Shield final confirmed but the season batting numbers are grim reading

We know it will be Victoria vs South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final but the real question is, why have the runs been so hard to come by this season? Corbin and Ed dive into the top run scorers including thoughts on Konstas, Bancroft, Renshaw, Handscomb and the rest.

There's also the NSW One Day Cup win and how it reflects on Greg Shipperd's sacking, The Hundred auctions and if that foreshadows what the Big Bash could morph into and some quirky cricket stories including a father son batting partnership for the ages.
