Western Australian State Cricket Team: Treble Winners. Again

[eth-dog]

Catch 22 isn't it? Do you give them a chance of winning or bat 6 or so overs and try to bat them out of it? I favour the former

Pretty sure the first session is extended by 30 minutes due to time lost on the first day.

The pitch seems pretty flat.
I would bat for around an hour and then declare.

That's fair. 12 overs and then declaring gives you 10 overs under lights with the second new ball

Teams rarely like to leave themselves in a position to lose these days. Reckon they bat 20 or 30 overs if they can, still gives them 60-70 to bowl them out but pushes the lead out to 400. Personally, I'd try to add 50 in 10 overs and give them 350 to chase.

Honestly we could of gone harder last night

Bancroft batting selfishly instead of giving his bowlers the most overs to take 10 wickets?

Pretty much bang on, it seems. The bowlers have enough time, it's up to them to get it done now.

No chance of a win here.

Massive rain storm

How many overs left? Need to get the ball hooping under lights and bring on Jhye and Lance.

Pomme Mbangwa I'm guessing. Did a lot of his schooling in England.

I must admit I'm watching the other game but he's the only guy I've heard commentate SA with a partially English accent.

Bancroft and co were too slow to score and it will probably cost us the win.

Not enough balls hitting the stumps here

Ball has gotten wet and doing nothing if it’s pitched up.

17 overs lost to rain. Four wickets the difference. What might've been.

Rain was always forecast. Was pushed back from coming in at 11am to 5pm.

Wa should have declared at least 20 overs earlier. 300 was never being chased.

But first thought is not to lose, rather than try and win.
