Mighty Tasmania v Wimpy Billies, Sheffield Shield Final, 22-26 March, 2013

Same teams as last year, but a change of location.

Hopefully the outcome will be different this year.

Could be a fitting finale for Punter.

Possibly. He's the highest scorer in Shield cricket this year, by some distance; currently closing in on a thousand runs for the season at an average of 80+.

Meanwhile most other batsmen have struggled, and bowlers like Sayers, Mennie, Butterworth, Bird, and Gannon have been wreaking havoc.

If Harris doesn't break down, and bowls well in the 5 day final, he will probably earn himself a trip to England. He's probably in a straight shoot-out with Faulkner and Hilfenhaus.

Go Tozzies.

Aye, carn the two-heads.

And a very unprofessional thread start by the pieman. Oi Frommie, can you please add the dates of said Final?

Will Watto make a double ton? Probably not. But Punter might.

And strike, Fromberg is on the job.

Where is this match being played? Another average omission in the thread title.


And well I never! What happened the Jellyfish? Implode?

I think there is a law that says SA can never win a Shield Final. Pete, the final will be in Hobart, unforch the weather for next weekend is looking as dodgy as this one.

Ponting has indicated he might play on next season.

gooooooooooooo tozgolians

bumpity...so who is barracking for the toxic two-heads?....and who is air picking on the banjo....would guess only wally, mick and qmy are certs to support the bills...barneyline who we established yesterday (by consensus) lives in New England is prolly barracking for the spivs - he is not that bright...the rest of the Oz posters will support the Toxics (tho wonder whether RD may plump for the banjos given he buys qld socks)

of those FB'ers in other countries I guess most will sensibly support the Toxics...tho I expect given the alignment of values, that taips will be strumming air banjo

Dear Mon Fromage

Let's hope the final is as good as the season.

Three outa three is, well....... fitting.

Its absolutely chucking it down here at the moment. Forcast looks pretty patchy until at least Monday.

They should move it to Brizzvegas.

I'm at least pleased to hear you are receiving decent rainfall.

Aye, it will top the tanks up nicely after a particularly dry summer.

this could be tragic for the billies

violins instead of banjos

This is Australian cricket ...they only need 2.5 days of play to get an outright result

sage...it being a '5 day match' punter will regress, forget he is playing Shield and make a pair

Well they should Pete, all good things deserve to be here.

I am hoping for some cricket, and enough rain to prevent a Queensland win IF the match starts to trend in that direction.

horrie, I suspect OP would be a Queenslander and thus a QLD supporter also.

Farking banjo's brought their crap weather with them.

At this stage, it looks like heaps of rain!
