Depending on rain. We should bowl them out within 160 you'd think if we bowl well. Tail starts at Tremain so one wicket away. Time shouldn't be an issue if we do that.

The crowds are small but apparently the Cricket Australia live scores thing and streaming gets a heap of traffic. Still plenty of interest in Shield cricket even though the live crowds/television audience isn't there.
I can't believe they live stream the matches for free.

1/77 at lunch
Only off 16 overs too so flying there
Might just hold off on the champagne for now though

Please don't rain. Or play like the old Redbacks for the next hour of play. Would we go top if we win? I haven't really analyzed the points system since they changed it.
I just had a look and if my calculations are correct we should both get the same amount of bonus points from the match therefore still be second on the ladder and. 7 behind the Vics.
I might be wrong though as the system is a bit unclear.

We've completely ballsed up the back end of the season a couple of times.
A couple of seasons ago we were talking home finals at this stage and trying to shift the date of the Shield final to avoid a Rolling Stones concert at Adelaide Oval. Then didn't win another game and finished bottom.
It must be hard for players to adjust after the T20. It is such an adrenaline fuelled game - big crowds, on tv, fours and sixes, quick paced and under lights. To then go back to the relatively slow pace of Shield cricket where patience, concentration and consistency are the keys it's difficult to recalibrate. Mind you, the other states seemed to adjust much better than us.
Let's hope the break doesn't lose what we've built up here.

Weve been in a similar position a couple times pre Xmas in recent years only to fall apart after the BBL.
There seems a bit more resolve about them this year, and a touch more depth.

Let's just hope NSW, WA, QLD, VIC, TAS all lose their next match

Not so sure about depth, but we have an even spread. Cooper, Ferg, Head, Lehmann all have tons, Cossie and Ross both have a handful of 50s. Sayers, Richo, Worrall, Mennie, Putland and Zampa all have wickets, and we have a back up spinner if necessary.

Cossie got out just before Richmond KFC opened. I'd have a bone to pick with him if I was Siddons.
Pressure back on the Reds 
Lol they haven't existed as long as the Crows premiership drought let alone the Redbacks shield drought.Pressure back on the Reds

No but they've blown just about every chance they've had to win silverware (bar a FFA Cup no one cares about)
Still, the Crows have been losing finals for longer than the Reds have existed.
