416 ahead, 2 down.

Why wouldn't you send in Green for a hit?

Agreed.

I assume Steve Smith would physically assault the captain if he tried to stop him from batting.

Optus stadium strikes again . Cummins with a quad injury !

Has to be the worst stadium surface ever for injuries

Turns out he did

These crowd numbers are terrible.

In more interesting news, WA definitely shouldn’t lose their Shield match and are maybe a sneaky chance to win if QLD collapse tomorrow. WA are 2-199 and trail by 96 runs. Seems a pretty good batting surface but hopefully they can pile on 400 or a bit more by lunch tomorrow and then send the Bulls back in. Draw is easily the most likely result though.

Barring a miracle (they need almost 300 runs with only 4 wickets left) Tassie will lose to South Australia, which is good news for WA getting a home final.

Bangers another ton...putting his name back in front of the selectors

332 balls faced. I do wonder if he scores too slowly given that there's more enthusiasm in the modern era for batsmen who can put more pressure back on the bowlers.

Anyway, WA trail by 26 at stumps. Nothing to lose at this point, plan should be to come out swinging away in the first session (especially with Inglis and Agar in next) and try to go at around a run a ball in the first session, then declare at lunch and try to bowl Qld out in the afternoon sessions.

If they weren't our main rival, an overnight declaration could've been an option. Let them set a target

There's Bazball, and then there's Bangers-ball..

Pretty nice of Optus to prep a deck that will guarantee I get to watch the Goat rip through the Windies on day 5 whilst hungover on the couch

WA giving the shield game a real shake.

QLD 6-34 still trailing by 98. In with a chance?

In with a very good chance, they’re playing extra cricket because the first day was washed out so I think there’s 30-odd overs left to play.

 

[FKASC]

Doesn’t look that likely unfortunately, but good cricket

 

[Ochre]

Should get bonus points for how good these fields are.

 

[Ochre]

Matt Kelly now bowling spin. And yet there's people that don't think the Sheffield Shield is the greatest competition in world sport.

 

[RookiePick]

Damn. I was hopeful we might break through and snag an unlikely outright in the sdhield.

absolutely loved the GOAT sticking it to the haters - yet again - with a test winning 6-fa.

Good cameo from Head. perfect part timer performance.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

England losing to Pakistan after piling on 657 in the first innings would be absolutely delightful.

 

[Truckosaurus]

That seems a fairly generous declaration from England given what's been scored so far, unless the wicket is finally misbehaving.

Great declaration imo

Good to see the selectors show some dare.

Fastest bowler in Australia gets shock Test call

Will be warming the bench for Boland - this seems like just another effort to stop WA's domestic domination
