Nope, the job is to go on with it the next day. not just sacrifice a wicket.

No, that's what you think their job should be. Not what it is.

 

[Cleavy]

off for bad light. not using the floodlights for Shield these days?

EDIT: nevermind, we have the good light now

 

[eddiesmith]

Hopefully it’s dry in Melbourne tomorrow for a change?

Frustrating day, hopefully can get wickets early tomorrow and get into the tail.

As a WA fan.....you are already in the tail mate..... WTF is Whiteman doing?....him scoring runs only gives my fellow WA fans.....short term gain, for long term pain....that is the right saying isn't?

 

[Westend]

needed that good hundred whiteman saved your career

Another quality Victorian performance, but some ‘Victorian fans’ will be happy as they celebrate mediocrity.

Could have been more than 2 games clear on top with Tassie and QLD capitulating.

We've played alright this match imo with key players out. Been denied a chance to push for victory by bad weather yesterday.

 

[Cleavy]

need 195 from about 45 overs

The one time I put my faith in him, he reminds me of his duddery.

Do we know how many overs? Cricinfo says 37 overs total, so only 13 overs left?

Thanks, I think Cricinfo hasn’t accounted for the extra half hour added in the morning.

Need to ram this home and put this shit state in its place. Talentless sandgropers.

Cricinfo coverage is lagging behind CA anyway, so no point using them for Shield.

LOL

We've won 3 of the last 4 Shields.

You're a ****wit.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good innings for your first ton.

 

[eddiesmith]

Good win in the end, did it the hard way.

5-1.

3 wins clear of 4 states with 4 games to play.
Hard to see us missing the final, probably a win away from ensuring we host it.

No team with 50+ points in the new format has ever failed to host. So yeah, one win away really.
