TAS v WA

[Zeke]

Is anyone else following the scores???

Tassie need 18 runs off the last 18 balls - a brilliant captains knock to Dan Marsh has almost got the visitors home...

Carn' the Tigers!

 

[Zeke]

Crap. Wright holes out to deep fine leg and the scenario is now 15 runs required from 13 balls with just 3 wickets in hand.

 

[Zeke]

6 runs off 6 balls with 3 wickets in hand.

What a match!

 

[pazza]

Come on Tassie..6 runs off the last 5 balls!

 

[Zeke]

6 off 3... Tough job now.

 

[Zeke]

Downton hits a 4!

2 off 2 to win it!

 

[Zeke]

The scenario.

1 run required off the last ball, skipper Dan MArsh at the crease, having already scored a century has the opportunity to win the match off the last ball...

 

[pazza]

A TIE!!!!

Stiff Tassie..very stiff.

 

[Zeke]

The game ends in a tie!

A bt of an anti-climax, but probably the most appropriate result, as both teams deserved a win.

Thats 2 games Tassie has won (or as good as) because of declarations. Fortunate but good on them I say. Any team that chases over 350 successfully on a 4th day deserves to win. Maybe teams should start sending Tassie in when they win the toss

Well bowled Brad Williams, he got Western Australia back in the match. My only dissapointment was he only bowled 11 overs in the 2nd inns, if he bowled 20-25 overs, i think WA would have won.

Agree, Although I thought Bracken had to play in Brisbane, we missed the aggression that Williams would certainly have served up, not to mention a bit of chin music.

I think that Williams' Pura cup match was average. He went for a lot of runs and pick up consolation tail end wickets when Tassie was slogging at the end of the first innings.

Whilst I don't think he deserved to miss the first test, I don't see that his domestic form warrants him being rushed into the first eleven.

Guys, Tassie weren't all out - it's a draw, not a tie.

Bad thing too. The three wickets in hand mean they miss out on three points!

After what happened on the first 3 days, I would say its WA that missed out on 3 pts, Tasmania gained 3 pts it had no right to up until the last 2 sessions on Day 4

Are you sure ?????

I would have thought the point allocation would have been

Tas 3 pts WA 2 pts.

So are you saying because WA didnt bowl Tassie out, Tassie get 0 pts instead of the 3 pts they would have got had WA bowled them out ????

If that is case its a joke and Tassie got screwed big time

That's exactly what I'm saying.

He went for a lot of runs and pick up consolation tail end wickets when Tassie was slogging at the end of the first innings.

Mate he picked up 2 top order wickets in each dig on a wicket that was a freeway.

Get him into Adelaide and get him angry!!!
