WA struggling again.7/153.Turner the leading run scorer with 42.A couple of  20s. But not good so far.
It hasn't been a good season for the WA boys all round.
A changing of the guard.I have not heard much about many of the names I am seeing.
 

they have snared 3 late wickets 
but the batting line-up is in trouble
it's been another collapse for under 200 again
this season has seen an unravelling of the system
and in a big way too

Do they have someone preparing a wicket at the WACA or are they just mowing the grass shorter in an area and playing on that, seems every game there since Xmas all sides have struggled

You are right, but WA have struggled with the bat for most of the season.
4/114 last Ilooked.
PH, thanks for responding.
 

NSW 5 for 146, With SA losing first innings points every point we pick up in this game is important. SA have not locked in home final yet

WA have the Blues struggling a bit, 7/168,
Patterson 72NO.
WA either bowling well or NSW unable to score.78 overs bowled.
 

WA trail on the first inning by 65.
Now in front at 2/92.
Glad to see LAnce Morris get a nag of five.
I reckon that CA have stiflled him this summer.Have done it with a few.
Trying to protect them by not allowing them to bowl in matches and giving them a number of balls they can bowl in the nets.
Game time far out weighs the other garbabge. 

unfolded as a dreary negative game
run rates are going to ensure a draw 
unless of course WA collapse early tomorrow

With Queensland having leapfrogged three teams into second place after their crushing victory over Tasmania, a drawn game will effectively be a loss for WA and NSW, putting a serious dent in the prospects of either playing in the Shield final.
I expect WA will aim to declare at lunch with a lead of 250 (though they'll have to pull their finger out to achieve this) and have two sessions (60-65 overs, given 15 overs are required to be bowled in the last hour of play) to bowl NSW out.
Also, Victoria is still a chance of beating SA at the Junction Oval, making an outright win for either side at the WACA imperative.

A pity Bangers missed out on getting his ton.
Need the bowlers to stand up and tear though the batting.
