But the fact of the matter is it hasn't.

The team that finishes 2nd is lucky they get a final IMO

Of course the last team to finish 1st and lost the final was the Redbacks
Would you prefer the Shield going to the side finishing on top with no final?
I would.

What incentive does WA have to declare - I don’t understand why anyone would keep talking about it
When you talk of shield winners of yersteryear - few would remember if back to back victories or three peats were actually draws or wins
Just lift the shield and lock in a pretty phenomenal triple double

What needs to happen is that Cricket Australia should get off there arse and get the best possible players available to play rather than playing in the IPL..
If thats not letting them go for a a week or two or changing the fixture ...don't care as long as we see the best players available for the shield

None whatsoever - Declarations to try & go after outright wins are for the 10 regular season rounds...The final is all about winning the title by the best means possible...Tassie had an opportunity to go after the BP lead & have control of the game, but didn't really entertain the idea at all.

That would be fine but I am happy with a final where the visiting team has to win.
That fact didn't escape me

This partnership would be driving Tassie nuts.

These commentators saying WA should declare... Idiots.

In principle I don’t mind that - but you’d need neutral curators
Delivering a 700 a side track isn’t really a final
May as well not bother
As a redbacks supporter all tracks are minefields

Do you reckon Wade regrets not going to the IPL as originally scheduled?
Nope.

I know Wade did what was least disruption to the team, but why he opened in these last few games is beyond me...He's so much more effective in this format batting in the middle order.

At least Silk is showing some fight unlike the Tassie top order, they should at least take this match into a 5th day.
