Pics from the Teeball final

And the first one probably sums up the barometer for the Redbacks:

Aaron Finch bowled by Tait...off a no-ball. Sets the scene - and in direct comparison,
Manou is out first ball next innings; Finch could have been out on the second legitimate ball.

Return from the deep by Cleary

You might not think a finch would beat a magpie in a scrap; Finch went alright tonight

Something to cheer about, but not ultimately

Yes, so close, but so far...again

All the spark was used up before the innings began; the Vics lent some to Pollard.

What's going on here? They could have argued enough to allow the batsmen to run four or five before returning the ball. It would have made no difference.

Too much was left for Kieron Pollard to do.
And in closing, the 1996 Shield final continues to grow in legend...still the last time SA won a trophy.
