Redbacks: Title Town

[hey shorty]

We look odds on to make it, its just who our opponent is.

Standings after the SA match according to Cricket Australia

 

[Moonwatcher]

So SA want the VICs to make as big a score as possible without getting 301 within the first 100 overs. With 7 down their run rate should drop over the long run or accelerate before wickets falling.

South Australia 10 5 5 0 0 0 49.63
Victoria 9 4 3 0 2 0 46.62 (+0.14 +1.0) 47.76*
Queensland 9 5 4 0 0 0 45.66 (+1.0) 46.66*
New South Wales 9 5 1 0 3 0 44.13(+1.41 +0.5) 46.04*
Western Australia 9 3 3 0 3 0 36.18
Tasmania 9 2 7 0 0 0 25.69


That's the state of play at the moment

Qld got the 7th wicket in the 99.2 over... 4 more deliveries and it would've only been .5 of a bonus

They need 110 or so in 22 overs...... not gonna happen. I reckon we'll be playing NSW in the final.

Best we can get is the Vics scrap out a draw meaning we host the final at Glenelg

 

[Deaneus!]

Just realised we've already won

by an innings and 78 runs

ridiculous

If that's the case, that would mean 3rd and 4th have jumped to the top two in the last round of the season

I turned my laptop off at 3/130 ish then checked my phone when I got outside to find it 7/135 ish quite amazing.

 

[Pugsley]

Tim Paine dropped for this game. So will it be a Tim for a Tim ?

 

[Smoooothy]

VIC bowled out for under 301. Can now host the final, may the rains of 1000 winters hit the Alice..

38 degrees today but possible thunderstorm tomorrow.

Anyhow I reckon NSW will bat them out of it to ensure their spot in the final. Only a NSW collapse is the danger.

WA had first innings lead of 233 can't see Qld winning outright there.

Burns out for QLD as well. Big wicket to get early for WA

NSW have to win to make the final. A draw would see them miss out (and we host).

His shield season has been awful. Luckily his test average of close to 50 means anything he does at shield level means nothing!

And Cowan out for NSW.

Might be playing in the NT for the final.

sorry my bad

Nah. 90 run lead is massive. NSW win or draw here.

 

[betterthanu]

Cricket Australia's website is so bad. Most links dont take you where they're supposed to and its impossible to find stats on anything. Its amazing that the old baggygreen.com site (cricinfo) was a better website 10 years ago than the official website is today.

NSW 2/33

would i be right in saying NSW will either host the final or miss out completely?

 

[brucetiki]

Qld 3/57. That piece of the puzzle is falling in nicely too

Isnt it the only piece of the puzzle that actually matters? My read on the situation was that after our win, if WA win, we're in. The other game only affects us hosting or not. Yes? No?

Edit: Found it

NSW win outright, NSW v SA in Coffs
VIC win outright, VIC v SA in Alice Springs
Draw SA v Vic at Glenelg.

All providing QLD dont win

Correct.
