Shield final rules change makes that no longer a viable option.
A draw no longer goes to the top side. A draw sees the title go to the team who earned more first innings bonus points.

A road makes a draw more likely but then also opens up losing the BP race and then being unable to take 20 wickets to win.

Do we think a road would still be difficult to take 20 wickets on? As we've seen, the batting is at a very poor level in Shield cricket at the moment.

With the weather, yes.

Who cares, vics lost. You beautiful bastards SA. I'm annoyed that they finally come good after I've left.

I think it's a bit of both. Decks are harder to score on but when there have been roads you can see big scores over the past couple of years.
