Shield Round 1: WA vs Vic, WACA, 4-7 October

[eddiesmith]

From 0/100 at lunch that is a shocking day.

Gifted a game against a weak WA for once and we’ll probably lose.

 

[Westend]

well bowled hardie and roccho

 

[4Seasons]

Still no Richardson or Morris.

They are being rightfully cared for by CA.
Early days in the season. We need to start producing more International players, and CA is helping us out here.
Keep ‘em fit so they can rip.

Might want to follow WA cticket a bit more to call this a weak side.
Not full strength would be a better term, lots of talent available.

Looked away for an hour and about 8 runs scored. So much for Voges going down the Bazball route

 

[Freezin]

I guess the Fraser-McGurk approach didn't help SA v Tassie one bit - bazballing his way to 37 @ 160 and 29 @ 145....so WA are digging in I guess....

73 runs in 1.5 sessions is taking it to the other extreme just a tad.

Geez thank god I stopped watching at lunch. Pretty boring.

 

[largebus]

Century for Bancroft, honestly it probably took too long but well played.

This Vic attack has been less than useless

 

[candyapple]

WA have Hardie Phillipe Turner to whack it around against a tired Vic attack tomorrow

 

[candyapple]

Wyllie bowled for 94 not offering a shot

 

[Westend]

Great batting by Bancroft to put his name up in front of the selectors again ...unlucky for Wyllie good 90 odd

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Bazball is so last season - Camball is where it is at

There's elegance in defence, but Bancroft can definitely be hard to watch.

Anyway He's been giving the Vics nightmares for a few seasons now. Like Harris, he continues to put his name up there.

Wyllie bowled for 94 not offering a shot

He had a few near misses not offering a shot throughout the innings, was always on the cards.

 

[candyapple]

Bancroft out to what looks like a terrible decision

The WA commentators said it was plumb dude.

 

[largebus]

Looked a bit high on the side on. Maybe we can start actually scoring

 

[eth-dog]

Not sure about these tactics honestly. If we get on a roll and dismiss WA by tea, they would have spent 160-ish overs for maybe a 100 run lead.

Really?

I thought it was high, hitting outside the line but I guess there is a reason I'm not an umpire.

Might have been high but definitely hit in line

 

[Beutbrute]

Might have been high but definitely hit in line

It was missing Leg-stump AND off-stump... he was robbed!

 

[Beutbrute]

Hardie looks like he has taken another step forward since last season, looks very comfortable out there.
Australia has some really good all-rounder stocks at the moment - Green, Hardie, Sutherland, Edwards and the underrated Nesser. Edwards looks like having a breakout year similar to Sutherlands last season.

Calling me a casual LOL. I just found it boring. First session was a bore fest.
