Sheffield Shield Round 9: Vic v WA @ Traeger Park

[Demosthenes]

Especially now after being 3/50

Ouch

Especially now after being 3/50

It's 2/60

 

[Perty4]

It's 2/60

I was counting Voges inevitable wicket

 

[gcats070911]

These 2 are digging in and are going to be hard to get out

2nd new ball could be the key. If WA are still batting at stumps then we are looking at a difficult last day chase as any target above 100 will worry me with the way our batsmen are going atm, and our proven history to crumble under pressure/chance to wrap up finals berth with a game to spare.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

This is a terrific innings from Cartwright with WA's season on the line.

Nice to see him smash some boundaries off Stoinis' crap bowling too

 

[eth-dog]

If I were Adam Voges my strategy would be to go 4 an over for the 74 overs after tea; leaving Victoria 300-odd to chase in 60 overs.

 

[Bigelow]

Given that NSW pley WA in the final round, WA have to win here to be able to make the final.

Vics can still make it if they lose this and can beat Qld.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Goes Jimmy Patto. Tall ask for WA from here.

While its disappointing from a WA perspective how good is it to see Patto bowling well again?

Wasn't that long ago he was ahead of Hazlewood and Starc.

Getting interesting with Cummins taking wickets again as well.

It's a pity neither of them can solve the No.6/wicket-keeping problems.

Well Pattinson probably offers more with the bat at the moment than Mitch or Stoinis

Then again if we want a number 6 who can bat and can bowl 5 overs a match I'm not sure why Cartwright has fallen behind.

That program is starting to look a bit optimistic.

Geez, one of these commentators is really starting to give me the shits. All those LBW's looked out to me. This guy obviously thinks not but we get it mate. You sound like a sook.

Yeah, the talk about missing a 5th stump is just parochial stupidity.
Especially for someone watching live from side-on and then seeing the same video replays as us.

 

[Torz]

We need to somehow get a lead of 120 to have even a slight chance.

Cartwright's imo was a bit iffy. Looked like it was sliding down.
All the others looked plumb.

They were clearly all at least plausible. It's difficult to judge precisely because of the distortion caused by the camera alignment being quite a bit off the stump to stump line.

 

[Beutbrute]

8 LBW's to none so far

EDIT: Haven't watched any play, so I'm not commentating on whether they have been there or not. Just one of those anomalies that happen I guess

 

[Art Vandelay_]

8 LBW's to none so far

1. Dean was out for one First innings.

Well Starc and Patto combined could be considered a good 7/8 combo.

 

[Beutbrute]

1. Dean was out for one First innings.

You are correct, I missed that one

 

[eth-dog]

If Patto gets 1/2 more, you guys reckon he'll replace Starc?

 

[Beutbrute]

He's looking good is Patto, Behrendorff could also be in the running with his form and being a left hander

 

[ioppolo]

D'arcy Short needs to take charge tomorrow. Could actually come in handy him being at number 8.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

3/216 to 7/238 at stumps?

WA that.
