I'll be filthy if we don't win this.
Did we really have to given pretty much 450?

370 would've been much more reasonable.

Should’ve declared once Inglis got 100

I don't know how many we were in front then but 450 was way to many.

 

[Dazzler9]

It's all under controls folks, don't fret.

Around 400 I think

Correction - about 370ish

 

[Dazzler9]

Nearly there.

Handy one by Rocco.

With SA hanging on, it's down to 3.

Carna WA!

2 more poles lads!

Job done.

We win, Tassie win and SA hold on for the draw by about 10 minutes. Couldn't have gone much better.

NSW still breathing down our necks. We may not be able to afford a draw against Victoria. Thankfully they lost and so will have to produce a result deck.

 

[Dazzler9]

Edit: I forgot that you get a point if the game is drawn, so a draw will almost certainly be good enough

Two excellent catches in the slips to get rid of Wildermuth and Sandhu.

If you want your kid to have great hands, name him Cameron.

Nice win from us.

For us to make the final: We must NOT lose against the VICs otherwise we won't make the finals. All we need is a win ideally or a draw to make it to the final. Watch the VIC groundsman turn the pitch into a minefield since a flat pitch favours us since we only need a draw.

For us to have a home final: We would need SA to beat TAS outright (which seems unlikely) and hope that TAS doesn't get a lot of bonus batting and bowling points and for us to beat VIC with bonus points.

If SA and TAS draws then we would need to win and have max bowling BP in both innings and some batting points and hope that SA bats long enough for TAS bowling points to not matter plus SA bowls TAS out for less than 200 in both innings so TAS doesn't get bonus batting points.

Having a home final helps because we can draw but if we have to play in TAS then we would need an outright win.

This is no longer the case xIV, and hasn't been for a number of years. The HGA in Shield finals is greatly diminished these days. The first 2-3 days are a battle to gain the first innings BP lead and dictate terms from there.

Let's never forget that it was WA robbed by the stupid 'home team wins a draw' rule and Victoria who cheated their way to the title. That year should have an asterisk against it.

This is an opportunity for vengeance.

Wonder when people will start talking about Rocchiccioli getting higher honours.
After taking 25 wickets last season, he's fourth on the list this year with 37.

Compare this to Todd Murphy taking 14, albeit with 2 games less.

I'm on the Rocco train.

I was only half listening, and I'm not even sure it was the game I was watching, but there was suggestion during the one-day final that he should move to a state where he'd get more spin-friendly wickets and opportunities.

Agar plays before him in the 50 over games but he's first selected in the Shield.

He's more than handy with the bat as well.

Hope he stays.

WA loses enough players every season to national duties. It would be nice to keep one for a season.
