Sheffield Shield Scores around Oz

[the joker]

Maxwell had his chance in tests and will go down as a definate starter in the Worst XI to don a baggy green.
Another great selection by Micky the Muppet Arthur

he will play a lot more tests for Australia

14/3

20/20 World Cup
16/3 starts


With the Test team finishing on 5/3
The possibility is the players not needed for 20/20 duties will be in Australia about 8/3 ?????
They could play the last round of the SS on 11/3 ???
And also be available for the SS final on 21/3

If I assume International players are available to the states for the last round and final , some interesting players are available

Who will win the SS ?

[Jim05]

Still think a NSW V SA final.
We have a good run home, Vics are terrible. QLD have 3 very winnable games but cant see them getting there

Might be

ROGERS
HANDSCOMBE
QUINNEY
STOINIS
HUSSEY
WADE
HASTINGS
PATTINSON
SIDDLE
MCKAY
AHMED

That is a talented bowling attack
They lose Christain, Finch Muirhead, White, Maxwhirlllll to the 20/20 Cup
But they look better off with the inclusions of Rogers , Siddle, Pattinson

NSW, they have the best team. Bowling attack is excellent and their batters are improving.
The top ups for them are pretty impressive too.

My order of finish by the end if the season
NS
SA
QL
WA
TA
VI

SA look to have a good draw in the next 3 games
The problem is playing 2 games at home
Have not won outright at home this season
Would be in SA best interest to have more bowler friendly home pitches
Roads with 2 point match takes, could have SA missing the SS final
