Shield The Final: Western Australia vs Victoria, WACA, 31st March to 4th April, 1 PM AEDT (Midday Day 5)

[corbies]

Hard for Victoria to get bonus points if WA rack up 1600 over 5 days.

 

[CakeEater]

Bancroft looks more in control of his game than ive seen from him in a long while, hopefully it continues today

 

[CakeEater]

Why play at that at tea Whiteman.

Leave it alone

 

[CakeEater]

Maybe no ball

 

[bird_man]

I think it’s very smart, see it as a 100 over bonus point shootout, know you’re 100 over target then puts the pressure on WA if we get ahead.

If that's what the call was based around then they were trying to be a bit smart for their own good.

 

[Crashy]

It was close

 

[BGman]

Come back Sam. That appeared a no ball wicket by Barrel.

No respect for Shield cricket not using a third ump or DRS. They check run outs why not a suspected no ball.

Is this being treated like a test where the ump can call no balls from the tape?

 

[corbies]

Well Andrew Symonds doesn't know the no ball law.

Where was Herschelle when you need him ?

 

[CakeEater]

Obviously not

 

[freo_leo29]

Onya Bangers!!

nice 100

 

[BGman]

Cricket selectors like 100s in finals

Bancroft had a big '20/21 with another solid season here. A Test recall perhaps on the cards. Prefer the steadier Sam Whiteman tho.

 

[CakeEater]

Tbh, i wouldnt so much mind Bangers and Whiteman opening in tests.

They know each others games

 

[CakeEater]

Bringing on Short over Holland is interesting

Henry Hunt should be next in line for a test cap IMO

To the shock of nobody

 

[CakeEater]

15 off the 1st over with the new ball is handy

 

[footyfan1978]

oh FFS, please , Bancroft still in.

 

[CakeEater]

Hes shown real 80 grit here

 

[Crashy]

What is the gameplan here, get to 100 overs then declare or back yourself to win outright, final still 5 days like usual?
