Sheffield Shield Final

[Donny]

Bandy third ball duck. Boland gets the edge.

1/2.

[Donny]

Not sure the comms completely understand the draw/bonus points situation.

On the 2 first innings, WA is ahead but that only applies to a draw.

Although 80 runs behind on the first innings, Victoria can still take the Shield with a win.

[Donny]

Marsh OUT. First ball from Short.

Edged to Handscomb at slip.

[Pies4shaw]

Fantastic, sharp spin. Stupid question - why can't Swepson turn the ball like that?

[Donny]

Yep re. Sweppo. Match winner at Shield level but looks ordinary in the Tests.

Just doesn't seem to have much variety. eg. No wrong un.

[Donny]

3/68. Cartwright out for 12. Boland 2/10.

[Donny]

Stumps: WA leads by 171 runs with 7 wickets left.

[Donny]

Huge session coming up for the Vics.

If they can take early wickets, it could get very interesting.

Maybe a target of 300 odd and 4 + sessions to get them.

[Skids]

Yes, it's set up nicely.



No wind, cloudy and very humid here this morning. Should be a very interesting first session. Shower or two is the forecast, they've been saying that for the last 10 days, we've had about 1mm.

[Donny]

5/134. WA 214 ahead.

Whiteman 67*.

[Donny]

Whiteman and Hardie have used up 250 balls.

Happy to just chug along. Leading by 215.

C'morrrrrrrrrrrnnnn Vics. Wickets please.

[Donny]

Whiteman heading for PotM. He's 97* to add to his first innings dig of 85.

Century for Whiteman, 50 for Hardie... WA cruising.
