“Mathematically possible heading into the last round” - spoken like a true grade cricketer!!
I’m sure I read about 10 tweets from journos saying it was confirmed after the previous round. But that should teach me.
Yeah, there was about 8.6 points separating Queensland from the other 2 sides. 6 points for a win and maybe pick up 3 BP’s which is close to the max and hope Queensland get nothing.
Queensland only need 2 more wickets for 0.5 BP which would seal it for them
Queensland now officially hosting the final
Vern has been hacked! Probably the Russians. 
The old I got drunk and tweeted then claim my account was hacked the next morning excuse!
Surprised hackers are wasting their time with cricketers. Another sportsman said the same crap “my account was hacked”
You ain’t fooling anyone boy

Seriously he would have been better off owning it. Now he just looks like a complete fool whereas previously he looked nasty!
Looks like Renshaw has been subbed out of the Queensland shield game.
Anyone know if he got sconed, or has he gone to South Africa in the expectation that Warner is sure to overstep the line soon…or Mitch Marsh missing.
Renshaw concussed in warm-up mishap
Queensland batsman subbed out of Shield game after suffering head knock in a collision with a teammate during warm-ups
Former Test opener Matthew Renshaw is under an injury cloud for next week’s JLT Sheffield Shield final after an unfortunate warm-up mishap saw him sidelined midway through Queensland’s clash with NSW .
Renshaw was diagnosed with concussion following a collision with a teammate during the Bulls’ warm-up on day two of their Shield game in Wollongong.
The 21-year-old did not take to the field on Wednesday and, as a precautionary measure, was replaced in the Bulls XI by rookie batsman Lachlan Pfeffer, who had to fly down from Brisbane.
“Matt will be reassessed in Brisbane to consider recovery and possible fitness to play in the Shield final,” a Queensland Cricket spokesperson added.
Cricket Australia introduced concussion substitutes into the Sheffield Shield for the first time this season under a two-year trial.
Pfeffer filled in for Renshaw at the top of the Bulls’ batting order in their second innings on Thursday, making nine off 22 balls before he was bowled leaving left a vicious Trent Copeland in-swinger.
Renshaw has suffered concussion before, having been withdrawn from last summer’s New Year’s Test in Sydney against Pakistan after being struck twice on the helmet in three days.
He was first hit by a bouncer while batting before copping another blow while fielding at short leg two days later.
In November, Tasmania batsman Jake Doran became the first player to be subbed out in the Sheffield Shield under CA’s trial, while Victoria’s Will Pucovski was replaced earlier this month when he suffered a head knock against NSW.
Queensland begun the final round as runaway ladder-leaders and have since sealed top spot through bonus points, meaning they will host next week’s Shield final at Brisbane’s Allan Border Field.
The Bulls will host the winner of the Victoria-Tasmania clash in Hobart in the JLT Sheffield Shield decider. If that match is a draw, the Tigers will finish as the higher-placed team and progress to the final.
Lunch: TAS 7-168, lead by 330 runs.
Tom Rogers 51* invaluable runs. He’s having himself a very good season.
Tasmania all out with a lead of 377 runs.
Big chase for the Vics to make the final.
Vics 2 for 14.
Maxwell (again when he could’ve made some sort of statement) with a first-ball blob.
Batting’s been fragile all year…
Would of loved to see the odds on a QLD v TAS SS final at the start of the season. Both were tipped to finish near the bottom
Vics 3 for 21
GAWWWNNN!!!
Weren’t Tassie on one of the worst losing streaks in shield history early in the season? Remarkable turnaround.

Very curious. I don’t think there’s any suggestion Lyon cheated on her is there?
