Not sure the 5 bowlers is the right call again. I'd play Hobson at 7 tbh

 

[Wce17]

Phillipe is trash.

Banking on McKenzie and Paris to stand up with the bat

Phillipe's poor form with the bat continues as well

I've watched him in Premier cricket, his technique isn't the best. Like Philippe really.

4 down at lunch, relying on Bancroft to snail us back into the game is a dangerous business

 

[Tugga27]

Was Whiteman a bit stiff?

Thought there was a gap between bat and ball on the replay.

 

[corbies]

That Cartwright dismissal is really odd. It's like he didn't pick up the ball.

It kept a bit low but hardly surprising given Moises lack of pace.

NSW's batting is the only hope now

Been deplorable past two seasons. Blues have not won a match since Feb,'22.

Who's the next cab off the rank to wicketkeep in the 4 day arena, if they have to drop Phillipe & assuming Inglis is unavailable?

Sport FM were talking up a young lad who's batting well in the futures league today. Forget his name unfortunately

Joel Curtis made a ton today.

Or does Bancroft keep?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

As much as I am keen to see WA taken down a peg or three. Both Lyon's LBW's were marginal at best.
Wyllie's was a tad high. Clipping bails at best. McKenzie stiff IMO, sliding down for mine.

Brilliant ball from a high quality shield bowler. Dismissals like that can happen.

 

[largebus]

Whatever the Spirit of Cricket is, this has got to be one of the worst trangressions against it in a while.
Clearly bounces and they all sook about it not given out. What a surprise that Liam Hatcher is just an uglier Jonny Bairstow.

 

[corbies]

Not even close to being a red ball top six batsman.
Leave him in the BBL or ODD, that is his game.

Slap in the face for rookie Jack Nisbet after his fine debut. Hatcher has never cemented a spot and only taken a mediocre 35 @35. How in any universe is that FC standard.



Blues have not won a match since Feb '22, with our batting being the prime reason. So lets not hold our breath.

Hatcher 4 wickets. Davies currently 62*. You really do have a magic touch haha.

The Davies situation is interesting. As someone who watches as little T20 as possible, I am aware of Davies, but haven't seen him play. I remember years ago people saying Warner was only a T20 slogger, but he turned out to be a very successful cricketer in all forms of the game. Fingers crossed for Davies, always good to see young talent doing well.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wow, WA 135 behind on the 1st innings, 4/22 in the 2nd. Tremain bowling hand grenades 4/3
Number 5 seems to be a little too high for Phillippe.

 

[ioppolo]

Jeez this is the most insipid WA performance in a long, long time.

 

[ioppolo]

Tremain 5/7. WA pls

 

[largebus]

Most wa 1st grade sides would put up a better fight than this.

 

[Plugger35]

Just imagine how bad this scorecard would look if Bancroft hadn't scored over half of WA's runs, it already looks bad enough as it is.

hits the ball extremely hard, still only 23 too. Does remind me alot of Warner, compact technique but hits a long ball.

is there a full days rain forecast tomorrow, so WA escape with a draw?

It's only day 3 tomorrow.

It's only day 3 tomorrow.
