Boon was at the non-strikers end when Hills achieved the record. Tasmania's 569 is the highest First-class score at Bellerive Oval. Miller's match figures of 12/119 are a Tasmanian Sheffield Shield record, eclipsing RL Brown's 11/183 v South Australia, Adelaide, 1985/86. Tasmania's win by an innings and 151 runs is its most emphatic in Sheffield Shield cricket, eclipsing an innings and 5 runs win against Queensland, brisbane, 1992-93.
