Shield Sheffield Shield Final: Western Australia vs Victoria, WACA, 23rd-27th March, 1 PM AEDT (10 AM AWST, 11:30 AM ACDT, 12 AEST)

[Chaisa]

If Sutherland wasn't playing Western Australia would probably have already won. 90 isn't much of a target but if everything goes right....

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Well batted Sutherland. Great effort.

 

[RookiePick]

A couple of early wickets and who knows...

Would like to think WA have enough big game experience to bring this in easily but cricket can be a funny old game and Sutherland has to be up and about for at least his first spell after the effort he has been putting in.

 

[Tugga27]

Yup.
I guess if Ash gets a few second inning runs

Sutherland probably needed a ton.

If Turner has to bat again we're in trouble.

 

[4Seasons]

What a seriously great final.
Hopefully Bancroft and Whiteman can get the job done on their own, but these VIC kids do seem like fighters.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Lovely carry still in this pitch

 

[RookiePick]

1 down.

 

[CakeEater]

Ruh roh

Whiteman gorn, smashing middle

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Good call ump - originally I thought missing leg - but that’s straightened nicely

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Boland will give this everything he's got.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yep. This deck is most dangerous with the new red cherry. Whiteman gone already.
Viccos needed 100 more to play with and blew that in the first innings.

Losing 4 wickets for 10 in the 2nd innings didn't help either.

 

[t_94]

He's the cricket expert on the show and the first time he knew the match was even on was when his co-host read out the stumps score to him this morning. He had to ask him where the match was even being played.

Like fair play he's cool and we're nerds but come on that's taking the piss.

Maybe listen to nerds life Geoff lemon or Daniel Brettig if you are seeking well researched opinion but pompous opinions from people would be scared of a tennis ball coming down at 70km/h. If you want to hear someone shooting from the hip who has been there and done it then stick with Clarkey. If you want a little from Column A and a little Column B then I suggest someone like Michael Atherton.

[Belnakor]

Someone tell Wyllie this isn’t slip catching practice

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wyllie not very convincing right now, so he'll probably be there to hit the winning runs

 

[RookiePick]

edge, edge, edge our way to victory!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Boland would just about feel like punching Wyllie in the mouth right now

 

[largebus]

Wyllie is already in poor form and Boland makes him look like Boland batting.

 

[Tugga27]

Dropped

Who was dropped and do you know what the score was?

 

[BGman]

Who was dropped and do you know what the score was?

Wyllie trying to get the chase off to a flyer with a wide drive before getting his eye in.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Who was dropped and do you know what the score was?

Wyllie was dropped. Can't recall the exact score but it would have been less than 10, and I think Wyllie was on 4 at the time, having got off the mark with an edge through slips.

 

[YOTC]

Wyllie should have celebrated that 100 a while back because he's not getting another one batting like this.

 

[Tugga27]

Wyllie should have celebrated that 100 a while back because he's not getting another one batting like this.

He's 18.

Just saying.......

 

[YOTC]

He's 18.

Just saying.......

Haha yeah I was just having fun.

Think he will enjoy it more now he knows the struggle.
