So, do we drop Harris? He's certainly well into "had enough chances" territory.
Klinger to open with someone else to slot in at 6? Bosisto obviously can't bowl until his chucking issues are resolved, but he's sitting on 650+ runs at 50 in first grade. Turner another option.
Other than that, you'd think a fit Hogan would come in for Tye? Don't think we can drop Moody after 7 on debut.

If we drop Harris and Klinger opens, who bats 3? Marsh has found form and confidence batting down the order. Do we risk ruining that by pushing him back to 3?
Well if Shaun Marsh is a specialist test batsman he shouldn't be batting down at 5 at Shield level anyway.
Plus with Watson's indifferent form there is a test spot open at number 3

FFS can WA name their team for tomorrow already?!
Would be good if they give M Marsh a hit.

They can't. He's in the WC squad.
Why would that matter?
He has obligations that mean he has to stay with the squad wherever they go.
Players have been released from squads to play shield matches previously...
Wishful thinking on my part though

ICC doesn't allow it- would be an unfair advantage to the home teams
World cup squads? Or just squads for general tours?

The forecast (rain, rain and more rain) is going to severely affect our chances of overtaking Vic
Thoughts on the venue for the final ?
The MCG will be unavailable because of the WC. Victoria have said that no other ground in Vic is suitable, so have nominated Bellerive, Hobart.
WA have pointed out a regulation stating that if the side that finishes top does not have a suitable venue in their home state, then the side finishing second can nominate the venue to be used.

We have a pretty solid case, but it wouldn't be the first time CA has ignored it's own rules because, well, reasons.
Apparently Bancroft's 797 minute innings is the longest recorded innings by an Australian

I can't see this Shield final being anything but a draw. I can get over the venue change being in Tasmania, and Victoria deserve the perks of coming first - but this constant occurrence of Shield final pitches being flat roads with the intention of increasing the chances of a draw has got to stop. Either bring in neutral curators, or set up regulations that the home curator has to follow. It's a bad look for the game if a 5 day Shield final can't get a result - especially since so much effort went in to producing results with the new points system this season. Only three draws all season (all coincidentally involving WA, although two of the three probably should have been WA wins if we'd bowled better in the final innings) shows that CA is on the right track, but they really need to sort out this business of lifeless pitches for the final.
That inability of us to take that final wicket against SA probably cost us the home final.

Cricket Victoria were able to give him instructions. The Victorian coach was on the radio and explained the process the other day.I don't understand your logic at all. Is there not a neutral curator for this match? So going by what you're saying there's no reason for it to be a flat pitch
The Victorian coach, Greg Shipperd was my teacher in high school. I can imagine the sort of pitch he wants is one he would like to bat on. Excellent defensive player, who scored a great hundred against a top notch West Indies side back in the early 80s. He made Geoff Boycott look like Afridi.
They are scoring at about 3 an over right now. If they keep that up with wickets in hand, they will need to increase later. Get 450 plus on the board and put pressure on the Vics. Perfect start to the match for the Warriors so far.

Bat to just before tea tomorrow if we can - hopefully the top order do a great job and allows the likes of Agar and NCN to throw the willow for quick runs
Good lad, single-handedly trying to turn back time.
