Cartwright close to LBW.

This is very tight bowling from the two Bs.

 

[Decentric]

Do we need ODIs ATM?

No Kuhnemann for Tas.

 

[Decentric]

Meredith bowling off his short 13 pace run.

No speed gun. He is bowling medium pace. Close call for snick behind off a short ball.

 

[Decentric]

Apparently Blues chasing 170 with 10 poles in hand.

 

[Decentric]

At Bellerive Goodwin 44 off 60 odd balls.

 

[Decentric]

Goodwin caught Doran b Hope.

Big Tas wicket!

 

[Decentric]

WA 3-75 chasing 258.

 

[Decentric]

Cartwright c Doran bowled Hope.

WA 4-76.

 

[Richie]

Both openers gone, Bell finally has his first season wicket

Blues need 254 runs to defeat Vic. Looks like another three day match.

The Greek Connection of Nikitaris and Konstas have 90 of those.

 

[Richie]

Konstas 50.

 

[Richie]

Tassie now in the box seat with WA still needing 177 with 4 top order bats back in the sheds.

Good!

DC that was Bells first wicket of the season. He sure has gone off the boil from past seasons.

Others saying same here, Baggers.

He has beaten bat.

Bird at age 38 doing well. His Tas born wife wanted to return to Apple Isle.

I know mate. She was home sick. No doubt Jackson wanted to return also to finish his career..

 

[Decentric]

I know mate. No doubt Jackson wanted to also.

Bird has a smooth action, with long run up.

Very durable.

Bird has a smooth action, with long run up.

Very durable.

Yep, he'd have had a decent Test career too, but was log jammed behind the Big 3.

 

[Decentric]

Blues 4-121 needing 134 to win.

Bit similar to Tas.

 

[Decentric]

Yep, he'd have had a decent Test career too, but was log jammed behind the Big 3.

We were just saying that. Scapegoat for flat Melbourne pitch.

Close outside edge from Bell - ball moving away. Bowling better than 1 wicket. A few of us had long convo with him at players’ night.

 

[Decentric]

Thought WA were gone, but nearly 50 Fanning/Hardie partnership has taken them to 4-128. WA need to make 258.
