Sheffield Shield Round 9: Tasmania v Western Australia @ Blundstone Arena

[StingBitten]

Thank God.

Hopefully an opportunity for a late wicket hasn't gone begging.

 

[eth-dog]

How many overs left?

 

[StingBitten]

How many overs left?

Don't know but 40 mins of play at least

 

[wolmeister]

I honestly don't understand the 4 quicks if M Marsh and Cartwright in the side, especially ones as average as Guthrie and Moody. Play O'Connor!

Not sure about O'Connor on Blundstone as it doesn't really have a history of being conducive to spin. It'd probably be different if he could bat. Agree on Moody but I think you're being a bit harsh on Guthrie. Only 21 and only played 5 first class games. He can lose it a little at times but I think he has some talent to work with.

 

[Ishikawa]

Moody is underrated as a shield bowler. A very intriguing final day has been set up, would love to get the job done here.

Both openers removed early

Wakim out
3-102

Moody's a spud. Doesn't take wickets, rarely keeps the runs down, and bowls low 130's without swinging it

 

[kane249]

Willis gone, 4-136

 

[Ducky Tie]

Been a slow return in his first couple of games back but Paris getting into a nice groove now. 5 for 70 odd so far this match.

As wild as Guthrie can be at times, at least he manages to pull out the odd jaffa. Both would be a fair way back in the queue with everyone available.

Which begs the question about not playing a spinner (other than Short). Is Agar fit for the last game?

 

[Ducky Tie]

Looks like Tassie are going to have a crack. If Wade and McDermott stick around it could be entertaining.

252 in 41 overs is difficult with only 6 wickets in hand.

Yeah actually winning would be well beyond reach you'd think but if they could get to within 100 it would be a good effort.

I guess they could try to get within 60 off 6 with wickets in hand they're a chance

 

[kane249]

190 runs needed in the last session
6 wickets in hand

Wade and McDermott the set batsmen who can both score quick, not impossible

 

[eth-dog]

Hard for WA to win from here actually. 6 wickets in 32 overs with two "in" batsmen.

 

[ioppolo]

Well, we botched it. Watch Tassie chase it down

 

[grimlock]

If these 2 teams could conspire to somehow draw this game, that would be great.

[Ducky Tie]

This is some innings by Wade.

 

[Gak Attack]

Wow they're actually a sniff of this. If Wade gets them home unbeaten it's a big message to selectors

 

[grimlock]

Wade out!
Bird in?!

 

[Gak Attack]

Wade out!
Bird in?!

Well I bloody jinxed that!

 

[The Speaker]

Whiteman still can’t covert scores into 100s. That was frustrating even before his injury.

Best to have him opening then, I reckon.
