NON South Australian Sheffield Shield Matches

[Jim05]

Forrest brings up his ton, Queensland within 27 runs

[Jim05]

Queensland will win this one, massive chase.
MAL told you QLD are a good side
They WILL host the Shield final and they will win it
The great man Boof will win it in his first season

[lion heart]

scored ended up level a thrilling draw!

[mal]

VI 498
QL 295 [were 8/194]
Hartley 62 [127]
Boyce 57 [58]
A 9th wicket partnership of 88 got QL to a more respectable score
White 5/59 [26] what the....
VI 3/196 DEC
Finch 82 [92]
Hussey 76* [78] averaging 206 for the match

What can I say
This QL team has performed amazingly this season, but are not the best team
Cameron White 5/58 shows that the bananaboys are not a bit iffy
QL will need the injured Harris and Cutting fit and firing to be a more feared opposition
QL will also need a home final


QL need 400 to win
They chased the 260 gift in Adelaide last week
They wont make this target

Only 105 runs to get with 5 wickets in hand

NostraMALdamus on the ball
QL did not make the 400 target
they only made 399 ....

Never a nervous moment with that prediction

QL produced one of the biggest chokes Ive ever seen
VI choked as well
Fittingly it was a drawn match
Both sides making 694 runs each for the game

QL 5/385
FORREST + HARTLEY had piled in 126 runs
needed the simple task of making
15 runs needed off 28 balls
HARTLEY gets out for 39 playing a hook shot, when all he had to do was push singles
6/385
7/388 BOYCE out for 0 , lofted cover drive and is caught, no need for that, why not play a carpet shot for 1 ???
8/393 FORREST plays a gump shot and gets caught at deep midwicket by Quiney
Makes a magnificent 115 [132] but what a stupid shot

7 balls left
6 runs to win
Cutting the new batter
Maxwell bowls
Cutting smasssssssshes the ball to long off, Mckay drops a dolly
8/396, that dropped catch might have cost VI a SS berth

Last Over, VI need 2 wickets, QL need 4 runs
Herrick the bowler
Gale on strike
Ball 1 swing and a miss, why not get bat to ball and run, poor tactic
Ball 2 short AGAIN [Herrick has bowled short the last few overs justabout every ball] Gales hits to mid on, throw at the bowlers end, heez way out the throw misses I reckon
Ball 3 Herrick bowls another short one, Cutting swings and misses, oh boy QL are not batting well
3 RUNS
3 BALLS
2 WICKETS
thats the equation
White brings in a short leg, gutsy move
Ball4 Herrick bowls short again, Cutting swishes and misses, they run for the 1 bye, Wade throws the ball to Herrick
Cutting is half way down the pitch
Herrick drops the easy lob, f..ks it up and 1 bye
2 RUNS
2 BALLS
2 WICKETS
What should QL do
Simple tactic, DONT LOSE A WICKET and VI cant win, and cant get 2nd spot on the ladder
All Gale has to do is DONT GET OUT and try and push a run, and swing lustily last ball
Herrick bowls one on leg stump
Gale tries to hit the ball into Hawaii and misses, the ball hits his leg, and then onto his stumps
He is out bowled,I cannot believe what I saw
NOW QL can LOSE the match
1 BALL
2 RUNS
1 WICKET
What is the tactic for Feldman, DONT GET OUT
push the ball, and try and run 2
White gives Herrick 2 slips and a short leg, amazing field placing, VI needs the wicket badly
Last ball, Herrick bowls, FELDMAN steps back throws the bathroom sink at the ball[no no no no]
It goes to cover, they run 1, but cant possibly get 2 runs
The game ends in a draw


QL didnt win the unlosable game

the question is - if qld had tried to run a 2 and been run out as they would have been the match wouldve been a tie and not a draw so would both teams have shared points with a tie? qld shouldve tried it

Correct they should have tried a second run. If they were run out it becomes a tie

The India v West Indies most recent Test Match finish in a draw with equal amount of runs by both teams
Today I saw it happen for the 2nd time VI V QL

I mentioned in my last over review of this game that Matthew Wade threw the ball to butterfingers Herrick
This was incorrect
Wade was off injured with a back problem
Finch was the keeper

Also Forrest was dropped when on 2 today

VI need another strike bowler in thier line up
Peter Siddle and James05 Pattinson are sorely missed

VI 10/664
QL 19/664

VI declared twice and almost LOST !

And yes QL should have tried for the 2nd run
But it was an absolute gimme run out if they tried

Yes but Queensland would have at least got some points out of the game and increased their lead on top

Qld are sitting way ahead on the table. The Vics would be the biggest danger outside of NSW. Restricting Victoria's points could be more beneficial in the long run than getting them.

If Queensland had picked up the points for a tie it would have virtually eliminated NSW from the race to host the final. Dont forget WA will pick up 6 points this match and move within 10 of Queensland

Lol restricting Victoria's points by not giving them the tie? It wouldn't make a difference as the points Vic got for the tie, qld would have aswell. No difference what so ever

SS POINTS [all teams played 5 games]

30 QL
14 WA
TA 14
VI 10
NS 8
SA 2

Looks a QL final
They will need a home final
Not a bad effort for the 4th best team in the comp
NS/VI/TA are better teams in my opinion when a few more players are available

Have to agree with Jimbo
Both QL + VI would have been better off with the extra points
The ladder was the above points b4 the 2 most recent games WA V SA + VI V QL

Had Cutting or Feldman been dumb or smart enough to deliberately get run out , and assume WA gets 6 points against SA
The ladder would be
QL 33
WA 20
TA 14
VI 15
NS 08
SA 02
That would give QL breathing space, and a big grip on top spot, by 13 points [more than 2 outrights lead]
VI would have kept in touch of WA

BUT now its likley to be
QL 30
WA 20
TA 14
VI 12
NS 08
SA 02
This means QL are now less than 2 outrights in front of WA
VI are 8 points behind WA


QUESTION
Points allocation as I understand it ?
1ST innings win = 2 points
Side leading on 1ST innings + wins outright = extra 4 points[total of 6]
Side behind on 1ST innings + wins outright = 6 points
Then the question should be asked
IF VI tied should they get 5 points for the game or 4 ???????

For example
VI led first innings and got 2 points
VI has a maximum of 4 points to gather if they win outright
For the tie should they only get 2 extra points then ?

Victoria are also competing against states other than Qld for a place in the final.
The one point extra will make a difference.
Qld have almost secured a place in the final.

[CoverKing]

Yes the one point would help qualify Vic for the final. It would also help QLD play a home final by getting 3 points.

Qld should have been run out on the last ball so that they both gained more points
