And wasn't he the shield leading run scorer a year ago?

I believe he was yeah

Nothing yet from VIC or WA, and I can't seem to load the Queensland site up but there's nothing on their twitter.

Round 6 Progress: Stumps Day 1
ACT Cockatoos 69 vs Q Koalas 218
NSW Platypuses 172 vs T Devils 158
NT Kangaroos 199 vs WA Swans 193
SA Wombats 356 vs V Possums 246

Queensland have 3 players and Western Australia have 5 the rest all have 6 :) Both those teams unlucky with players on the pointless ODI tour.


There's the ladder heading into this round

Round 6 Progress: Stumps Day 2
ACT Cockatoos 132 vs Q Koalas 274 [Burns 206]
Queensland hanging on to the lead and as such their slim finals chances. ACT have just had no one get involved yet, maybe Nevill will go on and make a score, or the 3 Vic bowlers they have could take some wickets.

NSW Platypuses 265 [Patterson 101] vs T Devils 478 [Richardson 211, Henriques 192]
NSW need to win to give themselves a chance as the Devils are the vulnerable ones in the 4. But Richardson and Henriques have come to play, and unless Ferguson gets a decent score in the 2nd innings, might be curtains for the Platypuses. The Devils trying to have 3 top 4 finishes in Season 2, the Koalas managed to do it last season.

NT Kangaroos 437 [Mackin 199, Copeland 82] vs WA Swans 243 [Labuschagne 80]
In the cellar dweller battle it looks like it'll be a Mackin lead Kangaroos side that will get a win. Finals is impossible for them unless NSW get a win to keep the Devils within reach, but 5th is still a possibility, and every dollar counts right?

SA Wombats 786 [Sayers 554, Hartley 172] vs V Possums 336 [Christian 96, Dean 87]
Well, the Possums become the latest team to fall victim to a Chadd Sayers masterclass. it really doesn't help that he's bowling in overcast conditions with a Duke to a bad team. Another wicket for him will see his score skyrocket because of all the bonuses he gets (5WI and 10WM) When is a good time to mention that the Wombats have Ed Cowan's 194 on the bench and it could've been a scary score for them?

Ladder

So I think the 4 is now sorted judging by the fixtures for the final round. But anything can happen, just look at the final round of the T20 (Nige might just quit if Torp thumps him next round knocking them out of the finals)
