Very good tournament rounded off by a top final. Congratulations to Queensland.

And commiz to our two-headed members. So near. A catch here, a run there.

Ah, drat. A good win by Queensland. Great play by Hartley and Magoffin in particular. Low scoring games largely dominated by bowlers are always exciting.

Well done Maggsy ...you Wozzie champion

Well done Qld. but Tassie threw it away when the bananabending tailenders were able to score so many so easily, especially with some poor catching thrown in. Without that lead being conceded they probably would have got over the line.

They obviously missed Hilf in the conditions. Punter was disappointing.

Given the relative size, of population and catchment - and presumably also financial heartland/sponsorship? - they have been overachieving massively in recent years.

I suppose NSW and Victoria claim they give all their best players to the national squads, but still .... the Tozzie success is a bit shame-making for the cricket organisations of the big states, surely?

A tribute well deserved Pete. Top shelf resource management. Huge respect!

Contrast their efforts with the HSBC Waratahs.**unrestrained snigger**

They tried.

We all know where the blame lies.

Given the results of the finals of the Ryobi and the Shield and the semi of the BBL did the Christchurch Earthquake cause Tassie to shift 10000 km west?
