In reality it seems now that we are always only making up numbers. No one remembers who comes second. If you ain't 1st your last.
That's a huge over reaction and typical waiting until the result to sink the boots. We lost in the end yes, but at times were in winning positions too.
I have been a bit harsh on here too, but mostly in jest and truth is making the shield final is an improvement on previous years and the redbacks have some good young cricketers coming through. Disappointing yes, but not the end of the world for SA cricket by a long shot.
Just letting you know that I come from Victoria. I was born in 1981 and left to come here in 1990. I've been here ever since. I have been following the Redbacks since moving to SA so I can point my disappointment out. As it seems to be happening all the time they make a final or put themselves in a great opportunity. No one gets a trophy for runners up.
