You still have to win one of the legs before you can play out for the draw

And by virtue of finishing top we won that first leg.
For the record, I agree with the sentiment, I would almost look at going EPL style and getting rid of the final all together
What an amazing performance, what other side has ever won 3 in a row all away from home?
It is a shame it wasnt in Melbourne, we could have prepared a green seamer and still got the same result with our weather this week! Would have given everyone something else to whinge about!!!

Its still not even close to the same thing. usually in those 2 leg matchup they still have a final somewhere where both teams start on an even keel. They never end the tournament with a draw.
Not quite. The soccer ties always start on an even footing. You don't have a winner by countback if the game is a draw. And most of the world still plays first past the post in the leagues.
Every sport does have the contingency that if there is no result then the top team wins, its just a lot more likely in a 5 day cricket match than most sports other than soccer which has the penalty shootout. Imagine a Shield final being decided by a super over? 
But if a game was abandoned due to weather or some unforseen event then unless they have the ability to reschedule then I imagine the top side wins.
Also most sports that have ways to break a deadlock are for teams that are tied, in this case 1 team has clearly outplayed the other for 5 days but couldn't get a result.

If you had a 2 leg shootout then you would , most likely, start playing to win and not draw
In most scenarios that I have seen
Teams play not to lose the first game and will then try and win the second game and it is still common for the series to be tied after both legs

We will see, no reason why both can't play anyway.

A bouncer and a stock delivery outside off isn't a lot of tools.

It's been enough for a lot of tools I played against.

Lehmann is a South Australian, so while it says he's born in Vic, he's raised here. Pretty sure Dalton is an SA boy.

Lehmann was born in Vic while his old man was playing for Vic, and playing in another successful Sheffield Shield Final for Vic.
