Shut up TIA.Should be a cracking final between New Zealand and India.
Well the rule says we should...Love the bitching from WA fans on twitter... bagging the fact a draw shouldn't mean a win
the last 3 finals have been draws... home team always tries to just occupy when batting to put the other team out of it.
Also because our grounds were unavailable they feel they should have gotten a home final despite us finishing on top
Common sense prevails... its not our fault our ground is hosting the world cup finalWell the rule says we should...
Rules are rules.Common sense prevails... its not our fault our ground is hosting the world cup final
Wins are wins.Rules are rules.
Victoria can only play whats in front of them, CA are the people in the wrong here.Wins are wins.
Yeah but they aren't really.... well IMO anyway... you didnt earn a home final and you didn't get one. And we didn't get one that we earntVictoria can only play whats in front of them, CA are the people in the wrong here.
Can we get a hole final?Yeah but they aren't really.... well IMO anyway... you didnt earn a hole final and you didn't get one. And we didn't get one that we earnt
Can we get a hole final?
However the rules state that if the team that finished on top can not provide a a grade venue from their state that right then falls to the second placed team.Yeah but they aren't really.... well IMO anyway... you didnt earn a hole final and you didn't get one. And we didn't get one that we earnt
Have you got a link to these rules? I am interested in seeing them.However the rules state that if the team that finished on top can not provide a a grade venue from their state that right then falls to the second placed team.

Nah us Redbacks are to shit. We're just stay here and have our hole final....only if you have to go to perth
And hence you couldn't provide one. Another thing is WA was happy to play at junction oval but victoria refused.we can provide one... we just happen to have the world cup final on there Sunday..
that said a WA final would have been interesting as a road would have been no good and I'd have backed siddle and J-Pat to get the job done (Assuming that Pattinson wouldn't have gotten hurt)
I don't think it was available to be fairAnd hence you couldn't provide one. Another thing is WA was happy to play at junction oval but victoria refused.
It was available.I don't think it was available to be fair
We have played there in shield finals before so can't see why it would have been knocked back if available
I just looked it up, seems it was. But they deemed the facilities not up to scratch. Don't think it made a great difference to the result still... could have been at Etihad or Geelong or Tassie and the pitch would have been prepared the same wayIt was available.
Not providing a venue is waiving the right."The team that finished first on the points table at the conclusion of the preliminary matches shall earn the right to host the Final
at a suitable First Class venue within its state, provided that this venue is acceptable to Cricket Australia. Should the team waive this right, the choice shall be offered to the team that finished second. Otherwise the decision shall be made by Cricket Australia. "
I don't think Victoria waived the right to host the final. There was no venue acceptable so CA made the decision.
Yep they certainly didn't waive their right. It says able to host at a suitae First Class venue. They chose to host it in Tasmania."The team that finished first on the points table at the conclusion of the preliminary matches shall earn the right to host the Final
at a suitable First Class venue within its state, provided that this venue is acceptable to Cricket Australia. Should the team waive this right, the choice shall be offered to the team that finished second. Otherwise the decision shall be made by Cricket Australia. "
