Shield Western Australia Vs Victoria @ WACA, March 14th-17th 2023

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Disappointe Teague got out. Was hoping for a good look at him.

 

[BGman]

what commitments does Morris have - is he off to County?

Now he has done his Indian apprenticeship why didnt George and the boys pick him in the A tour to Kiwiland? He'd fancy flinging down the Dukes at his blistering pace on those Kiwi green tops..

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Must be something in the deck, but our batting looks skinny without Marsh, Inglis and Stoinis.

WA has been winning most of the season without those players.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Wozzies 3/45 at lunch. Only 28 overs bowled in the session. Very poor from Victoria .

Not really re the deck. Tight bowling was more the issue than the pitch.

Saving him for the World Test championship final against India

 

[Drunkcat]

Well that's standard practice for WA players who get picked in the national squad these days TIC

So stop whingeing tugga !!!

That's all he ever does

Nah. First session at the WACA is always 28/29 overs. When Dutchy comes on the game will speed up

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Great catch by Perry to remove a stunned unlucky Hardie.

 

[eth-dog]

Get one of these two cheaply and we're well on top. Cartwright is having an excellent season so he's the key wicket

 

[ioppolo]

Now Hardie gone. Not a great start for WA.

 

[Westend]

Not looking good

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Perry has bowled 7 overs, 0/3 which includes a No ball.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hoss is looking good.

 

[CakeEater]

No mitch marsh no wa, right Grand Uncle Horace ?

hi Cakey

Thats Mitch the Mere Marsh to you ya wee scamp.

 

[Perty4]

WA Vic final again. Should be a very tight contest.

 

[eth-dog]

Not sure about the resting tactics from WA here. Victoria have won 4 on the trot, wouldn't you rather play Queensland without Khawaja, Labuschagne, Swepson and Kuhnemann? Also potentially no Neser or Steketee? Whereas Victoria will basically only be missing an out of form Maddinson and Maxwell.

Don't think we are resting eth-dog....bowling is pretty good and we are struggling to hit it off the square

You're resting Kelly and Paris for the chucker and the pie warmer

Paris had a back issue so the only rested player was Kelly, who's bowled the most out of all of them.

Caleb Jewell just got out on 98

We did ask for Morris to play but where told no

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hoss gone.

 

[eth-dog]

Massive wicket. They were starting to get a partnership together. Need to roll through them now, don't let them in the game.

 

[Westend]

100 up
