Finch has been terrible, again.

He should fall on his sword.

He'd probably miss.

He was keeping down the other end beautifully for a while there.

But yes, should have retired after the T20 win but seems to be (selfishly) staying on for the home tournament.

I've been waiting for a Shooting Stars version for nearly 36 hours now.

Stuffed up the end to this innings after the great platform

Pakistan bowlers have fought back well

 

[Doashuey]

Despite Head making it look a road, this pitch is not easy batting. This will prove a very good score on this deck.

Pakistan like their bit part all rounders in limited overs.
Abbot, Green, Ellis, Zampa, Swepson, Head, Stoinis.
Pakistan should be chasing 314 with that attack. A lot riding on Zampa.

 

[KBLT]

Zampa has become an absolute weapon for us. It's too bad he can't get it to translate to the longer form.

Nice call.

Harris out of the final with COVID. That's a big boost for WA.

Or is it?

He's not up to Test level but he's undoubtedly bossed the Shield. Haven't checked his record at the WACA, admittedly.

It was more a tongue in cheek sledge.

I'd prefer they were missing Boland. Look at all the guys we have out - Marsh, Inglis, Agar, Green, Richo, (Turner and Dorff(?). There's a real core of guys that have been there for the past 5 years or so.

Kelly, Paris and Hardie to get it done with the ball. Banners, Whiteman and Cartwright in some form. Home ground advantage.

We've given ourselves every chance to break the drought. Carn the boys!

The pitch will be interesting. The roadier the better, but with recent weather, who knows?

Thread title needs amending. Drop the Summer.

Summer isn't over until the Shield is done.

Controversial selection I have to say (via cricinfo)

At least she's got the right colours on in that photo.

Can’t believe Wyllie coyote is playing in a shield final in his second FC match. Looked good during the last match once he got in though

If the final is a draw, the team with the most bonus points from the first innings wins the title.

You know there's a function now that allows you to put a time delay on your posts? I suggest 5 days, just to be safe.

Not sure what Vics were thinking sending us in to bat on a 30 degree day, WACA pitch???
