Sinfeld another three.

Bulls 3/76

Clayton holding it together again. If he falls I think trouble is coming.

Bulls 4/99

134 to go

Qld need 4. A bit of inclement weather around.

Clayton finishes 87*

 

[Mister Wright]

Jimmy Pierson with the captain’s knock keeping the Bulls in the hunt to face WA in the final.

 

[Medic]

Well done to clayton and peirson.

 

[Medic]

Don't know anything about this clayton kid but he seems to be having a good start to his career.

 

[Sproj]

Well done to clayton and peirson.

Wildermuth contributed a lot too, he's very underrated.

 

[1910]

Whitney, Dooley, McGiffin and Brown on debut.

 

[Allo]

QLD bowling really well

Edwards with two maidens straight up

Paddy comes on and we get a run out

NSW 2-37 after 11 overs chasing 273

 

[Mister Wright]

The Heat have found their all rounder. Josh Brown with a decent 3-ball effort to finish off the game!

Hehe I was watching that and thinking, poor guy. Then he proceeded to actually somewhat comfortably win the game for Qld. He's a quality player. I reckon once he finds his feet in this slightly longer format, he could be really fun to watch and some records might tumble.

I'm really actually happy to see the Heat have springboarded him and Johnson into OD and in Johnson's case, FC as well. Interesting Dooley got a run yesterday too which he likely wouldn't have if Swepson and Kuhnemann were available. Johnson seems like a genuine hidden gem just quietly.

Agree. I turned on with about 6 overs to go and thought I was going to be the reason we lost as they hit 5 6s in an over!

I don’t think Johnson gets games for SA if he doesn’t play for the Heat. He’s in some good form at the moment. Gotta hope we have him locked up as he would be an attractive option for a lot of BBL teams.

 

[1910]

Queensland (31.2 points)

Played: 8 | Won: 3 | Drawn: 3 | Lost: 2 | Total BP: 10.2

March 2-5 v South Australia (Gabba)

March 14-17 v Tasmania (Blundstone Arena)

An undermanned Queensland outfit rescued their season with a magnificent final-day victory over NSW last week and are now just 0.14 points behind Victoria in second place.

They'll likely need to keep winning to be a chance of jumping Victoria, and first-innings bonus points could be a major factor should both teams finish on the same number for wins for the season, so they'll need to keep playing attacking cricket either way.

If stand-in captain Jimmy Peirson (359 runs) keeps batting like he did during his century at the Gabba last Wednesday that shouldn't be a problem, and with Michael Neser and Mark Steketee (both with 33 wickets) among the top three bowlers this season, taking the 20 wickets shouldn't be a problem. Like Victoria, the Bulls can still host the final should the Vics and WA slip up in their final two matches. And if they do make the final, they would also be boosted by the returns of captain Usman Khawaja, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann from international duties.
