Turner probably lucky to hold his place in front of Darcy Short I reckon.

Be nice if Curtis got a few as well.

 

[Natho]

Good seeing Bangers back in the squad

 

[Moonwatcher]

A WA win will mean SA play in the final

 

[largebus]

We are NSW's bunnies so Konstas will probably return to form and Edwards another 5fa

 

[ioppolo]

From 0/43 to 5/99. Same old story.

 

[Bedi]

What am i looking at with this surface? Bowlers run up is like a green cratered moon

It's been like that all season really pissing me off WA cricket keeps producing green tops every bloody game .....it's not F**king durham in an English Summer FFS

Nice to see us pick up three late in the day...Lance is bowling quick good to see

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Saw the dismissal of Konstas. Seriously, it's back to the drawing board for him, his technique is shot right now. He needs to learn how to bat all over again.

 

[BGman]

his technique is shot right now. He needs to learn how to bat all over again.

Its his temperament that is shot and has been since his Test debut. He is trying to impose himself before he has mentally settled. I figured that he and his long time coach and mental mentor w'd have sorted this flaw by now.

 

[BGman]

Am finally hearing the real reason why Chris Tremain has missed the entire season, a rare neurological condition that affects his neck and shoulder. Jeez man what rotten luck and after having a classic 50 wicket season. But the intrepid Dubbo born quick has not given up on a return to the bowling crease after he was convinced his career was over. Good on you Tremmers.

More the bowler's run up i meant. Scuffed up like carpet in a junkie's house

 

[eth-dog]

Name your next Test attack.
Probables: Bartlett, Morris, Green, Bell, Rocchy. Possibles: Johnson, O'Neill, Haskett, Buckingham, Murphy. Bolters: Beardman, Anderson, MacMillan.

Rocc was seen as the 4th best spinner in the country a month ago dude. Murphy and Kuhnemann are 50/50.

 

[eth-dog]

I added that pair but seems only first draft is submitted. Roccy is my personal choice dude. Name your choices rather than be critical.

Bartlett the most likely. Kuhnemann and Murphy fighting for the spinners spot. Richardson the best when fit, then guys like O'Neill, Buckingham, Morris, Bell are fighting over the last spot. It's wide open

 

[Aussie_boy]

Gotta hand it to Gilkes, he gets a lot of starts. The fact he’s never hit a ton is getting to the impressive stage.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Its his temperament that is shot and has been since his Test debut. He is trying to impose himself before he has mentally settled. I figured that he and his long time coach and mental mentor w'd have sorted this flaw by now.

That shot wasn't temperament. That was just horrid defensive technique on how to play the bowl.

Mitchell Owen's dismissal was having a crap temperament.

I'll go cow corner slog at 6/130 chasing 500.

 

[eth-dog]

Delicately poised at tea. NSW would be hoping for 230-240 by the 100 over mark really. Still want WA to win, makes next game more straightforward if we manage to beat SA

 

[Freezin]

Bancroft certainly grinding down the NSW bowlers.....WA would need to up the run rate to build a lead, that would give them time to get NSW out....could be an interesting finish

 

[Moonwatcher]

WA would need to up the run rate to build a lead, that would give them time to get NSW out

Cartwright agrees.

 

[ioppolo]

Bancroft batted us out of a chance to win against SA earlier this season, he better not do it again.

 

[new breed]

WA trying to make sure of a draw , hoping the same for Victoria ( or loss ) to SA....bringing it all down to the last round of fixtures.
WA might declare tomorrow with a target of 320 in forty overs .

 

[ioppolo]

Good stuff Cartwright. Time to go the kitchen sink.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good stuff Cartwright. Time to go the kitchen sink.

I think 320 odd with 40 overs sounds about right. Would mean 180 in 50 overs tomorrow.

 

[Westend]

Well done lads good batting display today

just bat no need to risk it

 

[largebus]

Good fightback but the 1st innings deficit and Bancroft trying to bore NSW to death means we'll need a miracle to win this. Would've liked a bit more urgency from Bancroft but he doesn't really have that gear
