Probably bat through this middle session, come to think of it.

Wickets in hand, time to go full Bazball.

I agree. Get to 420ish ASAP and declare. The pitch has flattened out, but if Tassie can score that in 4 sessions then fair play to them. They'll have to chase it too, thus creating wicket-taking opportunities.

Shoudve sent Stoinis out instead of Cartwright

7 off 3. Reverse sweep for 4. I think there's some intent here.

Reverse sweep for 4.

Get him to India

Staggered how MM and Richo can be included when they're not even playing at the moment.

Did you miss us taking Starc, Hazelwood and Green to India for the tests?

 

[Dazzler9]

Not too sure why we're still batting here.

Yep

How many we want?

 

[Ochre]

I assume we're letting Hardie get 50

If we are, it makes no sense.

 

[Dazzler9]

Finally. Were going for 500+ lead.

 

[Tugga27]

Be nice to knock 2 or 3 over tonight.

 

[ioppolo]

Bancroft might be headed to India shortly unfortunately for WA

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Guess with the big lead on the ladder, they must feel that avoiding an outright loss is more important than winning the match. Still plenty of time to knock over this lineup, which frankly isn’t very good.

I know players aspire to play Test cricket, but it'd be such a sh!tty time for anyone to get a call up with the clown show that is going on over there.

 

[ioppolo]

Also as if Inglis will actually see any game time ahead of Carey. He'll the be glorified tourist.

I wouldn't be taking anything for granted. Our last two games are both against the Vics!

Our lead is not that big if we don't get outright points for a win.
An outright loss means nothing to us.

Last two games are Tassie and Victoria.

I'm thinking/hoping they will rest Carey ar some stage and give him a game.

I think he's on standby if they get another injury.
Hope not.

 

[Dazzler9]

Ah yes. We go back to back against TAS, not VIC.

Regardless, we have a slender lead with two games after this one. People are talking like we have top spot wrapped up. We don't

 

[Dazzler9]

Qld are a big chance of another win against NSW too. I'm not at all confident of a berth in the final just yet.

Long story short, we should be pushing hard for a win in Hobart, not be content with a draw.
