Redhacks v. WA Pura Cup

[Redandblack00]

Well done Paul Rofe, you're the next G.McGrath

[scott]

WA 5-93 at stumps.

Rofe 12-7-12-3

[TigerBoss]

WA 6/103 now...Rofe has 4, Dizzy 1 and Danny-Bhoy 1.

Campbell on 29 so doing well, but Casson down the other end with the rest of the tail to follow.

We SHOULD skittle them...and put them back in.

[TigerBoss]

Casson and Campbell have fought hard and forged a 126* partnership to push the Warriors at 6/222. Campbell notched up his ton off just 107 balls, and is now up to 113*. Casson at one stage had 4 from 50 balls, but has done well, pushing his score up to 30*.

It's Lunch on Day 3.

Redbacks get Campbell, then the tail won't wag...

[godoubleblues]

WA 8-259, Campbell out for 122
Dan Cullen has the last 2

[TigerBoss]

1st Innings...WA all out 281. SA lead by 271.

Rofe 6 wickets.

Cullen 3.

Dizzy 1.

WA bat again, let's hope our bowlers can maintain the pressure...

I can see WA batting this one through to a draw, but hopefully Dizzy rips into them in the 2nd innings.

[sturtpeter]

Why wasn't the follow on enforced?

I would have thought 270 was a healthy enough lead on a pitch bound to crack tomorrow and later today.

[spell_check]

Sounds like a draw coming up.

[TigerBoss]

I think we're going to try and get a quickfire 150-200 to put the game beyond reach...then have a crack at them in the final session tonight and all day tomorrow.

I don't think we can bowl them out again...just quietly, but I hope like buggery we can snatch an outright here...WA have already lost 2 games outright this year...hence their ability to close out games isn't tremendous...perhaps they'll drop their heads and give us the game on a platter...

[JK]

We've got the best yet-to-represent-his-country spinner going around at the moment, giving him a 4th day pitch to bowl on just increases Boofs bowling options, a good decision imho ... If the Gropers are good enough to chase a ridiculous amount over the 4th day (and a bit) then good luck to them!!

[scott]

South Australia declared at 2-129 - a lead overall of 400. Greg Blewett scored an unconquored 61, while Cossie added 40.

In reply, Western Australia are in trouble at 2-16.

Last 5 overs: . . . 1 . . | . . . . . . | . . . . . . | . . . . . 1 | . . . . . . |

WA 2-17 from 14 overs. Going to be a nice decreaser for the bowler's econ rates if they continue like this.

[scott]

[bayman]

they're home & hosed, i suggest all over before tea my tip 3.06pm anyone else going to guess when it will finish or do you think will wa survive for a draw ?

[spell_check]

It's past 3.06pm bayman, but we've just about got it:

W.A 9/266 - Williams 18 and Inness 4

Gillespie 21 overs, 10 maidens, 3/31
Cullen 4/91
Rofe 1/82
Bailey 1/46

[spell_check]

All over, we win by 129 runs!

Cullen 5 wickets.

[bayman]

sp, what time did the game finish ? some of us have to work & only get the odd score during the test broadcast !!!!!! just curious to see how close or far away i was

[bayman]

ps, i was at least right that they were home & hosed

[spell_check]

I don't know what the time posted says on your computer, but mine says 1 hour earlier (normal time, not daylight savings). So, it was between about 4.49 and 4.53pm.

[TigerBoss]

Sensational team performance to get maximum points here.

Rofe, Cullen and Dizzy bowled superbly, and Boof and Cozzie (can) batted brilliantly...

When Elliott comes back, drop Deitz and leave Cozzie at the top of the order.

Ferguson is on the knife's edge too...he's having a shocking dose of 2nd year blues...

I'm ecstatic Rofe is starting to show others what I've seen in him since Day 1.

For mine, and it's a big call, he's the next Glenn McGrath.
