Great - so we had 10 wickets to get 108 runs and now we look like losing.

Qunts .

Farking i-gens with their ADHD:


Over 24.2: Fawad Ahmed to Maddinson, FOUR, swept to the deep square leg

Over 24.5: Fawad Ahmed to Maddinson, SIX, standing and smashing it over the long on rope

Over 24.6: Fawad Ahmed to Maddinson, no run, OUT, back and trying to turn it on the on side, he misses it and gets wrapped on the pad in front. NSW 3/60 (Nevill 0, Maddinson 17)

That's how he batted in the 1st innings. Are they mixing blow into his Gatorade?

Punter clean bowled second ball for a duck by Reardon of all people.

I'm probably going to regret this but the Dubbers look home.

so if WA and Tassie both win outright, it's going to be a cracking last round of Shield games.

Looking more like a first innings points draw to Qld unforch.

Tassie could yet finish bottom of the table, with the highest quotient.

Currently Tassie effectively 4-190, with 6 overs to play today and a full day tomorrow, on what seems a fairly benign deck.

They need to set a target inviting enough for Queensland to want to chase it, but sufficiently hard that they might lose early wickets in the chase. Probably 250 in two and a half sessions. Finish off today, then slap a few around tomorrow for half an hour at the most, then hope for a miracle from Faulkner/Hilfy/Butters.

Meanwhile, the Wozzies are stuffing up their small chase. Currently 3-42. If Hussey goes, they're screwed, and the Sozzies will be in the final.

Which is why i've already deemed it a draw. Good to see Hilfy back in the wickets though. Dools & Wells having a good game.

Tassie 226/4 at stumps with Doolan 71 n.o. & Wells 38 n.o.

Huzzah, been out for dinner, and I see the Spivs managed to not choke.

PAris out last ball of the day. Fark me if the Sozzies aren't going to the final against the out of form Vixen.

Michelle for Agar too.

Well, that's it. Vic v SA.

The Barrels?? And with a quotient below 1.00.

Well done the unfancied Redback people.

Vic were obviously coasting, to lose out to a bunch of stiffs. Ban them both for one season. Give Taz a chance.

Aye, just back from work duties...and Huzzah....

It's still winning a battle on the dunghill though. Dubbers out of the running for the prizes.

not necessarily

1. The most likely scenario after 9 games, if SA wins and the TAS/Q game ends in a draw:

VIC 28
SA 28
NSW 23
QLD 22
WA 20
TAS 18

2. Less likely, if SA wins and Queensland beats Tassie:

VIC 28
SA 28
QLD 26
NSW 23
WA 20
TAS 18

3. Least likely, if Tassie makes some runs and somehow rolls the Billies:

VIC 28
SA 28
TAS 24
QLD 22
NSW 23
WA 20

All the above 'points tallies after 9 games scenarios' presume that first innings points in the two running games have already been awarded to SA and QLD, which I believe is true.

Then there's the last round ...

Tasmania v Victoria at Hobart
Mar 14-17, 2013

NSW v South Aust at Sydney
Mar 14-17, 2013

West Aus v Queensland at Perth
Mar 14-17, 2013

Right now, no team is guaranteed a place in the final or guaranteed to miss, but this will change by the end of the day.

So if we go on lardy's most likely scenario above after 9 rounds, then if the Spivs beat the Barrels, they at least make an away Final, irrespective of other results.

If Spivs beat Barrels outright and Tassie beat Viles outright then Spivs would get a home Final.

Of course, lardy totally excluded the possibility of the Sandies somehow scratching together 156 today with their last 6 wickets. That would elevate the Wozzies in the Shield Finalists possibilities. Mitch Marsh is still to bat and Liam Davis is at the wicket, so not impossible.

So plenty to play for in R10. Bottom line for Spivs - they must beat Barrels outright.

Liam Davis is out. Marcus Harris (aye, who) is still there with Mitch Marsh.

God the Wozzies are shit. 8-143. 64 needed with 2 in hand.

Jayzus, the stoopid Banjos were 4-8, but have steadied to 4-64. That should now be a draw.

And the Sandies need 42 with the last 2 at the wicket.

Hogan having a tonk, Sandies require 28.
