Carey, McAndrew give SA renewed hope in Shield final
Alex Carey and Nathan McAndrew's 82-run partnership halted Victoria's momentum, boosting South Australia's chances to defend their Sheffield Shield title at Junction Oval.
- At lunch on day four, the Sheffield Shield final at Junction Oval saw the batting side reach 7-204, establishing a 141-run lead over Victoria in their second innings.
- Earlier, the innings resumed on 5-94 when Victorian bowler Scott Boland threatened a hat-trick; Alex Carey and Nathan McAndrew subsequently dug in to stabilize the match.
- Carey remained 69 not out after resuming on 24, while McAndrew contributed 52 not out to their crucial 82-run stand, with both surviving edges past Will Sutherland and Peter Handscomb.
- Given the life remaining in the Junction Oval wicket, the batting side fancies their chances of bowling Victoria out cheaply to secure the Shield title.
