well you need to win a draw is not enough so the declaration had to be tonight and had to be gettable for the Tasmanian s. If you bowl well 200 is plenty need a few early wickets

There's your problem....

 

[Tweed Titan]

Hughes drops the one chance (sitter) we made the declaration for. Game over

 

[aussies1st]

We only get 4 overs, would have been better off going for 30 odd runs in the remaining time and then declare overnight.

3 dropped catches in 4 overs when your trying to win a title...

 

[aussies1st]

Dammit our fielding is going to come and bite us in the ass.

 

[Red Bear]

Well thats us f**ked, got the chances we wanted and couldnt take any. Feel for the bowlers.

3 dropped catches in 4 overs when your trying to win a title...

so 100 overs tomorrow, we should get 75 more chances :sarcasm:

 

[Twizzle]

brave declaration but we had enough chances to put pressure on them but dropped too many catches

 

[yappy]

Time to get SOK on. The quicks don't look like they are gonna do it for us today. Catching hurt em last night, but today they're just knackered.

 

[yappy]

could Coyte be the most unlikely hero?

 

[Twizzle]

5th day should be a SOK day

 

[Red Bear]

yes wicket. To Coyte

Sounds like Copeland and Cummins are both stuffed

 

[TheParraboy]

copeland gets kruger

tassie 2/71 - 35 overs

another quick wicket here puts us in a decent position to win it

 

[Red Bear]

Interesting middle session coming up, would be great to pull this out

 

[yappy]

Well done Tassie. Best team this season and deserved Shield winners.

Tasmania got lucky with the timing of the World Cup

ridiculous declaration by Katich too

this pitch was a road and it seemed pretty obvious not even the batsman knew he was going to declare

there is a stack of time left and he was never going to bowl them out for f**k all on this road
