Probably happy not playing red ball cricket but getting to live in Perth rather than Hobart.One of lifes great mysteries how Short didn't move to Tassie like 3 or 4 years ago to play red ball cricket.
Heads need to roll, surely?
We’ve had more than enough talent to win multiple Shields over the past 22 years. Enough is enough.
Dont forget the boss/ceo Matthews who has no interest in winning Sheffield Shield titles more interested in promoting & pushing womens & silly T20 cricket!
We have achieved nothing under her reign who also hired Voges & co.
Now how on earth a WA squad containing the following can finish no higher than 3rd or 4th each season is an absolute indictment on all involved down at the WACA-
M.Marsh
S.Marsh
C.Bancroft
J.Phillipe
A.Turner
D.Short
H.Cartwright
C.Green
M.Stoinis
A.Agar
J.Richardson
J.Behrendorff
A.Tye
J.Paris
(all have represented Australia in one form or another) plus other good state cricketers in-
S.Whiteman
J.Carder
J.Inglis
M.Kelly
S.Gannon
L.Morris
L.Guthrie
A.Hardie
D.Moody
If you can only coach/manage that squad into 3rd or 4th position I suggest you look for an alternative job!
I don't disagree with you, but exactly how often did we have our best team available. We get absolutely pillaged by the national team precisely because of the quality of our players. We should be doing better but it could be argued that the team we put on the park most often (with guys like Hardie, Morris, Carder making up the numbers) is probably a 3rd or 4th placed team.Dont forget the boss/ceo Matthews who has no interest in winning Sheffield Shield titles more interested in promoting & pushing womens & silly T20 cricket!

Its so bloody depressing, I wonder if the players are hurting. Losing to Tassie at home (convincingly), Beau Webster getting runs (again!)
Another wasted year. Heads MUST Roll
During Christina's reign WA has finished the Shield season 2nd twice and 3rd three times. WA has also won the ODD competition 3 times and are on the verge of playing off in a final for their 4th. The Scorcher's success is well publicised. Hardly doom and gloom.
Agree; the missing piece is a Shield win but that is the one that hurts the most.During Christina's reign WA has finished the Shield season 2nd twice and 3rd three times.

Phillipe over ShortIt'll be interesting to see what happens with you guys first up. Only Stoinis is over at the IPL which means you have pretty much your full squad available, if they're all fit. So, as far as an XI is concerned:
Bancroft
Whiteman
S Marsh
Green
M Marsh
Short?
Inglis (+)
Agar
3x Paris/Kelly/Richardson/Gannon/Hardie
For at least one game looks pretty strong.
I thought Inglis got picked for the ipl?
Good start by Mitch and Phillippe
Green at 8 ???
