[Westend]

oh look a green top and morris and jhye are sitting in the stands doing sweet fa

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

2 wickets in the first 2 balls, both to Neser. Marnus would say it's all due to his leadership

 

[Westend]

mitch gone

what a absolute disaster for WA to start the season

lads stuck in pre season mode

 

[RookiePick]

Neser dismembered the WA top order. Need something special from the middle order here.

 

[largebus]

Geewhiz we could be in for some serious regression this year.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

3/47 from 27 overs at lunch.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Would have to be WA's weakest attack for a while.

 

[new breed]

Inglis showing some form here , 68 of 64 balls ....

 

[RookiePick]

Marnus firing down a few overs here. This is what you watch the shield for.

 

[THE A5]

Great ton by inglis

It's the WA way... plenty of collapses but someone always stands up. Good work by Whiteman and Inglis here to save the day. Will be nice if they can get to stumps.

Yeah Jack

Fantastic hundreds by the captain and Inglis and young Connolly looks in good form

Didn’t look good at the start

 

[JackOutback]

Sorry guys, Inglis getting out is on me. Shouldn’t have said anything.

 

[Freezin]

Great fightback by WA considering their start. Push up over 350, and try to put Qld top order under the pump with some early wickets.

 

[eth-dog]

Remarkable parallels between the Vics and WA innings'. Get sent in, get into early trouble, but saved by two experienced bats, one being patient (Whiteman/Handscomb) and the other really pushing the run rate (Inglis/Harris) but both finishing 7 down with a pretty good score for the day.

 

[Cmarsh]

Great ton by inglis

A selection battle between Carey and Inglis for the test keeping position looms again. Going to be very tempting for the selectors to think very hard about Inglis with his ability to score quickly.
