Forfeit the rest of the season
There wouldn't be any danger of you actually praising our boys once in a while is there?
Didn't see the dismissal (replay not available yet) but SA needed 36 off 8 balls with 1 wicket in hand, and I'm assuming he went the slog and got out...gifting WA the points. A team with a spine would play for the draw.

Kelly is a beast.

That’s appalling cricket by zampa - I’d be furious at u/12 level - let alone a front line international player
Not as bad as Gabriel trying to hit Yasir Shah out of the stadium in a similar predicament.

I thought that would end up a draw; not sure what Zampa was thinking be he should be walking home after that shot.

So hard to trust his body though. Fingers and toes crossed.
What a magnificent year Marsh is having, if he can lead us to the shield interesting to see how serious people will take his legacy as one of the best batsmen the state has produced.
Another very handy cameo from Agar too for the second time in the match.
Kelly has really thrived since getting his chance, took a while for him to get it given the competition but is now such an integral part of the lineup given the injuries around to our other key bowlers. Always a lot of tears whenever Moody plays but I don't think he's that bad at all, decent enough record and does the job.

At least the Redbacks tried to make a game of it, not like the Tassies who refused to chase 4 runs an over against SA. I don't feel particularly bad about it, because it puts more room between the teams at the top and Victoria.

He should have been the 3rd genuine quality test batsman we've produced since the golden period.
Clarke, Smith, Marsh.
For whatever reason he he hasn't fully delivered on his ability at the top level though. Who knows why.

SOS is Boss.
I don’t really agree with this notion. He’s dominated FC level in his latter years but he’s not in the ilk of some who have dominated their whole career but never converted it to test level. He hits some incredibly elegant shots but that doesn’t mean he should be a high test standard player. His FC average even now is only 41. He relies on overpitched or leg side bowling to cash in. If he gets consistently good bowling, he could never be anything more than a decent test level player imo.
Would rather Green played a few years of consistently good Shield cricket before being called to the Australian side.
