The Bulls win over the Croweaters leaves them with the slimest of 'mathematical chances'. NSW or Tassie have to lose both of their remaining games and Qld have to win both of theirs and hope the quotient improves enough to sneak into 2nd. NSW's quotient is far and away leading the comp at 1.561 and Qld's is 0.976 so it is virtually impossible for them to catch us. Tassie at 1.201 is probably near enough but it will take some big losses by the Tigers and big wins by the Bulls to do it.

Far more likely is that NSW and Tasmania will play in the Final. Next week's game in Bellerive will pretty much secure the final for the SCG if we get the 6 points, otherwise it will be down to the final round.

If Cameron is fit and/or Cummins plays we'll be fine.

The top order looks healthy with Jaques and Hughes finding form, Warner showing he can bat at this level, and Kat back. Maddinson is also back playing 2nd XI so add Rohrer or Moises (I'd definitely go Rohrer but that leaves the attack short) and Nevil at 7 and O'Keefe at 8 and the middle order is also strong. Copeland and two of Cummins, Casson, Cameron (and Henriques) and we'll have an attack to get it done.

100% confirmed now. Tassie just need 2 points off the Croweaters and we're back to Bellerive.

Hope our teams in better nick, we've been largely rubbish bar a few days in Melbourne since Christmas. Need a good performance vs WA this week to get a bit of momentum back.

Hopefully Khawaja, Katich are fit and Cameron and Clark are ready for the final, cannot carry Coyte into a final.
