GO REDBACKS
The punt on Punter was no match for the steely nerves of Putland  8)

After a season of domestic disappointment, the Redbacks have claimed their first domestic one day title in a quarter of a century!
The SACA is to be commended for opening the gates for the contest FREE of charge and FREE parking. 39 degree temperatures keeping the crowd to just over ten thousand.

Stupid bloody Faulkner!!! I don't know how Tassie didn't win that match!!\

I think there should have been a super over since it was a tie...

[Jukes]

Free entry, I wish the fecking AFL did this they've got enough money as it is.

Domestic Cricket is a lot less popular than National AFL

[CrowsFan]

Free entry yet only 10k people turned up. Would have got more if it had been in Hobart!

[JBs-Hawks]

Would have got more if it wasnt 40 degrees

Hey, leave Faulkner alone! :P He's a legend :D

But yeah, really should have guided you home. Putland's bowling must be commended though, not an easy task bowling at the death.

Just because he played a few games for the Stars doesn't make him a legend :P

He choked plain and simple!

Definitely if they'd taken a head count  ;)

No, he's a legend because he is an all rounder, left arm pace bowler, right hand batsman and both his parents were teachers....that's identical to myself :P I've been waiting for the day I have a quality LF/RHB all-rounder in a team I support - Faulkner :D

Just need him to come to Victoria now....

Yeah, very true. :D

T20 cricket is like the only competition in Australia (possibly the world) which has a super-over. All other competitions end as this game did. Senior and Junior competitions.

But the rule should be changed, tad unfair. ;D

Why not just replay the match ?? Can you imagine the outcry if the AFL decided that if there was a tie in the GF then the team which finished higher on the ladder would win the comp ??

Another example of how inept Cricket Australia are .. how can you possibly claim victory of a match when you don't actually win the game .. nothing against the redbacks ... but ... absolute disgrace cricket australia  >:(

As mentioned before, Dosmectic cricket isn't AFL top level. Imagine if the World Cup was won like that though :o

And yes, blame Cricket Australia. :P Redbacks did come top of the ladder though.

[CrowsFan]

Yeah but domestic cricket is still the top level of it's sport before international cricket.

Imagine if when Pies and Saints drew they had just said Pies win instead of doing a replay, the Saints would have been livid! Granted they lost the replay anyway, but the point still stands
