Sheffield Shield Round 9: Tasmania v Western Australia @ Blundstone Arena

[eth-dog]

Bird for a pinch hitter and then Paine to bring them home?

 

[eth-dog]

122 runs, 21 overs, 5 wickets in hand.

 

[eth-dog]

Ooh, McDermott out. 19 overs, 4 wickets, 115 runs. 6 an over, wicket every 23 deliveries. Game on.

 

[JackOutback]

Surely they can bring it home from here (WA, that is).

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wade 922 runs @ 61.47, pity it took him so long to bat himself at #4. Better late than never.

 

[eth-dog]

Wade and Harris look like they'll get 1000+ run seasons. Harris could get it next game

 

[Ducky Tie]

Paine's going to need to show some intent here. Looks like he's having a net out there. 8* (29)

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Tassies putting up the shutters now?

Batting for the draw.

 

[JackOutback]

How many overs to go now?

EDIT: this is wrong

Don't quote me, but assuming TAS v WA is drawn, I think the table will be:
50.31 - VIC
38.46 - NSW
31.24 - TAS (29.44 + 1.80 from today: 8 wickets (100.0))
30.90 - WA (28.44 + 2.46 from today: 346 runs (100.0))
30.82 - QLD
15.41 - SA

 

[Ducky Tie]

75 off 80 odd needed.

Pyecroft out

Don't quote me, but I think the table will be:
50.31 - VIC
38.46 - NSW
30.90 - WA (includes 2.46 from today: 346 runs (100.0))
30.82 - QLD
30.24 - TAS (includes 1.80 from today: 8 wickets (100.0))
15.41 - SA

Thinking out loud cos I'm not 100% sure:
- the maximum points for a team bowling first is 7 (6.0 for win + 1.0 for 10 wickets within 100 overs)
- thus if WA/QLD/TAS bowl first in their next game, they cannot overtake NSW
- if NSW bowl first, they are guaranteed to gain some points

Assuming NSW earn 0 points, other than the win:
- WA need 7.57 points, or 1.57 batting points (357 runs after 100 overs)
- QLD need 7.65 points, or 1.65 batting points (365 runs after 100 overs)
- TAS need 8.23 points, or 2.23 batting points (423 runs after 100 overs)

Tassie are 29.44 before today, so they're ahead of Queensland. Plus WA have their bowling points as well.

 

[eth-dog]

2 wickets, 7 overs, Marsh and Paris I assume finish it off?

 

[JackOutback]

C'mon, two to go.

 

[eth-dog]

Whoever said FC cricket is boring?

 

[SunGirl89]

Remaining: 12 overs, 73 runs, 2 wickets (max. 115 overs)

 

[kane249]

For whom the Bell tolls

1 wicket to go

 

[eth-dog]

Marsh gets Bell! WA in the box seat again!

 

[JackOutback]

C'mon, it'll make the final round very interesting.

 

[eth-dog]

Hope WA win twice and NSW don't XD

 

[eth-dog]

Oh god imagine the melts if Marsh wins it with the ball.

 

[JackOutback]

Is it just the four overs to go, or is there scope to get some more in?
