Shield Western Australia vs Tasmania, WACA, April 3-7, 1 PM AEDT

[darksquare]

WA got off to a good start, but I reckon once they realised they couldn't get an outright win, they pretty much turned their toes up which was disappointing.
We really missed Jhye Richardson as our attack was pretty much impotent after losing Paris.

It's no great disrespect to the bowlers to note they're a B-team. Richardson, Paris, Behrendorff, Coulter-Nile could win WA a shield, but for various reasons we had none of them after Paris's 11th over.

480 in a day?
No chance.

Reckon we'll throw in the towel and be out by tea.

For sure. But I hope we bat at the required run rate until the last recognised batsman is out. Keep the flame alive, if only for a couple of hours.

All over. See you all next year.
Looking fwd to talking about the best batting / bowling lineup that consistently produces inconsistent results year after year

336 off 57 overs (102 over innings). Hard to see it happening.

Now we just need the last three wickets to hang on for an unbeaten season. And if Joel Paris gets another hundred, he'll have a higher career batting average than Mitch Marsh...

Don't know where you get the idea we've got a good bowling line up TBH.

I'm a bit devo to see how well the Tigers played the last part of the season to ultimately achieve nothing. That early season period without Wade and Paine really buggered us.

We also missed McDermott for large parts of the season.

Paine missed 1 game for the entire season.

I saw Rainbird do something in this match that I don't see too often these days (admittedly from the limited amount of cricket I watch).

He actually swung the ball.
