Proper nostalgic feel to this, the atmosphere, the full house, the pitch invasion. You can't buy this level of meaning in a T20 tournament with franchises created out of thin air. Well done, SA.

Great to see the atmostphere of the ground. Old classic era vibe. Any kid watching it live on the ground would surely have dreams of representing his country at the Test level 🎉🎉

What a match. The ebbs and flows of the game. One minute bowlers on top, next the batsmen are on top. Great win for SA, they deserved it as they did play better overall. Kudos for QLD for not throwing in the towel after the 1st innings.

The crowd rushing the field is so wholesome lmao

This was an amazing final. I was listening in and can't believe how much the game swung from day to day, hour to hour. Amazing cricket. A match to remember. Insane crowd!

Great scenes. Have some of that T20/Hundred. Proper cricket and even a good old fashioned pitch invasion at the end. Long live red ball cricket

Alex Carey has gone up a level. Already best gloves in the world, turning into an world class batter

Congrats SA from a NSW blues fan.. I remember Jamie Siddons and his team hanging on for a draw to win the shield in 1996. Doggett and Sangha are now on the short list for the Australian team.

Fantastic to see all that local support for the deserved win by the Crowies.

[gordonwells]

The best shield final and result in a long time. Great to see the crowd involvement and passion for the win. A team and state that appreciates the sheffield shield.

Reminded me of Lillee running off the ground in the old days, with all supporters chasing like they were in chariots of fire 😃 Love that the long format still lives large. Well done to everyone who played in that awesome game, congrats South Aussies. Peach of an oval. Can the groundsman give me a buzz, got a problem with the army grub😅

[LJW]

Absolutely amazing to see the crowd like that. It's what red ball cricket is, and can be. The absolute best of the game.

After the disaster of the first day, what a great final, it turned out to be. Queensland was very gallant, but full credit to South Australia, they made history in their chase and 100% deserved to be holding up that shield for the first time in 29 years.

[mattmaloney]

What a classic game. Greatest 4th innings run chase in a final.

[kerrymattrobertsharris]

Sangha dropped on 13, made them pay. His cut shots were brilliant to watch. Great final, great crowd. Sheffield Shield is pure cricket.
