Tassie have been very hot and cold this season. The last two games are a great example of that - thrashed last week by the otherwise winless Vic, and now they go and deny the Sozzies the chance to play in this year's final.
Not only did they beat them by an innings and 300-odd runs, it became Tassie's greatest ever victory, and their 651 is their highest ever score. Evan Gulbis, batting at 8, made his first 1st class century aa good one - 229 - which is the highest by a number 8 in Shield history.
Not a great season for Tassie, but they go out on a good high.
