Link to Google Sheets
The first thing I want to bring up. I am of the opinion that managers would like to see exactly who scored what for each round, and not just the highlights and overall scores. I am trying to find a way to do all this in Excel currently, so that all I have to do is fill in the actual cricket stats players get, and the rest comes very easily so I can copy/paste very easily.
It might not happen, but I am working on doing that for the Shield :)
How different do people think the ladders going to look when the first 7 rounds of the shield are done compared to how they looked after the Matador cup? I can see WA (Sorry Torpy) falling down the table with guys like Starc and Marsh playing for Australia.
I reckon the Koalas should stay up the top 8)
Okay so I've been trying to get this spreadsheet up and running and I have a plan for it.
What I want to do it put it up on Google Sheets, so that you guys can edit and get the scores in your own time. I've got a few photos below of what you would actually do:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2aion83.jpg)
1. This is the main reason I want to do this. There might be times during the holidays where I am too busy to update things, or something else has happened and I just can't get online to do what I need to do, or alternatively someone might be watching the Shield and be super keen. There are ten sheets that look like this one, one for each round of the Shield season. All anyone would have to do, is type in the name of the 11 players that play a Shield match, for example this was a TAS vs NSW match from last season. The white cells will automatically update and tell you which D6s team and what type of player they are. Fill in the relevant stats for the player (0 = out, 1 = not out) for each batting and bowling innings. The rest, almost does itself.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/11bt353.jpg)
2. Go to the sheet with your team on it, and scroll to the relevant Round. If your player is named, put a 1. If he's skipper put a C, anything else leave it blank. As you can see the last column works out who is named and who isn't. (By naked I mean if he is in your D6s team for the round)
(http://i62.tinypic.com/16gqxt.jpg)
3. This translates through another sheet then onto a fixtures sheet, where everything is listed. It will even update who is playing finals as the season goes on. This is purely to see what scores we have.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/oealx.jpg)
4. Finally it goes to a ladder which updates live for everyone to see.
(http://i60.tinypic.com/11u97r5.jpg)
5. And on your team sheet you can see this table, of every player with all the matches they have played and averages on the side and stuff, in a neat format like I hoped to achieve.
So yeah, that's what I've done. Would you all like to be able to update the sheet as well?
Not a bad idea, I don't mind it.
click here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E6KdJ97R4Uy6AcnV1le2YfZ1f54tl2IBff5ZXgogZ0c/edit?usp=sharing) to go to the Google Sheets page.
Just there to muck around with, I am adding more things to my original then once it's all finalized I'll put it up.
Also, take a look and tell me if there's anything else you want to see on there, and I'll try to work out a way to do it.
Love it, lots more detailed that the spreadsheet i was working on

Haha thanks. I had to do a bit of reading re making the ladder update itself, other than that I think there's no major errors.
Only one I see is that if in the Fixtures page one team has a positive score, and the other score is left blank (or adds to 0), then it comes up as a loss for that team in the table. But that won't be an issue unless someone happens to have everyone's scores tally to 0.
The three away sides for Round 1 have named their 12/13 man squads for the matches. Article is on cricket.com.au
All teams are now up.
We've only got 6 this week. :(

You have Klinger, Christian though. Arguably two of the best.
I've updated the spreadsheet to where we currently sit. NSW the only side that haven't got a full 6 players playing.
Brat Pack might be unhappy with his delisting of Scott Henry. The rest of you might be unhappy that you didn't pick him up!
How did I know Queensland would pick him up? >:(

I was like "oh shower, somebody is missing Scott Henry's score" but then I remembered BP delisting him and was like "nope, we all are." :P
Maxy Klinger you legend! 8) 8) 8)

Very annoying. Lynn and NCN injured, Lehmann and Bollinger just miss the cut for their sides as 12th men.
Raphael should get a game for the Redbacks at their current rate, Kurtis Patterson should get a look in next round for NSW when the internationals are out, along with Bollinger ofc. Maybe even Jono Wells if Bancroft and Marsh get called up.
Also, is Shane Watson retired from FC cricket as well?
Watson is out injured at the moment. Missed the matador cup final with something. L
So that's 2 days down, and we currently stand in the following position:
NT Kangaroos 144 569 V Possums
NSW Platypuses 292 216 Q Koalas
WA Swans 248 364 T Devils
SA Wombats 427 745 ACT Cockatoos
ACT leading the way thanks to Steve Smith who has 540 when doubled. No doubt TAS are happy that Torp had a Torp moment and didn't name Mitchell Starc, who currently sits on 167 points.
The spreadsheet is updated, the formatting is a bit out because I just copied it across from my spreadsheet, but the numbers are all still there :)
Vic Possum Batsmen Travis Dean, has scored a ton on debut! What a bargain at $1,000.
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Can I have Finch's score from the tour match considering I originally picked him? :P
This is crap, 503 run stand between 2 kangaroos and I can't flowering use them >:(
Travis Dean, not a bad investment. >:D
The last mathc is just finishing off. And wow some scores are mighty impressive!
NT Kangaroos 216 1336 V Possums
NSW Platypuses 540 266 Q Koalas
WA Swans 290 427 T Devils
SA Wombats 465 929 ACT Cockatoos
Queensland :'(
Round 1 - Possums start with a bang. OD Cup winner Q Koalas slow off the blocks
The Google Docs spreadsheet is updated, a link is provided in the opening post. All scores should be correct if you spot any errors then let me know. This should also assist you regarding selection for Round 2 as all scores are there, not just those that played for your D6s team :)
Results:
NT Kangaroos 216 defeated by 1336 V Possums
Only 6 players, no problems. Travis Dean wow, Michael Klinger wow, Peter Handscomb wow. Huge numbers from those three. Stoinis and Mennie weren't poor either, and 6th play Dan Christian only scored 4 points! Kangaroos weren't great, and really unfortunate when two of their players Aaron Finch and Ryan Carters, were playing for the CXI and scored centuries.
NSW Platypuses 540 defeated 266 Q Koalas
If 6 players was more than enough for the Possums, 5 was enough for NSW. Jake Doran and Stephen O'Keefe combined for 9 points but Captain Ashton Agar was very good, Callum Ferguson and Adam Zampa also scored well enough.
WA Swans 290 defeated by 427 T Devils
Low scoring affair here. The Devils getting the job done thanks to David Warner and Jackson Bird, who both tonned up. The Swans made a blue by not selecting Mitchell Marsh (181) or Mitchell Starc (173) in what will one of their only matches for the tournament as they go on National duty now. A win gone begging there for WA but a good one for Tassie.
SA Wombats 465 defeated by 929 ACT Cockatoos
Where would ACT be without Steve Smith? Probably bottom 4 in OD and 0-1 in FC. Smith finished with a doubled 638 points, the rest of the team not really doing much to catch the eye of Jayman for Round 2. This team will have some issues next round, Smith, Voges and Nevill will all be gone. SA had some good scorers, Ed Cowan with 228 will be a key to their success this season, he probably won't make the Australian side. Captain Shaun Marsh was poor (-8) but he'll get better you'd expect. John Hastings also performed well for them.
(http://i65.tinypic.com/oh47qv.jpg)
There's the ladder after Round 1. Possums with a huge % gap on the field. Still early days though.
Rd 2 [6th November]
Tasmania vs New South Wales
ACT vs Northern Territory
Victoria vs South Australia
Queensland vs Western Australia
Definitely satisfying having a nice win a player short! Bring on next round!
Pattinson and Siddle not playing the next shield round. Torp and JB missing out. Round 1 heroes V Possums may get another bowling option in Chris Tremain. And the Kangaroos will get Aaron Finch back.
It'll be interesting to see what the Vic XI looks like. Given Sidds and Patto are both out, Tremain could get a go, but Finch is a certain inclusion. The alternative is to drop Bobby Quiney which I'm not sure will happen, but he'd probably be moved down to 3 so that Dean and Finch can open.
I reckon Tremain might be 12th though, which means DC and Stoinis will probably bowl more overs which is good news. Looks like the Possums can't lose selection wise!
Siddle is in isn't he? Cricket Australia have allowed Victoria to name him

Yeah he is back in now. He wasn't in the 12 man squad named Tuesday though
Nice start by Sayers. JB misses out naming him at R1. :(
BP must be running out of patience on Cam Bancroft as captain. 25 today
And some good news for JB, in a way I guess. John Hastings is out so Sayers will come on for the Wombats
He didn't have to get Marsh out though
DC 12th man and Tremain in for an injured Hastings, damn it!
Mennie should come in for DC I believe.

It's better than the Zero every other player has put up so far ::)
Re: Vic vs NSW Shield match. There's nothing I can do about it unfortunately, and I feel like it would be unfair if I was to implement something for this round. However something will be done for if this was to pop up in the T20 competition.
I was thinking for T20: If a game does not get: 1) Both teams having a bat 2) A combined 10 overs between the teams, then the players involved can be subbed out if a higher scoring player is named as emergency.
That is not a set in stone rule, I want to hear feedback obviously.
I will also update the spreadsheet now so we can see where our D6s matches sit.
BP! Ya delisted Michael Hogan as well and he comes out and takes 3fer :(
Queensland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeF41_coSX8)
T Devils 147 215 NSW Platypuses
ACT Cockatoos 84 254 NT Kangaroos
V Possums 102 430 SA Wombats
Q Koalas 113 269 WA Swans
There's been a fair few teams which have had subs come on, I'll show everything at the end of the round.
4/6 players in the Vic/NSW match. That's so flowered.

I'm less powered about that than I was about Henry considering the chances of Hogan ever playing for me are virtually zero unless Behrendorff or Abbott break down again and even then I have Mackin
The match got abandoned, this certainly makes me think emergencies come on for those players involved.
Nah let them count!

Okay, so the NSW vs VIC match is abandoned, and it appears that the match will be awarded to Victoria as if they won.
The amount of play that we had in that game did not say Victoria won the match (NSW 88/1 and that was it), so I am going to make a ruling here and say that the match DOES NOT COUNT and all players in that game will be substitued off if teams have named reserves (up to 3 reserves). All numbers from that game will be wiped and it will be as if the game did not exist.
If the ruling is that the match will be given as a draw then the above will not happen and bad luck.
I will leave a period of 24 hours from this message for teams to challenge this decision if they wish.
Obviously as the coach of a team that had like 4 players in that game (and I think even at least one of reserves), I don't think it's fair that we basically have like a 2 man side (Klinger and Mennie) while the other team was almost full strength. I mean, in the hypothetical situation that a team had all their players from the one match and was unable to name enough reserves because players weren't selected for their Shef teams, then they get 0 and the other team gets a whitewash victory.
I think it's better that we get the average of the players. At the very least, this means the players get a score. This has got absolutely nothing to do with how well our players did last week, because as the weeks go on, they're not gonna maintain such good scores and so they'll be a better indication of what they could potentially score in a week they don't.
I want my scores from that game to count. Cowan was my captain and I dont have a reserve bowler to replace Siddle.

So are you asking for me to say Travis Dean can get 403 again, Handscomb 200odd, Stoinis another 150.
Or are you saying to wait until the end of the round robin season, then allocate the season averages to those players? So delaying the Round 2 results until after Round 7.

It's clearly unfair for us to get such a high score. So yes, use the end of season averages. Is that fine or does that flower with the ladder too much?
I'm okay for either end-of-season averages or just all classed as non-players and reserves come on (perhaps for teams with several players out can utilise players not even named as reserve either, starting from the lowest scorer up if needed?)

Although what would happen if someone like Kurtis Patterson for me or Ed Cowan for JB was replaced with someone who scored less, idk what call would be made there as you could make a case for either...
The match is either going to be called off completely, I'll wipe any scores players may have gotten, and then emergencies will replace.
Or leave it as it is
I could do what Nigey said but i don't particularly like the idea of waiting until Rd 7 to fill in Rd 2 results. If this was Rd 7 and it happened then it'd be a different story.
Whatever we do now we'll have to do if a game is called off again this season.
End of season averages would be my first preference, but if PB is against that then it won't happen.
My second preference would probably be that the game is called off completely and emergencies come on. I think that players not named in the 9 man squad should also be eligible to come in and play if teams are completely flowered over.
Just let it be games will be washed out or shortened its just how it is.
If a player gets injured midgame does his scores get wiped? If WA mscore 1/400 and SA get rolled twice cheaply do WAs middle order get replaced?

A game being played a certain way is different to a game not being played at all. It's like the difference between a key forwards dreamteam score in pouring wet or his score when they only play 5 minutes of the match then call it off. Different things and you'd do something about the second scenario.

Come on man, don't act stupid. You know that they're totally different scenarios and you can't have the same rule for both.

That depends on how the match is awarded for this season (Next season we will look into some kind of sub rule). In my opening post on this topic the first thing I said the reason for considering a move is that the match got abandoned before Day 3, they didn't go day by day, and the points got awarded as if it was a forfeit by NSW, not a draw. That to me has enough indication to say that we are allowed to move forward as if the game did not exist.
Okay I've come to a final ruling. I understand that whatever option I choose is going to upset someone, I can't possibly keep everyone happy with the decision I make. One comment from this discussion came to my attention: "Whatever we do now we'll have to do if a game is called off again this season." Because of this, and to avoid any possible controversy for future Sheffield Shield matches if this was to happen, I am deciding that all players scores from the NSW vs VIC game will count as if the match was played. I understand this will make some camps unhappy, however I see it as the most straightforward outcome for this scenario.
I will however mention that at this stage this will be the case for any BBL matches getting washed out, however I will open up a discussion on that topic at a later date. But for any future Sheffield Shield matches this season that go like this one, scores will count.
Results will be up shortly
As soon as I posted that yesterday FF, FTP and few other sites I always go on seemed to stop working on every browser I tried, so I couldn't do it.
So I'll try again tonight but I do have 2 exams tomorrow soo....
The spreadsheet is updated you can all see who has won. I'll try to do a write up on Friday.
Also Round 3 starts Saturday I believe, so need teams in the next few days :)

So NSW are the only undefeated team after 3 weeks after winning a thriller over an underperforming NT side. WA got off the mark thanks to Ben Dunk. ACT were the team of the week with a huge captain score by James Hopes, and the Possums go to 2-1 after a steady victory over the OD champs Queensland. Round 4 begins on Friday (Same day as the test, but in the morning).
The next two rounds will have some heavy bearing on them, not just for the sake of FC, but the ladders positions after Round 5, along with the finishing positions in the OD Cup, will provide a starting point for the amount of HGA teams will get during the T20 Trophy competition. Also a reminder that at some point very very soon the T20 auction will begin (By the end of the month I reckon), so keep an eye out, I will send you all a PM just to remind you all.
Sorry for the delay, the Rd 3 scores should all be up on the Google Docs page now for everyone to view. Round 4 starts tomorrow get your teams in :)

I did post in both threads before the games started. However I do assume that people click on the "new replies" button and then see it that way. I'll be using your team from last round.
Also time to turn attentions to the T20 threads guys
Stoinis has earned himself either the c or vc for next round.
DC has done alright this game too, it's a shame that he's sitting at E3!
Uh oh, I have some bad news. I suppose you'll all be disappointed but R.Griffen possibly the most and Torp the least.
Where do we lie on this spectrum? :P
Whats this news?
One line in my spreadsheet wasn't calculating scores from the correct line. The 2nd innings wickets column hasn't been handing out points for wickets, it's been one line off.
I found it as I was filling in today's games and was wondering how Boland had under 100 points despite taking 7 second innings wickets.

I've gone back and fixed the last 3 rounds as the error has been occuring from the start of the season.

Only one result has changed because of the mistake. WA actually beat TAS in Round 1.
Round 4 Results
T Devils vs V Possums
Late change TAS: Ben Hilfenhaus OUT, replaced by Jason Floros
Late change VIC: Billy Stanlake OUT, replaced by Gurinder Sandhu
TAS: 327 (5 players)
defeated by
VIC: 768 (6)
TAS: Floros 152, Bird 144, Worrall 170 [not named], Cutting -22 [c]
VIC: Stoinis 257, Mennie 234 [c], Handscomb 201, Webster 135 [not named], Tremain 123 [not named]
The Possums get their thrid win for the season, meanwhile the Devils are struggling, sitting 0-4. A big T20 tournament will be needed from them.
NSW Platypuses vs SA Wombats
Late change NSW: Adam Zampa OUT, replaced by Doug Bollinger
NSW: 891 (6)
defeated
SA: 693 (5)
NSW: Ferguson 284, Lehmann 249 [not named], Bollinger 174, Agar 122 [c], Moody 88 [not named]
SA: Sayers 213, Cowan 256 [c], Bailey 189, Beaton 16 [not named]
NSW stay undefeated at the top of the table, certainly looking very very good at this stage. SA drop to 1-3 but have had some good showings. Missing Marsh and Siddle to the national side, then having White and Hastings sit out has hurt them.
WA Swans vs NT Kangaroos
Late change NT: Jason Behrendorff OUT, replaced by Rob Quiney
WA: 473 (5)
defeated by
NT: 533 (6)
WA: Maddinson 177, Dunk 165, Labuschagne -27
NT: Finch 326 [c], Quiney 86, Ahmed 66 [not named], Maxwell 8
The late change gets NT over the line! Torp will be annoyed at Labuschagne, who scored 3 and a duck. Both teams now sit 2-2 after 4, a lack of player depth hurting the Swans, they've been lucky Dunk and Maddinson show up every week.
Q Koalas vs ACT Cockatoos
Late change QLD: Peter George OUT, replaced by Joel Paris
Late change ACT: Nathan Rimmington OUT, replaced by Scott Boland
QLD: 373 (6)
defeated by
ACT: 703 (5)
QLD: Paris 157, Steketee 107, Head -28 [c], Cosgrove 87 [not named]
ACT: Boland 202, Ross 182, Hopes 192 [c], Rainbird 123, Fekete 104 [not named]
One that I thought would've been closer. Both late changes scored superbly, but the ACT players had more firepower in the end, despite being a player short. The Koalas might be wanting to rethink their skipper, a poor score by Travis Head.
The Ladder
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2ih1dno.jpg)
Round 5 will be the last chance for teams to change their position before the starting HGA points for the T20 trophy can be finalised. NSW must be enjoying themselves at the top, TAS not so much.
Rd 5 [6th December]
Northern Territory vs Tasmania
New South Wales vs Western Australia
Victoria vs ACT
South Australia vs Queensland
Also reminder the T20 Auction begins on the 2nd December. The thread is up do read it carefully :)
Interestingly the top 4 are playing each other.
Need WA to knock off NSW and and we need to beat ACT.
Selection will be crucial.
Round 5 Results
NT Kangaroos vs T Devils
Late change TAS: Moises Henriques OUT, replaced by Jason Floros
NT: 306 (6)
defeated by
TAS: 519 (3)
NT: Maxwell 120, Finch -32 [c], Feldman 120 [not named], Mackin 93 [not named]
TAS: Bird 222 [c], Floros 205, Cooper 92, Worrall 233 [not named]
Upset of the tournament surely!? How the... I'm still dumbfounded looking at this score. And to think that it could've been a lot worse for NT with Worrall not being named. Boy oh boy wowee Tassie of the mark though and about time for them as well, they will need a big last couple of weeks post T20.
NSW Platypuses vs WA Swans
NSW: 605 (6)
defeated
WA: 343 (4)
NSW: Agar 352 [c], O'Keefe 141, Renshaw 236 [not named]
WA: Ludeman 140 [c], Maddinson 103, Dunk 111
A good win for NSW, another game where WA would've liked a full squad to choose from.
V Possums vs ACT Cockatoos
Late change ACT: Andrew Tye OUT, replaced by Xavier Doherty
VIC: 618 (6)
defeated
ACT: 422 (6)
VIC: Mennie 416 [c], Klinger 126, Tremain 172 [not named]
ACT: Fekete 156, Triffit 99
The Possums claim this one and jump to 2nd! Caretaker coach PowerBug stuffed up a chance to prove his superiority. Jayman will be furious with the result. couldn't have named a better Cockatoos side it just show that sometimes a shower team is shower regardless of who's in charge :P Also the only game this round where both teams had 6 players.
SA Wombats vs Q Koalas
Late change SA: Alex Doolan OUT, replaced by George Bailey
Late change Q: Mark Steketee OUT, replaced by Joel Paris
SA: 432 (5)
defeated by
QLD: 446 (5)
SA: Hastings 133, Sayers 120, Cowan 122 [c]
QLD: Paris 239, Whiteman 104, Head 108 [c], Rohrer 117 [not named], Faulkner 98 [not named]
The Koalas get the win thanks to the late change. Both teams a man short, and despite Bosisto (-24) trying his best to lose it for QLD, they just sneak home and go to 2-3. As for SA, it's 1-4 and only % keeps them above 8th.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/t9tp1h.jpg)
NSW stay clear. Q Koalas jump into 4th, it's tight from 4-8 though. Only 2 rounds left to change up positions to get into the finals! But for now it's time to turn our attention to the short form of the game, it's T20 time!!
Surprised we won without naming a team tbh.
Reminder that the next round for this starts on the 3rd February. I will send a PM out once I finish the T20 scores.
Siddle!! Up to 48 points :D
NSW can do no wrong this tournament! Matt Renshaw with a ton
Bad news for the Vics, Marcus Stoinis called up to the ODI squad. Don't think he will finish the current shield match.
:D :( Onya Stoin!
Sammy Harper on debut, expected it but didn't name him. :/
I'm going to try and put more effort into this, I hope that it can also result in a similar response from you guys :)
Round 6 Progress (Day 1/4)
T Devils 0 vs Q Koalas 91
The Devils look to be struggling again, down to 2 players selected for this game (Been some selection issues here). Koalas haven't had much of a start yet but 5 of their 6 should see extended action tomorrow.
ACT Cockatoos 56 vs WA Swans 189
The Cockatoos will be playing with 5 this round after Paine didn't get named, and neither did any three emergencies (3 others got named though). All 5 of their players will be getting involved tomorrow. WA have had a good start, they also have only 5 players, Nic Maddinson the best performer so far with 89. Expect less scoring from them tomorrow.
V Possums 174 vs NSW Platypuses 298
This is match of the round for sure. 2nd vs 1st, and Day hasn't disappointed. The Possums will have their two star bats facing up tomorrow, along with their All Rounders. The Stoinis situation will be interesting, if he gets one more day with the Vics then his batting points might be crucial. NSW can thank Renshaw for 196 of the points. Bollinger and Lehmann will be their main point scorers tomorrow, a chance for Victoria to catch up some points I feel!
SA Wombats 233 vs NT Kangaroos 55
This is also an important one for the vital 4th spot. NT have got Finch, Wade, Maxwell, Behrendorff all out from their best 6, SA have got Marsh, Hastings and Bailey out. Luckily for the Wombats they have Aussie quick Peter Siddle and GOAT Nathan Lyon playing. Siddle and Ed Cowan the best point scorers for them, but should be a quieter day for them tomorrow. NT should see contributions from 5 of their 6 tomorrow so expect the gap to close.
*Note: When I say that a team should see scores, I mean that the player is doing the job expected of them. E.g. When I say Voges will be getting involved I mean that we should see him come out to bat, I'm not necessarily saying that I'm expecting him to go well (However with Voges it would be reasonable expect some kind of score from him)
And Stoinis isn't playing anymore, Ian Holland has taken his place :-\
Inb4 he doesn't play for Australia and isn't released from the squad.
I thank you for at least replying to me in this thread Nigey :) Where's the rest of you at? >:(
#dedicated
Vested interest obviously though. :P
Round 6 Progress (Day 2/4)
T Devils 70 170 Q Koalas
Two players for the Devils makes it hard, even more difficult when one has -10 for you through two days. The Koalas haven't been great, but they will get a victory here to keep them in 4th heading into the final round.
ACT Cockatoos 399 327 WA Swans
Well, the Swans are making a game of this. It's 5v5 and tomorrow will decide a lot. Voges is still not out for the Cockatoos, while the Swans have Pattinson bowling with 7 more wickets available. If Tim Ludeman can get to 50 runs I think the Swans will win this one.
V Possums 410 476 NSW Platypuses
The top two sides showing off why they are there. The day started badly for the Possums with news that Stoinis was leaving the side for National duty. It then got better with Dan Christian hitting a wonderful 95 to actually put the Vics in front at one point. But the Platypuses fought back late, Jake Lehmann the reason, he's 92* heading into Day 3. The third innings of the SAvQLD game will be vital to this outcome, Joe Mennie Possums skipper bowling to Chris Lynn the Platypuses skipper. I pick NSW from here to remain undefeated.
SA Wombats 300 224 NT Kangaroos
And finally a slightly lower scoring but just as intense match. The Kangaroos fought back as expected but maybe not as much as they may have hoped. Quiney didn't score much, Abbott didn't really get involved with the ball either. The Wombats had a quiet day only Nathan Lyon getting a serious shot at points, of which he managed 33. Peter Siddle will need wickets to keep them ahead, and Alex Doolan might need to play a bit of an innings this time. For NT, I say the two Blues bowlers need to chip in, and then the WA All Rounder Hilton Cartwright will need to find a score whether it's with bat or ball.
Our koalas are a funny team. We really aren't that good, but we just seem to find a way to win when we need to :P
Anyone know why Agar wasn't playing?

Anyone know why Agar wasn't playing?
I was surprised by that too, at least you have the cover. Seems like your emergencies were in the wrong order though the other two are outscoring Jake Doran so far :(
T Devils 70 343 Q Koalas
ACT Cockatoos 637 327 WA Swans
V Possums 438 595 NSW Platypuses
SA Wombats 339 256 NT Kangaroos
Scores updated as of:
Tea in NSW vs WA
End of 2nd innings in SA vs QLD
Stumps Day 2 in VIC vs TAS
ACT loving what Adam Voges has done, QLD extend their lead thanks to Sam Whiteman, will the Possums regret not selecting Beau Webster (172 cureently)? SA vs NT still up in the air for mine.
Our game is over, Voges doing everything right here.
Quiney has cut into our lead, need Hartley to get to 50 here just for the extra 30 points. (Just got it yay!)
Ed Cowan retired hurt as well, that's not cool :( Would he be considered out if they lose the other wickets and he doesn't return? Coz the 10 points he might lose could be crucial. Thankfully there's only 1 day left and NSW should declare for they lose all their wickets so he will definitely be not out then.
Round 6 Progress (Day 3/4)
T Devils 180 467 Q Koalas
Jackson Bird and Tom Cooper have tried, but not to be. Even a Cooper 200* would see them short so it's the Koalas game. Now they have one more day to add on as much % as they can.
ACT Cockatoos 673 347 WA Swans
Same deal here, this one is done. ACT have some blokes in action tomorrow, Hopes should get a serious bowl and Nevill or Voges should have another bat at some stage. WA need Ludeman to score runs and Hemphrey to take the wickets to get him in.
V Possums 568 654 NSW Platypuses
Well, it's still close on the scoreboard, but NSW have held the same leda for 3 days now, so you would think it will stay this way through tomorrow. Let's go through who is doing what for each team here.
NSW Platypuses:
Chris Lynn (c) - In the field, little points available
Jake Lehmann - Should get a bat
Matt Renshaw - In the field
Doug Bollinger - Should get another bowl but it'll be a short one.
David Moody - Bowling currently
V Possums:
Michael Klinger - Should get a bat
Michael Neser - Bowling
Joe Mennie (c) - Batting at 8, will need to come in and get lots of runs you feel
I think the Platypuses stay undefeated here.
SA Wombats 557 429 NT Kangaroos
Much like the above game, the Wombats have held the lead right throughout, but it's still within striking distance for the Kangaroos. Here's the breakdown for that match:
SA Wombats:
Nathan Lyon - Batting currently, might get a bowl later as well
Ed Cowan - Unsire whether he will return to play
Chris Hartley - in the field, may get a catch or two
Chadd Sayers - Batting as a tailender, no points here.
NT Kangaroos:
Cameron Bancroft (c) - Should get a chance to score some runs later
Sean Abbott - Will get a bat and probably a bowl
Hilton Cartwright - As above, should get a small window to do both
Trent Copeland - Should get a chance to bat and bowl as well.
So I think the Kangaroos will get home, their players just need to turn up

In the process of rechecking the scores. Found something which changed the result of the match I was talking about above. May or may not be your match :P
I think NSW did enough.
Our Bushies didn't have enough to chase because DC ended not out on 11 and Klinger didn't even get a second bat.
Round 6 Results!
Boy oh boy there is a big result in here
T Devils 181 (2)
def by
Q Koalas 629 (6)
This was onesided from the start, the Koala Bears get the job done and get a nice % booster to go with it. They have the Kangaroos next round and a win sees them finish 4th.
Best:
TAS - Daniel Hughes 81 [not named], Jackson Bird 148 [c]
QLD - Joel Paris 166, Sam Whiteman 133, Peter George 118, Sam Heazlett 197 [not named]
ACT Cockatoos 846 (5)
def
WA Swans 403 (5)
Adam Voges did this one on his own. 241 then doubled makes 482, more than the entire WA side. ACT are 3rd, and they can move up the ladder if results go their way, as they have % on the rest of the comp. The bad news for them is Voges and Nevill won't be available next round.
Best:
ACT - Adam Voges 482 [c], Peter Nevill 127, James Hopes 158
WA - Nic Maddinson 125, Tim Ludeman 120 [c]
SA Wombats 600 (6)
def
NT Kangaroos 433 (6)
And the new manager works wonders, well maybe just the availability of International bowlers helped me win. The loss for NT all but ends their season, will require a huge win over the Koalas in the final round. For SA, they need the Kangaroos to get the job done whilst winning themselves.
Best:
SA - Chadd Sayers 121, Peter Siddle 172 [c], Chris Hartley 126, Ben McDermott 204 [not named]
NT - Rob Quiney 141
V Possums 670 (6)
def
NSW Platypuses 662 (6)
Yep, the Platypuses have ben beaten, and it may cost them more than they think. Firstly, what an effort by the Possums who were all but gone heading into the final day. Joe Mennie going out and hittin 43 crucial runs ended doing the trick, along with that handy Michael Neser wicket. For NSW, they may wish their emergencies were in a different order, as Doran (43) was the lowest scoring of the 3. The ladder implications will be shown below
Best:
VIC - Dan Christian 198, Joe Mennie 286 [c], Beau Webster 192 [not named], Chris Tremain 165 [not named]
NSW - Matt Renshaw 215, Jake Lehmann 190, Sam Raphael 131 [not named], Kurtis Patterson 106 [not named]
(http://i65.tinypic.com/xc9kkh.jpg)
So the Possums take the lead! Before I continue, the final round of matches:
T Devils vs SA Wombats
NSW Platypuses vs ACT Cockatoos
WA Swans vs V Possums
Q Koalas vs NT Kangaroos
So the Wombats have a should win against the Devils, but a Devils win combined with other things can see them avoid the spoon. The Platypuses vs Cockatoos matchup will be a ripper, winner confirms a top 2 finish and thus a 2nd chance. The Possums have the Swans, well this should see the Possums finish top and get the 20 point HGA bonus for the finals (Which after this round may prove very handy). And the Koalas play the underperforming Kangaroos to try and cement 4th spot.
All to play off in the final round! Matches start on the Sunday 14th February so we have a little break before then. I do turn your attention to the General Discussion thread though I would really like to get more opinions on things. The more work you managers put in now the less you have to do once the season ends, because trust me I will be following up on you all during winter if I'm not happy with input.
Hey PB, when you have a spare couple of minutes could you update the Google Docs file? Cheers mate.
I'll get into it tonight or tomorrow. :)
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Google Docs sheet is all updated now

Just a note upfront that don't stay up all night waiting for a Day 1 update tonight, chances are I won't get to it. All 4 days of the shield will be difficult for me but I will try to get something up after Day 2 (Monday evening) and hopefully before Day 4 (likely Wednesday morning) starts too :)
Just had a look at the shield scores, I'm in for a rough round. 4 players (thankfully my opponent has 2) and my captain gets a duck. Brilliant.
So frustrating, Horrible scores from all my players, bar Labuschagne and Valente who I didn't think would play.v :-[

You missed out on Valente but wouldn't have been able to name 6 players anyway as you'd have not met the 2 bowler requirement.
I might be in trouble in my 2 vs 4 matchup, Daniel Hughes made a ton!
Good day for the Koala Bears so far. Only Bosisto struggling so far. If he could nab a wicket could change a lot.
Also a bit annoying Head is getting more wickets than runs :(
Okay, so Beau Webster is definitely getting a game. :P
Bancroft finally did something
You are all probably just hanging out for a score update...
Should be up within 30 minutes :)
Round 7 Progress (Day 3/4)
Okay so this is really really intense. Let's go through them from least important to most important.
WA Swans - 58
V Possums - 578
So this one is a long gone result. Nige and Pk you might be interested to know that Beau Webster sits on 237 points, Ashton Turner on 144, Chris Tremain on 100, all of whom were not named :P The Possums secure 1st spot with this win.
NSW Platypuses - 195
ACT Cockatoos - 772
So I warned of the effects of last weeks loss and here it is showing. The Platypuses after going 5-0 are now going to finish 5-2 and in 3rd spot having to play the elimination final next round (against 4th). The Cockatoos had a huge score from their late in Marcus Harris (170) and Scott Boland has 150. Veteran James Hopes is on 218 with a chance to add to that on the final day. For NSW nothing went right, no one yet to pass 100 and only Bollinger (56) and Moody (60) have passed 50 so far.
T Devils - 222
SA Wombats - 232
Now it gets interesting. So the Wombats need to win to have a chance at finals, combined with the next game having the correct result and margin. This game is a 4v2, the Devils having only Daniel Hughes (219) and Tom Cooper (3) named. Hughes is currently not out overnight, Tom Cooper is done for the game though so any chance of a Devils win hinges on Hughes. For the Wombats it's Chris Hartley who is fielding and MAY get another bat, and three Tassie Tigers (Silk, Bailey (c), McDermott) who have all been dismissed. George Bailey with -15 so -30 after being doubled is a killer. A catch or two from him in the final innings would provide a nice buffer. But the finals chances of the Wombats is up to the next game...
Q Koalas - 579
NT Kangaroos - 643
So this game has the most implications on the final spot. Koalas win, they are 4th. Kangaroos win, and the margin will determine whether the Koalas keep 4th spot (Assuming the Wombats also win) or drop to 5th. Players and their remaining impact:
Q Koalas:
Travis Head (c) - 35* currently batting
Will Bosisto - Should get another bat, may get a bowl too
Sam Heazlett - May bat later
Sam Whiteman - Probably won't bat but currently keeping
Peter George - 3 more wickets available
Joel Paris - Currently bowling 9 wickets available
NT Kangaroos:
Cam Bancroft - Will get another bat
Rob Quiney - Fielding points only
Matthew Wade (c) - Keeping points only (6 wickets left)
Glenn Maxwell - Same deal as above, may bowl though
Sean Abbott - Not many points available here I feel
Fawad Ahmed - Like the other 3 guys, fielding/bowling points only and 6 wickets to get.
The live ladder:
(http://i68.tinypic.com/e6ym3n.jpg)
We'll take it. :P Might have to make a few tough changes for the finals!
So we have the 2nd highest score but it looks like we're going to lose :(

3rd, ACT are killing it, might even pass the 1000 mark. Looks like you will be safe in finals though even with a loss. I need 4 quick wickets preferrably all with George Bailey involved and then Chris Hartley to go out and hit another 50.
Round 7 Results!
Here they are, the final results of the round robin season to determine who makes the finals of our first Shield season.
WA Swans 270 (4)
def by
V Possums 620 (6)
Very onesided in the end here, the Possums had a down week, Klinger did nothing whilst all their scores were on the bench again. Charlie Hemphrey was the only shining light for the Swans.
NSW Platypuses 429 (6)
def by
ACT Cockatoos 1005 (6)
Been two weeks to forget for Scrads and Spinking here. Gone from 1st down to 3rd and they've been thumped this time. ACT are flying, they have the highest overall score by more than 500 points to the next side, and everyone they play seems to go alright. James Hopes pushd his season average over 140 with a superb 252, only just outdoing Scott Boland who made 248. That's 500 points right there.
T Devils 251 (2)
def by
SA Wombats 252 (4)
Yep, I got there by one point. The Wombats were on 232 overnight, and the only points we got was a catch to skipper George Bailey, which is 20. Daniel Hughes was the only one to score points for the Devils, he actually got 248 of them, but needed 2 more to get the win.
Q Koalas 671 (6)
def by
NT Kangaroos 777 (6)
And the Kangaroos end their season on a high with a nice win over the finals bound Koalas. Cameron Bancroft (194), Glenn Maxwell (182) and Fawad Ahmed (142) the main destroyers. For QLD it was Joel Paris (149) and Travis Head (129) with the highest scores. In the end the tightness of this result means the Koalas will hang onto 4th spot and make the finals.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/20zrak8.jpg)
And there's the final ladder. For the teams in the bottom that's the end of all your team naming requirements for the season, now if we can just focus on getting the rules for next season sorted so that there's less work to do when we return. For those in the top 4, it's 1v2, 3v4 in the next round (Hom side gets 20 point headstart). The winner of the first match goes to the granny, the loser plays the winner in the prelim final (Also a 20 point head start to the higher ranked side). The team that wins the Major Semi (1v2) will get a 40 point headstart in the grand final.
So the fixture for the next round:
Major Semi Final: V Possums vs ACT Cockatoos
Minor Semi Final: NSW Platypuses vs Q Koalas
Also note how besides 1st and 2nd the teams are ranked in order of total points scored, and how 4th and 5th scored exactly the same for the season (Luck of the draw QLD, was all luck :P)
We don't do good at Queensland, we just do the minimum required :P
I'm all about bold moves.
Beau Webster will play and be captain.
I have some Semi Final scores to update :) I find it interesting how just from glancing at the scores the players from teams not in finals are having pretty good games (Bancroft, Marsh, Dunk to name a few).
Oh yeah, and Doolan and Bailey both of whom made tons >:( barbies why couldn't that have happened last round.
And Cameron White ::) If I made the finals I would've torn up this round :(
You're all hanging out for the scores right? ;)
V Possums 459
ACT Cockatoos 475
NSW Platypuses 556
Q Koalas 378
That's where we sit after Day 3 :) It includes the 20 point bonus that Possums and Platypuses get too.
NSW didn't name a team and we're still going to lose >:(

To be fair i wouldn't have made many changes to the team the do have named. Only maybe a captain swap from Agar (who is not doing much).
Youll need Head to take one or two tomorrow, Peter George to rip through the Warriors too would help you.

So there we are, it's V Possums vs ACT Cockatoos in the inaugural FC Shield Final. Hopefully for the Cockatoos it goes better than their 800 point flogging they got in the OD Cup Final earlier this season.
That round starts on the 15th March, Tuesday. I will try to find time to put up a preview of the final, but don't expect one as uni is well underway now.
Good luck to the two finalists!
So I tried to do a very rough calculation in my head and failed miserably, but as far I know there weren't any major standouts for either side so I think it could be terrifyingly close.

Can confirm. :P
Had Holland been E1 instead of E3 ACT would've won by 3 points.
