Yep, brilliant effort by Cam Green. I agree, he'll be playing for Australia before long I reckon.

Fair effort by Kelly and Richardson with the bat as well. But is it enough to hold on???

Well doesn't that beat all...they hung on for a draw thanks to Green.

"The match finishes in a draw after a defiant 121* from Cameron Green. Western Australia recovered from 7-53 to bat for 100 overs and secure a drawn result. Gannon was the best of the bowlers for Queensland, finishing with 4-39. Green earns himself the Player of the Match award for failing to be dismissed in both innings with scores of 87* and 121*".

Thanks to Cam Green and the tail we hang on for a draw.
A fine double with the bat by the young all rounder- 87* & 121* and a wicket with the ball.

Gannon & Street from QLD look alright as well.

And the only (alleged) all rounder that the selectors and captain don't see fit to bat in the top 7.

The WA selectors are probably hailing Bancroft as a bowling all rounder now!

number 8 manages to eke out 208 undefeated runs to save a game
openers have barely managed to get to within 100 of that in three games
somehow clinging to second place

Bancroft and Whiteman's best opening partnership so far this season has been a pitiful 20 in the 2nd Innings in this game at the GABBA.
Time to give a proper young opening batsmen a go and give the makeshift the boot back to grade cricket to try and make some runs!

Outstanding by Cam Green and also to Kelly, Richardson and Moody who supported him to ensure a draw. Just like Agar and Paris saved our bacon against Tasmania. So when are the actual batsmen going to make a contribution? I will absolve Shaun Marsh who has scored 200 in the last game, 77 in the first innings of this match and got a shocker of a decision yesterday but as for the rest they have been patchy at best. Turner and Agar will be back for the next game so Whiteman and Cartwright will be the omitted players IMO. Also Jhye Richardson will be playing in an AUS XI match in Perth. The scary part is that WA will be playing a full strength NSW team at the SCG including the entire test attack (unless some of them are rested) along with Warner and Smith. Nowhere to hide with this one.

Mikey, as someone has said previously too many all rounders and not enough specialists.

Its almost like they are picking their shield side around trying to keep guys happy to play for WA in the big bash.

I cant see WA doing anything special in the shield this year
