The 33-year-old Carey had returned from a hectic season of international duties and straight from the Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan, where Australia lost in the semifinals to India. Queensland was bowled out for 95 in its first innings — the lowest total of any team batting first in a Shield final which involves Australian state sides. South Australia posted 271 all out in reply. Queensland appeared down and out at 221-6 in its second innings, just 45 runs ahead, at lunch on the third day Friday. But centuries from Jack Wildermuth (111) and Jack Clayton (100) led a comeback and Queensland reached 445 in its second innings for its 269-run lead. The highest previous run chase to win a Shield final was Victoria's 239-2 against New South Wales in 1990-91. Jake Lehmann scored 102 in South Australia's first innings. He's the son of South Australian great and former Australian national coach Darren Lehmann, who played in the state's last Shield victory in 1995-96.
