Australian Domestic Season 2012/13 (III)

Huzzah, Hazlenut gets Botha, Barrels 7-71.

Huzzah again, Can't bowls Leo. Barrels effectively 8-72. Carn you Spivs.

Herrick out. Viles still need 49 for 1st innings points with 2 wickets left.

Viles need 23 for 1st innings points with one wicket in hand. Hussey doing his best on 102*.

Barrels 9 for 90 effectively.

Viles all out 358. 1st innings points to Tozzie!!!

Barrels all out 127. Spivs need 91 to win outright.

Assuming...

1. Paris gets the Sandies home for 1st innings but the Day1 loss means a draw;
2. There's not enough time for an outright in Hobart;
3. Spivs get the 91 needed for outright;

Then:

Shield Table:

Spivs 29
Vomits 28
Sandies 28
Tozzies 26
Barrels 26
Banjos 24

Spivs would get a home Final v Vomits!!!!

Shirley the Vomits wouldn't be sporting in an attempt to get an outright for a home Final when they are already in the Final?? I guess the Tozzies will go the bash and look to give themselves the best part of a day to bowl the Vomits out for a Home Final.

That would mean a Toz v Spiv Final in Hobart.

Re Assumption 1

At the end of day two the match is about to be decided on First innings ...about the normal position for a game to be in ....both the wozzies and Banjos want an outright

very unlikely

Re Assumption two

Both teams want an outright

very unlikely

Re Assumption three

Strong spivs batting line up vs Piss weak sozzies ...will get the runs with 10 wickets to spare ...may as well call the game off now

Very likely

Oi, let me just dream for a moment, you killjoy.

From Dickinfo:

Match delayed - Rain - Day 3

At Lunch, Spivs require 60 with 9 wickets in hand.

Started to analyse scenarios, but there's so many. From a Spiv perspective, continued rain in Hobart would be grouse, to take the Tozzies out.

Assuming Paris gets the Sandies home, then a quick additional 100 or so would put them in the box seat.

That could mean a Sandy Home Final v Spivs. Or if the Banjos are in a hopeless position and are bloody-minded, they could grind out a draw to prevent Sandies getting to the Final.

We need it to piss down in Hobart for the next 2 days. That will ensure that the Dubbers make the final. After that it is about who wins outright in Perth will host the final.

Skull, it's only the start of day 3 in Perth and with no one on either side other than Paris who knows how to actually hold a bat, an outright is certain.

More wickets for Rhino too. He looks to be getting himself right for an Ashes spot. Wouldn't be room for Milf in that case you'd think.

Very tense wait then.

Hopefully BD can give us a weather report.

BOM radar is very colorful over Hobart.

Spivs need 50, 9 in hand.

Whitey goes early in Perth. Wozzies 6-163, 2 needed for 1st innings.

1st innings points to Sandies.

Nic Maddinson 26 off 10 balls!

Michelle for Rhino.

Well, the Spivs have done all they can. In simple terms, if the weather farks things in Hobart, then the Spivs have a Final spot.

Good news for Aus. Now if we could find some batsmen. This M.Hussey fellow, is he available? He looks talented.
