I was getting emotional, its been so long since our last final.

outstanding so far this game. God, can we dare to dream. Even making the final is a huge win. Especially considering how TH has stepped up. All that's left to do is jetison Cosgrove for good.

 

[knobby]

funny scorecard 7/139 and Bailey and Doolan 108 partnership

 

[radiojake]

that 95/96 win was the last final SA have played in, yeah?

Yep, let's never speak of the preceding season though.

 

[Deaneus!]

So, we're still 107 runs in front and they've got 2 wickets in hand?

If we were a racehorse, we'd get swabbed.

 

[hey shorty]

I have a signed cricket bat with the 95/96 squad on it, here I was thinking it would go on for decades.

 

[radiojake]

too bad there wasn't some more bonus points for winning a game with days to spare... like.. half a point a day...

 

[radiojake]

high percentage of wickets lbw or bowled....

 

[Cap]

so if we win - we still need one of QLD and Vic to lose?

bloody confusing, Vics making a comeback, looks like they will get the required bonus points if the current pair keep on going

Yes. Qld most likely, with WA almost double their score.

From the SACA website

Condition #1

The non-negotiable that must occur in order for the Redbacks to make the final is that they claim an outright win against Tasmania at Gliderol stadium.

Anything less will result in curtains for Jamie Siddons’ men and their 2015/16 campaign.

Condition #2

Secondly, of the top three teams (Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland), the Redbacks can only afford ONE team to secure an outright win.

With Victoria and New South Wales facing off in the final round, this will only be possible if Queensland beats Western Australia and there is a result between the Blues and Bushrangers.

However if the Bulls get over the top of the Warriors and either the Blues or Bushrangers secure a win, the Redbacks-Tigers result will become irrelevant.

Condition #3

Incredibly, with the top three teams just one win ahead of the Redbacks, it’s still possible for SA to leapfrog into top spot and host a Shield final should they win convincingly enough against Tasmania and have other results go their way.

Such a situation would require a draw between Victoria and New South Wales, and for Queensland to record either a draw or a loss against Western Australia.

Finally, the Redbacks would need to secure at least three bonus points by either scoring at least 399 runs inside the first hundred overs of their first innings, as well as taking nine wickets with the ball (or a combination thereof) on their way to an outright win.

It’s a complicated system with more hypotheticals than you can poke a stick at, but in summary, the Redbacks would have to win big and rely on a hefty chunk of luck in order to finish the season as the minor premiers.

 

[Cap]

Wow so we should be hoping for the draw. And a WA win.

 

[hey shorty]

WA are doing their bit in that regard.

 

[NTRabbit]

 

[radiojake]

a draw between NSW and VIC looks a definite possibility at this stage..

same with a WA victory

 

[radiojake]

as if there is a Bird and Rainbird in the same team

 

[hey shorty]

We are on the verge of winning a game inside 2 days..... remarkable.

 

[hey shorty]

Job done !!! Absolutely brilliant bowling performance and a sparkling 190odd from the skip when we needed it.

Now we wait.

 

[betterthanu]

All over. WA still pushing ahead. Just classic clinical Redbacks really. Kinda getting boring watching them dominate shield cricket year in, year out.

 

[Smoooothy]

We've done all we can

For once, hopefully a result goes our way
