Most likely scenario: Glenelg miss finals and Sturt lose top spot. Both captains probably wondering tonight how they can conjure up the 10 point bonus.

Kensington 232 vs Woodville 2/35
The most bizarre game so far. Kensington going from 0/53 to 7/77 and then 8/207!
Most likely scenario: Kensington take top spot. They know how to win.

Tea Tree Gully 2/104 vs East Torrens 159
Most likely scenario: Tea Tree Gully storm into finals with a form bowling line up.

University 1/355 dec vs Southerns 2/70
Most likely scenario: Uni win comfortably on 1st Innings and give SD every chance to get the 10 bonus points in the pursuit of an outright themselves, which they’ll likely get to secure 4th spot.

West Torrens 195 vs Adelaide 2/22
Most likely scenario: Whilst Uni, Glenelg and TTG put their full foot forward for a finals spot on day one, WT limped to a meagre total whilst chewing up valuable overs. Finals are done and dusted, minus a miracle bowling performance.

It's lucky the curator had prepared a wicket for centre wicket training for Prospects 4th grade otherwise it wouldn't have happened. Prospect 4th grade weren't too happy they got kicked off it last night without actually being able to get on.

No point preparing a wicket if nobody puts covers on it Wet pitch, no play today.

Interesting,

Who does that fall on? Curator, Prospect CC or Adelaide CC. The covers are left out on a trolley so they are accessible to anyone. The curator works on his own too

2nd Grade is the home side responsibility isn't it?

Gutsy effort by Southerns and Sugg in particular.
Eagles have Drew and Nielsen available next week v Strut.
Some interesting selection decisions to be made, especially who is to keep-Peters or Nielsen?

I just hope that home curators do not prepare 'roads' for the finals, knowing that the away team needs to bowl them out to win the semi.

You are living in la-la land BP if you don’t think Sturt and TTG will prepare absolute roads. May as play the games on Henley Beach Rd

But that’s the system we have, as WT found out last year when Uni did the same thing. The sooner we follow Victoria Premier Cricket where you can only bat on for 16 overs the following day, leaving 80 overs, the better.

Even though WT made 4/426 at Sturt this year, they could only take six wickets and the game finished in a draw. Sturt’s bowling is terrible, main bowler has taken three wickets for the year at an average of nearly 90 But their batting is strong, and as minor premier they are in the box seat if they can bat 130 plus overs both weeks of the finals.

Just watched it. Terrible decision.

Guess it's payback for a few years ago when Adelaide slipped in their Premier league players the morning of the game when pretty much every game in the state was washed out except down at Henley....
