42 it says in the paper, above 40 you need extra drinks breaks which of course, wouldn't have helped him. Was 41 degrees in Highgate yesterday.

38 was the limit in all hills comps, not sure whether it still is.

The problem with going by predictions is that temperatures are often wrong.

Can Jimmy Pierson make 300 to have Queensland ??
I see Peirson is setting himself up for his customary hundred against SA.

Queensland now need 53 runs in 19 overs and to hold on for the draw & for Vic and Tassie to win to make the final… it’s not impossible.

Interesting who the preference would be to play in the final, don’t really have a preferred team to play as each have their strengths & weaknesses but even though SA scored 600 on them in the 1st innings I’d have trepidation with Queensland given their batting strength with Khawaja back and the fear Neser and Steketee can conjure up something special with the ball.

Be a massive shock for Tassie to lose from there, it isn't a stretch to see them get at least 350 run lead.

Vic/WA is the one though, both teams have the ability to go from 1/80 to all out 125. That game isn't finished until the stumps are pulled out of the ground.

Pleased that Pope is playing this game.

A trial run to see if it's worth going in with a leggie in the final.
If it’s the same sort of pitch the way this match is going might not see one spinner picked 😅. Might have to go with Scott, McAndrew, Thornton, Doggett & Buckingham with McSweeney to roll out some offies.

As predicted Peirson tons up, loves playing SA.

If Vic win don't they take 2nd?

All to do with bonus points, if QLD draw all they had to do was score *330 in the 1st innings in 100 overs (which they did) and hope Vic beat WA and TAS beat NSW.

So QLD scoring those *330 runs in 100 overs means Vics can’t make it even if they win if QLD just draw now. WA winning looks like the only way QLD don’t make the final with a draw (WA look like they have to chase 250+).

SA 2/40 odd with a lead of 290 with Marnus apparently bowling hand grenades now 🙄

*EDIT: it was 330 runs they needed in 100 overs which they did make.
