Shield Round 1: Western Australia vs Queensland, WACA, 8-11 Oct

[THE A5]

204 lead with bison/cartwright/ingo/connolly left. Perhaps get to 270 ish quickly and send them in and see what can happen

 

[JackOutback]

Don't reckon they'll risk losing in order to win and 270 in almost a day could be achieved pretty easily. A bold declaration would be adding 120 in 30 overs and giving them 320 to chase in 60, but reckon they'll add 150 at least, if they can, to bat them out of the game. Queensland wouldn't chase 350 in 50 overs, so a draw more likely.

 

[RookiePick]

Rome wasn't built in a day.

WA will set the game up where the most likely outcome is a draw with a a vanishingly slim chance of a WA win. QLD win should get batted out of the possibilities by lunch.

I'm sure it'll be a draw but batting after lunch was a waste of time imo

 

[Cleavy]

what was the points situation after the 1st inngs?

EDIT: nevermind
