TOPIC:

WA would have been nervy after 12 overs on a belter of a wicket but SA dropped too many catches and it cost a record amount of runs
Inglis was brutal and Marsh the same

I was lucky to be there today and I could not believe the brutality of the WA batting and the utter futility of the SA field settings. It went real quiet out there real quick.

Total mismatch really. 9 of that WA team have played for Australia at some level, none for SA. Of the two that haven't represented Australia, Hardie will certainly do so at some stage. D'arcy Short was very unlucky to miss out, TBH I would have had him in instead of Stoinis.

Having said that the Croweaters had a chance to limit WAs score to something manageable but their fielding was abysmal. 

WA had a perfect season 8 wins no losses. They are so far in front in limited overs cricket it isnt funny. Now for the Shield and the triple crown.

Wes Agar's played for Australia and he bowled really well until getting smashed late and Spencer Johnson is a big chance to be playing for Australia at some stage. He bowled beautifully, The rest just had no answers at all. 

Good pick up Dazzler. Agar played 2 ODis in the West Indies in 2021 and acquitted himself quite well with 11 overs for 39 runs and also scored a 40 with the bat. 
Probably deserved a few more opportunities. At least his brother didn't get him out today!

Great win but the commentators reckon a full-strength NSW would walk over the WA side at all three levels, 

Why is it that WA is still NOT recognised for its achievements by anyone outside of WA, even Brendan Julian failed to come to their support during the discussion, sad really!

The problem with that of course is that the concept of a "full strength" NSW team is entirely theoretical as the test players are never released to play in Sheffield Shield or Marsh Cup games like they used to be in yesteryear. 
I'm just sick of these ex NSW players blowing it out their asses  about how good their state is when their current team has finished stone cold last in both red ball and one day competitions. Julien lives in Sydney now I believe so he has probably gone over to the dark side as well.

Well said and absolutely spot on. Last in both comps but apparently wouldn't raise a sweat knocking off WA according to the suckholes on Fox. 

Australia A squad for a NZ tour has only 3 WA players named and no sight of Lance Morris - not one NSW player in

Looks like Shaun Marsh has hung them up - possibly effective immediately
