Season 2: First Class Shield (Discussion Thread)

[fanTCfool]

Sayers with 4 wickets in both innings... sigh

Nope, Scrads hasn't perfected his final round either. Somerville takes 6 :P

Was him or Moody (who is at least also doing well). Went Moody and Bollinger because I figured the Dukes ball helps the quicks more than the spinners haha

Round 7 Progress Score: Stumps Day 3
Q Koalas 689 v NSW Platypuses 512
NSW have Bollinger and Patterson (C) still playing, QLD have Burns (C), George and Steketee. I think the Koalas hang on here.

ACT Cockatoos 660 vs NT Kangaroos 816
ACT have only Nevill playing, NT have Abbott and Copeland. Too many points for Nevill to catch up in one day. Kangaroos end with a win.

T Devils 843 vs SA Wombats 744
Devils still have Hughes, Henriques (C), Floros playing. Wombats have Cowan, Hartley and Wildermuth. Really depends on how long Hartley bats for, the other 5 players probably won't score much tomorrow.

WA Swans 283 vs V Possums 294
HOW THE HELL IS THIS STILL A CONTEST?! If Torp had a captain this would be game over easily. The Possums have only Neser still going tomorrow (And how many points can we expect from him if QLD bat again), while the Swans have Labuschagne, who will likely get another bat with ample time to score runs. Heading into this round the Possums lowest score for the season was higher than the Swans highest score, so this really would be the ultimate upset!

Genuine request to put me on suicide watch if when we lose.

Is that counting the sub catch points from Conway?

Irritated I didn't just chuck the VC on Patto.  :-\

Is Conway a full playing substitute or was he just on the field to take the catch? If he's actually in the XI now then they'll count, otherwise they won't count.

Well the Queensland bowlers are saving the day for Nige.

Two close losses in the D6s and WXVW.  :-\

Fair enough. Somerville has done a good job in all the matches he's played now :)

The two close games are still close. The longer this QLD innings goes for the happier the Possums and Wombats will be. Swans and Devils need this innings to end soon.

Need to hope Labuschagne either comes on and bowls to get a wicket, or takes 2 catches in the field. And need Neser to not do anything. You need this innings to end first though :P

Hartley stranded on 86*. That hurts the Wombats chances.


Somerville take 8fer. Scrads :'(

Live Score Update
Q Koalas 760 vs NSW Platypuses 518
Somerville 262 on the bench for the Platypuses :'( QLD have Joe Burns (C) who might be a chance to propel them into the top score for the week though.

ACT Cockatoos 670 vs NT Kangaroos 842
Nevill vs Abbott/Copeland. Wont happen with NSW bowling again.

T Devils 843 vs SA Wombats 820
Devils have Hughes, Henriques and Floros. Only expect fielding points here. Wombats have Cowan, Hartley and Wildermuth. Maybe some batting points if the top order get out.

WA Swans 283 vs V Possums 294
Labuschagne vs Neser, this is a straight forward one. Marnus will get the chance to bat the Swans to a remarkable win.


The 4 possible scenarios:
Swans/Devils win: Wombats, Devils, Cockatoos, Possums is the ladder
Swans/Wombats win: Wombats, Devils, Cockatoos, Possums
Possums/Devils win: Wombats, Devils, Possums, Cockatoos
Possums/Wombats win: Wombats, Possums, Devils, Cockatoos

And in comes Labuschagne to the crease. Could be up to 22 overs left, might only be 5 minutes before they call it off.

I think we are going to fall just short.

9 runs to go (assuming he remains not out!)

Is this counting Conways catch or not?
