Brisbane, March 7 -- Queensland's Sheffield Shield title hopes have taken a major hit after they suffered a calamitous batting collapse against last-placed Western Australia.
Chasing 267, Queensland crashed to 6-43 at Allan Border Field on Saturday before bad light ended day three.
The Bulls started the penultimate round in second spot, but South Australia's nine-wicket win over NSW has pushed Queensland down to third on the live ladder. It means Queensland needed to go all out for victory against WA, but their batting collapse - and a terrible weather forecast for Sunday - has left their hopes in tatters.
Between 20mm to 90mm of rain is forecast for the area on Sunday, meaning a very real chance the match will end in a draw.
