Gee with that impressive double with the bat SOS must be a certainty for Test selection vs India!

SA 2 for 74 at lunch chasing 383 (or was that 3083) to win. WA declared at 2 for 215 earlier.

SA now 6 for 159 with 27 overs to go.

A good start to the 20/21 season with an outright win against the SACAs at Rolton Oval.
Hopefully we can continue that momentum against Australia A (aka NSW) starting this coming Monday morning.

well bowlled, in particular. Can someone, bh, put up a link on how the bonus points are decided, please? I agree with bringing back bonus points, but they need to have a clear footnote at the bottom of the bloody table.

AR I got this from the Sheffield Shield playing conditions manual on the CA website. The interesting thing to me is that there are no "first innings points" any more. So unless a game is tied or abandoned only bonus points are awarded in the case of a draw.


16.9.1 Match Points earned by a team:
16.9.1.1 Outright win: 6 Points
16.9.1.2 Tie where both teams have completed two innings:
3 Points Each
16.9.1.3 Loss: 0 Points
16.9.1.4 Abandoned (other than via 16.11.1.5 below) or drawn
matches (irrespective of how many innings have been
completed): 1 Point Each
16.9.1.5 Abandoned or rescheduled/relocated matches due to
inadequate pitch and/or ground preparation:
See clause 6.4
49
16.9.2 Bonus Points
16.9.2.1 The following Bonus Points shall apply in addition to
any Match Points.
16.9.2.2 Bonus Points will be calculated only using the statistics
from the first 100 overs of each side’s first innings in the
match.
16.9.3 Batting Bonus Points:
A batting side shall receive 0.01 bonus points for every run they
score over 200 runs in its innings.
16.9.4 Bowling Bonus Points:
A fielding side shall receive 0.1 points for each wicket taken in its
bowling innings capped at a total of 1.0.
NOTE:
- Bonus Points are received by a side irrespective of the match
result.
- Bonus Batting Points are unlimited and apply to all runs scored
in excess of 200 within the first 100 overs of the first innings.
For example, if a team scores 201 they will receive 0.01 Batting
Bonus Points.
- The maximum Bowling Bonus Points available is 1.0 within the
first 100 overs of the first innings.

I was looking at some highlights from the last day of the WA game and the umpire at the far end was doing his level best to help the Croweaters escape with a draw! I counted about half a dozen appeals for LBW from various bowlers which were all turned down and all of them looked pretty adjacent to me.

Haha yes I agree Mike, although according to the SA commentary they were all either going over, missing leg or missing off lol.
I suppose the WA boys are just as biased when calling our games on 91.3.
