Shield Western Australia vs South Australia, WACA, 28-31 Oct

[Aussie_boy]

Snails pace. SA happy with a draw at this stage.

Our top 3 are always like this. Lehmann, Scott and Sangha are the ones who generally get the run rate up.

 

[Westend]

Piss poor by wa today

 

[Aussie_boy]

Most fluid McSweeney has looked in year.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

McSweeney goes to 100 with a 6 off Connolly!

WA didnt bat any quicker

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Welcome return to form by McSweeney. I was hoping he'd go on with it after reaching the 100, but it's a good start.

 

[Nathan Barley]

303 to win

Should be a good finish. Might be some rain later in the afternoon

 

[Spirit Level]

To head down to the WACA or not

Would like to see us risk losing and go for it but it seems like Green wants to bat time to get his eye in ahead of the Ashes

Yeah its frustrating seeing these two having a net ...

doesn't help with the SA lads bowling bouncers every 2nd ball

I get why theyre doing it but you'd think after what happened 2 days ago theyd be a bit more judicious with them

Can't blame them Westy.
SA pretty much batted us out of the game.

I just want to see the lads have a crack

Greenie has the 2nd fastest ODI ton for australia of all time and Connolly coming off a 50 odd against india

have a go sometimes you need to risk losing to actually win

 

[Westend]

Manetti bowling darts and Connolly and greenie just patting them back

come on lads you are better than that

 

[Westend]

and there you go

fired by the ump...no way he hit that

Don't think we've scored 300 this year.

We were never getting it in just over 2 sessions.
I'd rather the boys get some quality time in the middle TBH.

Ffs cam

We did get 300 last innings but it was the first time in a while

The mindset of the whole team is all negative

Clarko on sport fm was going on about and he is 100% correct

when you have two int just patting back Manetti ...there is a major issue

greenie looked good but showed no intent all innings..and guess what you will cop a bad one from the ump

Gone are the days when teams would change the order past WA teams would show courage and have go

why not change the order throw young Curtis up the top and have a go...bat green 3 Connolly 4 hardie 5?? if you lose early wickets so what they still have to take 10 wickets in 2 sessions!!...you can close up shop....

We have treated this 2nd innings as a net

 

[Tugga27]

and there you go

fired by the ump...no way he hit that

Keeper didn't even appeal.

We've struggled with the bat all year.

I'm not blaming them for trying to avoid another loss.

 

[Westend]

Keeper didn't even appeal.

yeah it was greenie reaction when he lifted his head..that then ump then gave him out

he got nowhere near it

 

[Westend]

Tuggs when you try to avoid another loss....7/10 times you will lose

thats the ISSUE ...they are not looking to win..its comes from the top Vogesy needs to be more proactive

the talent is there ..heaps of it its being wasted atm

 

[Cleavy]

surprised that McSweeney hasn't rolled the arm over this innings

 

[Westend]

bang well done Cooper

good to see

I rate his bowling, he should bowl more imo. Quality part timers that are just as threatening as Manenti.
