Re: Shield Final: Mighty Tasmania v Wimpy Billies, 2011-12

ROFL ... now it is just getting funny. 4 wicket for no runs.

I've decided to skip a few years mentally to the part where I look back on this and laugh.

13 run partnership swings it back towards the Billies.

tea postponed?

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 04:50

I see some vague brightening at the end of the tunnel ... you wouldn't call it a light exactly but the grey is less dark.

FMD and WTF??? Qld doing their best to chuck this??? There were 7-88???? Shocked

by skully Mon 19 Mar 2012, 04:57

It would be fitting that Hartley is at the wicket when victory is achieved.

by tricycle Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:00

And Magoffin.

Almost.

by Henry Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:00

All kinds of rednecked mullet jumping up and down in the stands as Magoffin hits another boundary.

Bums must have squeaked loudly with that drop.

by JGK Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:14

Tozzies have no one to blame but themselves for losing this.

by skully Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:16

Wow, drama. Off for rain with 8 needed. Faulkner bowling brilliantly, but no luck. Triffit dropped a tough one off Hartley.

by Big Dog Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:29

Despite taking five wickets for five runs Tassie are just going to fall short. I don't agree with JGK that we 'deserve' to lose this. The visiting side is always up against it & when you have five top level players unavailabe or injured, it really taxes the depth of small states like Tassie. If Kruger had have held the catch off Hartley when he was on six in the first innings, the result may have been a lot different but congrats to Qld, Shield champions 2011-12.

by JGK Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:40

I didn't say that they deserved to lose it - just that they have no one to blame but themselves for losing. The Kruger drop being a case in point.

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:45

So do they take a 30 minute tea now? Softies.

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:45

5 runs for the shield...

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:51

4 for the shield

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:52

by tricycle Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:55

2 runs that's the shield.

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:57

And that's the shield...

by Henry Mon 19 Mar 2012, 05:59

If this final had been played a week earlier Chris Hartley would be in the West Indies right now.

by Big Dog Mon 19 Mar 2012, 06:00

Congrats to Qld. applause

........QUNTS

by OP Tipping Mon 19 Mar 2012, 06:01

Nice work, sausage.

That 6 for 21 is one of the most valiant attempts at a choke in history but Qld manage to choke on the choke.

by skully Mon 19 Mar 2012, 06:10

They got back on?

Well played Qld. Hearty congrats on a great Shield win. Very Happy

Kudos to Hartley in particular. Tremendous Final.
