Shield Finals Maths!

Okay, here's the table:

1st: Victoria, 29.47 points, 6 games, average of 4.91 points.
2nd: Western Australia, 24.6 points, 6 games, average of 4.1 points.
3rd: New South Wales, 20.07 points, 6 games, average of 3.35 points.
4th: Queensland, 26.33 points, 8 games, average of 3.29 points.
5th: Tasmania, 22.34 points, 7 games, average of 3.19 points.
6th: South Australia, 14.19 points, 7 games, average of 2.03 points.

Here are the games, all starting Wednesday:

Tasmania vs Queensland, Bellerive Oval.

If Queensland win: To pass WA they need them to lose and (depending on the respective scores) get 1.5-2.5 more bonus points than them. It's virtually impossible for them to pass Victoria.
If Tasmania win: Similar situation to Queensland to pass WA. They can't pass Victoria.
If it's a draw: Neither side make it

South Australia vs New South Wales, Karen Rolton Oval.

If New South Wales win: Need Victoria to win and keep WA to less than 1.48 more BP than NSW or a draw and less than 0.48 points than NSW. Virtually impossible for them to pass Victoria.
If South Australia win: Need Tasmania to lose and have 2.16 less BP than them to avoid last.
If it's a draw: NSW don't make it

Western Australia vs Victoria, WACA.

If Western Australia win: It'll be Victoria vs Western Australia at the WACA.
If Victoria win: WA need at least 1.5 BP more than Queensland, Tasmania and New South Wales to play Victoria in the final at the Junction, if any of them were to win.
If it's a draw: WA need 0.5 more BP than NSW if NSW were to win.

Ridiculous treatment of the competition! Has the KFC bash party finished yet or they only up to round 30?

Yep, they always manage to complete that s**t competition. Pardon my mood lately, but I'm becoming fed up with the way cricket is being run in this country. I shudder to think of how bad our Test team will be in the next 5-10 years.

A draw gets WA through now. Tassie and NSW relying on Victoria to get up from here, but a draw secures a home final anyway.

The New South Wales that look like finishing 3rd or 4th? WA have been the best team in the comp. This will be the only game we lose in the home and away season.

Don't forget we get Harris and Boland back for the final
