The win moves South Australia to the top of the table, but their captain Ben Manenti admitted afterwards that he had given up on the victory. <\/p>\n
“I thought we were gone, then back in it, then gone again and back in it,” he said. <\/p>\n
“I was content with the draw more than anything.<\/p>\n
“But Wes [Agar] nailed six beautiful yorkers back to back.<\/p>\n
“Realistically we needed two wickets and they needed six runs. They could have hit six singles to the deep guy and walked it home.<\/p>\n
“Hell of a game of Shield cricket.”<\/p>\n
During the chase, there was also an incident reminiscent of Jonny Bairstow being controversially run out by Alex Carey at Lord’s in last summer’s Ashes.<\/p>\n
With the Tigers going well, South Australia opted to go to a short-ball plan in an attempt to limit the scoring. <\/p>\n
Tim Ward, who made 142, ducked a bouncer off Henry Thornton, before scratching his guard and walking out of his crease, a la Bairstow. <\/p>\n
Harry Nielsen threw down the stumps but the appeal was denied, with the umpires deciding that over had been called.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
