Enough lads - need to get some distance from Vic and SA on the table. Call it already!

Seems to have flattened out.

503 which probably won't be chased. How many overs left today?
Why leave it so tight?
Surely 400 was more that enough.
I'd rather an extra 25 overs at them if need be.

Going on what I saw today he has toiled well on his spin play. Liked how he was positive never letting Freeman settle into a rythm, used his feet to get to the pitch if driving and generally used all of the crease to play off both back and front foot if pushing singles/twos. If I have one small critique it is his need to defend more on the front foot to smother any turn, as he mostly played back on his stumps and looked rushed and a touch uncomfortable.

500 is a tad ridiculous, zero need for that many runs.

Worst case scenario we can't bwol them out. 400 in 150 overs becomes possible for Tas.
500 in 120 overs isn't. Gotta take the loss out of the equation when your top of the table

It was the wrong choice. 430 in 130 was on offer. That was the perfect one. Dangle the hint of a win (still need to go at 3.4 an over) and get them playing more aggressively. Tassie can shut up shop now, a draw keeps them alive and as a Victorian I couldn't be happier about Whiteman's decision. If Tassie get the draw then we simply have to win the last two to host.

Laughable.

Get Bancroft on the plane to India. Is in great form, has had a great season.
He can't do anymore than that

A loss doesn't mean anything to us.
We need outright points.

Still think WA will win comfortably.

That shot early in his innings is so uncharacteristic for Tim Ward. Seems he and Jewell were told to go after the bowling. Not sure these are very smart tactics.
Tassie imploding. Bloody awful tactics.

I'd hardly say sitting on top of the ladder, current champions and 500 in front with 9 wickets to get is "regularly" TBH.

Can the WA OP's tell us a bit about Hardie?
I don't know anything about him but he looks like he goes allright.
