WA have taken out any chance of either side winning here. Terrible captaincy
Inglis getting runs helps us nationally though. There are positives.

There are no positives from this. We knew Inglis was in form. As soon as he had his 50 and Short was out it was the last possible moment of a victory for either side.Inglis getting runs helps us nationally though. There are positives.

I look forward to how people spin this as Victoria's fault though.
Victoria did bat on too you know...
You deal with the conditions at hand. As soon as Short went out that was the moment the trigger should have been pulledIt’s the curators fault. The pitch is too flat just like last game. It’s not Victoria’s fault and it’s not WA’s fault. I hate this notion where you “need” sporting declarations. They shouldn’t be needed.
Why is it both teams have batted 4 sessions but it's WA who have batted too long?

I don’t blame WA not declaring, as every point is valuable this early in the season, Victoria shouldn’t of declared when they did.Why is it both teams have batted 4 sessions but it's WA who have batted too long?
We'd have had 43 overs left at that point to bat if Marsh had declared. No chance were we getting 320 in that time.
Batting on guaranteed what was a probability.
Nope. They were no chance of getting enough runs ahead once that happened. If we managed to get a 340 run lead at stumps and declared it might have caused a result but the only chance of any result was declaring at that pointIt was giving WA it’s only chance of winning- rolling Victoria on the last day
WA will get more points than Victoria if it ends in a drawThey don't get any extra points you do realise?

As if WA are chasing 340 on the last day how is that even “sporting”. You are just wanting a declaration so that it’s easier to win- how does it benefit WA? Has to be mutually beneficial to declare.
Shield wickets have been heavily favoured towards pace bowlers for a fair portion of the last 5 seasons tbf (apart from this season). It was used as an excuse as to why we're not seeing any spin bowlers/ why the batsman can't bat for long periods.Vics should absolutely bat the game out, we shouldn't have to be having the conversation about sporting declarations from both teams to generate a result though. Need to go to 5 day matches and/or even up the state of the wickets to give teams more chance to bowl each other out.
Edit: Plus having all Australian cricket constantly played on roads means that when we go overseas anywhere where the pitch does anything off the surface that the batsmen have no clue how to play it as the bad habits they get away with on these roads get exposed
Like that day Steve Waugh set Victoria the very sporting target of 450 in a day and lost
