OH I'LL CHECK THE SCORE. *ing sTOBO GOES OUT IMMEDIATELY

To be fair 6 is a big score for him recently.

 

[ep2018]

300+ is a good first innings lead in a final imo.

 

[FKASC]

man, we looked like posting a huge total earlier on. fold

 

[FKASC]

Lucky for us Rocchi will hit 25-30

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Well the selection for the XI pretty much came down to two out of: Short, Wyllie, Connolly and Haskett, and the two that were selected scored 50 (while opening the batting) and 72*, so you’d have to say so far so good in that regard.

Cooper needs to change his name to Clutch

 

[Keys]

8/325 after being sent in is a decent result

We’ve also managed to score at a good rate (3.6rpo) which means we’re in a good position to have a bonus points lead giving us control of the match as a draw becomes as good as a win

Is this his first FC match?

Bonus points are handy but with a 5 day match, scoring down across the comp and no chance of rain, you’d be pretty surprised if there aren’t 20 wickets taken in 450 overs of play.

Coops super impressive today.

I mean, two years ago we had a draw. It happens.

Taking the BP lead allows a team to dictate terms to an extent. They don't need to declare the third innings to set a total, or to chase 400 on the final day. Basically, it gives that side the option of a draw, whereas the other team has to manufacture a win.

Was there rain two years ago?

No

We just kept on batting in the third dig. Game got called off early cos we were so far ahead. Hardie went big.

 

[FKASC]

Just saw the Wade misfield to get Cooper his 50

 

[RookiePick]

Pretty good result after being sent in.

Well done Whiteman. An important captains knock. Cartwright with an important knock too under some pressure.

Hopefully we can hang around in the first session and frustrate the Taswegians

Yes, WA scored 386 batting first with Bancroft scoring 141, Whiteman made 85 and Rocchiccioli smacked 50 off 29 balls batting at number 10. Victoria were then bowled out for 306, trailing by 80.

WA then found themselves 5/110 before Whiteman and Hardie added 174 for the sixth wicket. Whiteman was bowled for 123 while Hardie reached three figures prior to stumps. In the end, WA made it to 7/400 at lunch on the final day, leading by 480 with two sessions remaining before Victoria conceded defeat. Hardie eventually finished on 174 not out.

Vics also had the chance to go for the bonus point and had wickets in hand, but were overly cautious with the bat and that ultimately lost them the match.

 

[Tugga27]

WA slightly in front IMO.
Would be nice to get to 350 or more.

With 4 days to go, there will be an outright result you'd think.

Is it a five day match for the final?

 

[Dazzler9]

Yes

 

[FKASC]

Yes

That’s bizarre. Imagine changing the format of your sport just for the final

It's always been that way.

It's always been that way.

Surely the shield used to be 5 day games at all times?

Weather is absolutely cracking for the duration. Will be heading down tomorrow to catch a session or 2 100%
