Queensland 110 for path 5 (mcandrew 3-36) South Australia 614 for December 7 (Mcinerney 142, Lehmann 130*, Carey 104, Sangha 67) for 504 races
Sheffield Shield South Australia leaders have shattered the hopes of Queensland to make the final, leading home in Karen Rolton Oval.
Queensland began the last round in second place, but new South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria have the same number of victories and less than five points separate the four teams on the stairs. Except for a miracle in the next two days, Queensland appears outside the containment of the title.
SA resumed Sunday in a healthy 359 for 4, with Carey and Lehmann in the fold. Carey published his third summer shield and Lehmann scored his second in so many tickets to stack the pain in Queensland.
When Carey was fired for 104 of 100 balls, with 11 four and two six, he and Lehmann had put 175 for the fifth Wickt. Carey would have been frustrated when falling to the average rhythm of Labuschagne, providing a capture in half.
Lehmann ended in 130 not out of 182 deliveries, with 14 four, after combining with Ben Maneti (49) and McAndrew (41) to further reinforce the total imposing first of first entries from SA.
Already in a terrible narrow, Queensland had the worst possible beginning for its entrances when McAndrew caught the openers Lachie Hearne and Matt Renshaw Lbw in their first Over. He also eliminated Jake Clayton in the same way around the Wickt to finish the day with 3 for 36.
With Labuschagne in the fold, Queensland still had a weak hope of a counterattack. But Thornton (2-32) caught him by Manenti in the second slip for 23, before removing Ben McDermott (35) through a ski extraction shot that was a bag by Carey.
Jimmy Peirson and Michael Neser are the batters, with visitors even more than 500 races with two days to play.
