Tiny Pinder was sentenced today

Still carrying out sexual based offenses at 67, wow what a slow learner, glad he will be deported at end of sentence, but sorry for his kids around Australia.

So the old rule where we would've won if this game is a draw has been thrown out?

Even with all the players out I still reckon we look far too strong on paper tbh. Probably got ourselves a first innings total already that Tasmania won't match but hey stranger things have happened.

Yeah it's first innings points deciding if it's a draw. Ten overs left to pile on more runs before the points stop being awarded and then Tasmania need to score more runs over 200 before the end of the 100th over or we bowl and WA take as many wickets by then.

325 for 8 with a lot of quality batters scoring basically nothing could mean that second innings goes on for days.

As Taylor mentioned if the game ends in a draw, the team with more bonus points from the game wins.

Geez the commentary is woeful for the shield final. I’ve muted it.

Funny how during the season they have local commentators and for the final the Fox guys just call it from Sydney. BJ is terrible

Won't change until WA start taking wickets and Tassie start scoring runs above 200, all within 100 overs.

 

[Paracleet]

This constant crapping on about the slips being out of position is a new low. They've been calling off a monitor for 4 years and still don't #$%@ing understand parallax error.

Another wicket before the end of play would put us in the box seat I'd think.

5/151 - they shouldn't get close to the first innings score here.

And with borderline corrupt umpiring against them all day. Level above the whole game so far

Turned on Kayo and Gannon gets Silk first ball I watch.

Is that me batting at 8?

*, I turned it over to watch the footy the ball before.

Pitch has a little bit of green in it still.

You stay away then. Either that or come back and then leave again.

Games over lets be honest. In hindsight it was 1/2 over when Tasmania allowed a hundred run partnership for opening wicket and 3/4 over when they allowed Connolly 10 or so free swings yesterday after tea.

 

[Paracleet]

With an opportunity to look at them closely, the Tasmanian top and middle order is not flash. They look like grade cricketers.

Yeah it would have to be a stunning comeback from here.

Not long till the new ball. Hopefully we can get through their tail sharpish in the morning. We just need to set a target of 350+

Its really hard for Tasmania as they have to go hunting for wickets when they bowl a second time and short of miracle they're going to be condeeding a hundred plus lead. We've seen on this deck that if you drop short or overpitch, in particular, it's easy to hit but a dry line and length is very hard to score from; and that's where all the day 1 soft track divots are. Plus their spinner whilst capable of generating big turn and drift is simply not in Rocchiccioli's class for accuracy or consistency (arguably he's the second best spinner in the country right now), and he can't bowl all day.

I.e. If they bowl dry WA will block their way to a 300 plus lead, if they attack we'll slog our way to a 300 plus lead.

Tassie would need about 200 runs off the last 25 overs without losing a wicket to get in front of WA.

Tassie will have to look for an outright here now. Still 3 days left and anything can happen, but WA in a strong position.

 

[Joao]

I don't watch a lot of shield (except highlights). Will the deck get easier to bat on day 3 onwards?
