Australian Domestic Season 2023/2024

[amber_fluid]

Anyone else think the finale to the Shield season should be the final round? Top wins the Sheffield Shield. I don't think a final is needed. Often a boring game and an anti-climax in comparison to the final round - especially with the Draw for the top team being as good as a win.

I’m with you.
Always thought it should be that way.
Playing for a draw is boring and pointless
Give it to whoever finishes top.

Draw is no longer a win with the first innings points set up

Only two wins off top?

The bowling bonus points shows we bowled very well in the first innings.

The batting bonus points show we batted well in the first innings.

The loss column says our batting and bowling in the second innings was deplorable.

2 less wins, 4 more losses.

I’d be blaming second innings batting, bowling in both innings has been good.

Even first innings batting we haven’t had a complete batting performance

Can recall only the one game where the 'backs hunted the win. Vs Queensland where Buckingham knocked over Khawaja with a few balls left in the day.

Not sure about the batting part - just says we were fast scoring.

Redbacks on the verge of signing two batters, one may offer international leadership skills....

Have also heard an international quality left arm spinner linked to Redbacks too....
