WA win toss and bowling on yet another WACA greentop.

Lance Morris still not ready to resume bowling for the Warriors.

The WA v Qld match starting a day behind the other two. Wonder why.

Green returns to the bowling crease and will be limited to 20 overs for the match as he is expected to be managed after his back surgery. So dont expect him to bowl any more than this in the Tests. Now he is back bowling bat him at #4 or even lower.
We’ve just asked why the Perth game was delayed too?

Hail stopped play. Webster has cut a swathe through Croweaters with 4 poles!

He might be out of form with bat, but not ball.

Carey has batted well.

Tas on top with SA 8-168.
 
There was a promising left arm pace bowler, Hasket ?, who bowled well for WA at Ninja in the last game played here.

Surprised WA opened with Green?
 
Surely Webster goes into Test team at 6 or 7?

Any of the ageing strike bowlers break down, Webster can replace them - and - bowl plenty of overs to minimize their workload!

SA all out for 177. Tas lead by 32 after first innings.

Carey made an impressive 50. ATM Carey looks like batting 6 in Tests. He has kept well too.

Apparently, Doggett bowled well with new ball.
 
Ryan Hicks could well be the best emerging keeper/batsman in the nation. Whereas most k/bs bat at #7 Hicks bats in the top six. Last week I watched him bat a #5 and he scored 50 , he scored a century too recently in Premier. Today he is inexplicably opening. For mine that is putting too much pressure on the kid when he is used to batting down the order. Blues selectors continue to confuse me...
How old is Hicks, Baggers?
 
Jewell on drives for 4. Two very cavalier opening batters for Tas.
I suggest they play that way. Neither are blockers. If Weatherald is picked first Test it will be because they will want him to play the cavalier role to take on their opening attack.
