SA have thrown the anchors out

We won’t lose but like our last match are probably going to fall short of bowling them out leaving with another draw from a game we could’ve won

They're 3 down at lunch, this seems premature.

 

[darksquare]

Did WA bat on this morning?

Nope, and we have 3 wickets by lunch. Paris 8 wickets for the game, and counting.

3 wickets in the first session was handy.

Need another 3 or 4 next session.
It's hard to get players out when the don't play any shots.

Wasn't he retired? Selectors make surprising decision to recall veteran to captain T20 squad ahead of Travis

Matthew Wade has been handed a surprise reprieve to lead the Australian T20 side for the five-match series in India after the World Cup.…

Good to see the selectors using a meaningless series as an opportunity to refresh the team and get some experience into the players of future

Made Wade captain as well.
Unbelievable.

Holy shit Bancroft

Rocchiccioli!

Game on alright.

 

[Ochre]

Annoying they've cropped it for some reason so you cant see a proper full speed version.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Banners could almost get a look in on fielding alone atm.

Surely makes the Test squad for the home summer.

I wonder if he's next in line when Warner's finished. There can be no argument if it was based on form and Shield runs.

I think Banners and Renshaw next line for Warner and Uzzie.

On weight of runs, it should be Banners, but they preferred Renshaw in the Ashes.

Seems Gannon injured himself…. came out of the attack part way thru the 14th over and hasn’t bowled since.

Stobo as sub just took a great catch to get rid of Manenti.

Joel Paris.

What could have been. Sigh.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

11 wickets in the match for Paris!

 

[Wce17]

Great spell from Haskett in that hour before tea. Needed him to step up with Gannon going down early & Paris/Hardie/Rocco needing a break.

Managed to Snag Nielson, Manenti & McSweeney & really broke SA’s back just when you thought it might be a chance for them to grind it out. He’s been very very impressive so far this season.

 

[Tugga27]

Let's hope Tasmania can hold on for a draw.

 

[Dazzler9]

Joel Paris.

What could have been. Sigh.

I wonder if he'll be a sneaky chance at a Test or two before his time is done. There's no question on the ability front.

He was back up for Starc in the Ashes, so he must be on the radar.

Shit, Tasmania have gotten up to win.

I very much suspect Bancroft and Warner will never be selected in the same team again.

Hopefully Warner rides off into the sunset before Bancroft is over the hill.

Huge win by the Warriors. Paris played a ball-tearer of a match.

Yep. There's definitely some sort of carryover animosity within the current Aussie setup. My view is that if Smith and Warner can be selected then so can Bancroft.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Not like Warner to leave Bancroft holding the can

 

[Tugga27]

Shows you how strong the Scorchers have been over the years.
At times when we were at full strength, Willey struggled to get a game for us.

 

[Farang83150]

Bammy army don't get a look in at all whenever India are playing the poms...

 

[Farang83150]

So the poms need 230 to win.

 

[Ochre]

Poms winning out while they're still not mathematically eliminated to get their fans hopes up/make them realise how badly they've blown it when they just miss out on the semis could be a very fun storyline for the back half of this tournament.

Could do the Moral Ashes/Moral WC winners double.
