Shield Round 3
Things a little bit clearer. Bluebaggers on top having won all 3 and their first without most of the internationals, Tassie won their first game, Vics and the Croweaters yet to win, at least the Vics were able to bowl a team out for the first time this season.
Chad Sayers was the star of the round with 8/64 and 13/131 in the match, along with 52 runs.
Street from Qld made his maiden shield century as did Green for the Sandgropers and Travis Head made his first ton of the season.
