NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
congrats to Dominic Michael for completing a pair, and congrats to Peter Forrest for completing a king pair
In the 7th over of each innings too, seems a rare feat.

Forrest is frustrating, scored 100 the other day, now this. Coulter-Nile bagged a pair in the other match too.

Only 5 points between top and bottom so, yeah.

No-one's safe, really. In theory, if Vic only gets 1st innings against Tassie and both SA and WA win outright (which is possible), Vic will miss out entirely on the final. And there's a bunch of scenarios which could happen if one team takes 1st innings points but the other comes back to take the outright; NSW the only team which has to win outright to be in the hunt and they'd still need Tassie to deny Vic points. I honestly can't remember a Shield season ever going down to the wire like this.

what happens if there's a tie on points?

say all three were totally washed out and sa and wa tied for second?

SA will definitely choke and lose outright to NSW its the only way they know
Reckon the patented SA loss by 10 is the hot tip; dudded for <100, concede 500 then a couple of blokes secure their place for the next 5 seasons by scoring the only tons they'll score for the next 5 seasons.

you heard of net run rate you drunk moron?
Quotient champ.

Should be excited about how close the Sheild is, but am I the only one who thinks it highlights the fact the competition isn't that strong and we've got 6 mediocre teams with no real game breakers and standouts?
