Match Coverage

All Match News

Tasmania's third Shield win, Ponting's first

A draw was all Tasmania needed for their third Sheffield Shield triumph, and a draw was what they celebrated after a relatively uneventful final day at Bellerive Oval, Hobart

Gannon reported for suspect bowling action

Cameron Gannon will undergo bio-mechanical testing of his action after being reported under Cricket Australia's doubtful bowling action procedure

Why the Shield final is essential

A slogging Sheffield Shield final cannot be allowed to encourage thoughts of its removal from the domestic schedule

Faulkner, Paine build huge lead for Tasmania

James Faulkner and Tim Paine's 161-run stand snuffed out Queensland's chances of claiming the Sheffield Shield title as Tasmania finished the day with a lead of 434 runs

Gulbis takes Tasmania closer to title

A rain delay and some good bowling from the home side affected Queensland's chances of taking a lead over Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield final, as they finished at 185 for 7
