Copeland back from Test commentary duties and should replace West or Conway in the lineup.

WA XIII

• 35. Hilton CARTWRIGHT (c)
• 39. Will BOSISTO
• 4. Cameron BANCROFT
• 6. Liam GUTHRIE
• Aaron HARDIE (SS debut)

• 3. Joel PARIS
• 27. Josh PHILIPPE
• 9. Sam WHITEMAN (+)

Out: Mitchell MARSH (groin), David MOODY (building loads), Jhye RICHARDSON (Aus duties), D'arcy SHORT (Aus duties), Marcus STOINIS (Aus duties), Ashton TURNER (Aus duties), Jonathan WELLS

A depleted Warriors squad missing numerous players due to Australian duties were dealt a further blow when skipper M.Marsh suffered a blow at training. David Moody (building loads), Ashton Agar (finger) and Shaun Marsh (hamstring) are also missing due to injury. Cameron Bancroft returns after suspension and Sam Whiteman has also been named for possibly his first game in 2 years. Wells's solid Big Bash form was not enough to compensate for his poor Shield form this season - hitting only 77 runs across 7 innings for an average of 11.00.

Could be an ugly match, but I'm looking forward to seeing Whiteman, Bancroft and Paris back in the side, and would like to see Morris get a bowl.

NSW squad updated, unlike the WA squad, just 1 in.

Hope is a batting all-rounder.

Just looked at his cricinfo profile and other than an 87 he didn't seem to have done anything with the stick

Oh damn

Was hoping for a Draw but given the coach only picks West Australians for the Aussie team, their season is over in the shield.

Well, Bankstown is usually a road...

NCN and Berhrendorff injured?

In India aren't they?

Yep.

I think rain is WA's best hope and it's been raining quite heavily today already.

But I can’t see the batting in that WA lineup to make the most of it. NSW will make 600+

NSW looks pretty pop gun attack though as well, and Bancroft can face like 300 balls in a game

 

[eth-dog]

WA won the toss and elected to bat.

 

[grimlock]

Copeland for West

 

[eth-dog]

Philippe keeping?

Batting at 3 and keeping. Hmm, not sure that's the wisest decision ever.

 

[PastiesPeake]

Genuinely the worst side we've ever rolled out

 

[eth-dog]

I dunno about the rest of you butvwhenever I see Conway play he seems like a not as good version of Copeland/Abbott. I would have thought the variety of West (being a left armer and all) would put him ahead of Conway, and the fact he was better in the last game. Especially since Edwards/Moises are similar types of seamers to Copeland, Abbott and Conway.

Lol @ Cartwright. Moronic shot.
