Ok, I'll stop now
Whadya all complaining about then
Who won the Shield?
Christ I'm embarrassed by these whinging Westerners. It's not a conspiracy, the world isn't against you. You lost, just stfu.
More annoyed about the pitch than where it was played.
Why is everyone so scared of a 'real' game on a proper wicket. Wickets like that do nothing for cricket.
Compensate WA hahaha lol. For what? finishing 2nd and having to play away, like every other bloody team who finishes second...Due to exceptional circumstance?
You mean the only time in history there has been a need to apply the rule?
CA ignored it's own rule and WA were disadvantaged by that.
Yes Victoria were the better team this season but that fact remains that CA ignored it's own rule.
I wonder how they will compensate the WACA for that.

How can you be disadvantaged? You were playing away anyway, Victoria were the one's disadvantaged by not playing in Vic.

I don't think anyone is, it's just the way the system is set up at the moment. Needs some changes made to encourage a different kind of wicket to be prepared.
Well that rule should be changed because it's crap. finish first host the final, if unavailable. Neutral.Compensate WA for blatantly disregarding the rules.
The rule says that WA should have hosted.
Should have sent them up to our spiritual home! 100% win rate too!We played by the rules given to us by CA, going by last years precedent we could have played game in Alice Springs and WA would have had no right to complain!
ok thanks.
IF WA won today, would you be complaining?
I think to some extent people also need to understand that WA cricket has been down for a long time, there is a lot of disappointment floating around at just missing the Shield two seasons in a row. I don't have an issue with the location of the final but, much like Langer, the pitch and nature of these finals does s**t me. Will wallow for a while I think.so the sooking does need to stop.
Tbf the issues with the placid nature of the pitch isn't just this year, it happens every year and there's a strong motivation for it to be prepared that way, year after year.I think to some extent people also need to understand that WA cricket has been down for a long time, there is a lot of disappointment floating around at just missing the Shield two seasons in a row.

I'm not complaining about it this year specifically, I just think generally it's a rubbish way to end the Shield season. The final should be exciting, promoting good attacking cricket and attracting new fans to the domestic game. At the moment it does the opposite. Changes need to be made.Tbf the issues with the placid nature of the pitch isn't just this year, it happens every year and there's a strong motivation for it to be prepared that way, year after year.
Essentially to win the shield you need to finish first, as a general rule.
