Nice to see highlights in sequence of play, very refreshing. Well batted Whiteman and great late positive knock by Connolly. If WA can reach 360+ that will be good score, although being 2-190 was a great platform that the middle order did not consolidate on. What has happened to Hardies batting since returning from playing short form for the national team? he has posted very few runs.

Tbf he copped an absolute ripper

[@gustaaf1892]

Would have liked to have seen a ball tracking replay of Whiteman's LBW decision. At first glance I thought it might have struck him outside of off stump.

[@Maxindifference]

Why can't the Cricket mob make this a sell out final? It's the greatest first class form of cricket outside of Tests, yet they can't promote it. Trajedy for the sport.

It's a weekday and many people are working.

No one follows shield cricket anymore.

[@BillBarr4President]

Good day for WA. Put into bat and they are 8-323. They would take that every day of the week.

[@RegionalVariation]

Great highlights. Not remotely interested in the IPL. This is far superior.

Did anyone actually ask you what you are interested in? Asking for a friend...

[@milododd]

I reckon a 4th slip would have taken about 5 catches in that innings

[@pillwolak]

Seriously. What was Silk thinking putting WA into bat?!

Love cricket at the WACA!

I did until they totally wrecked the ground, the upgrade looks terrible sad to say.

Sam Whiteman would be a better opening batsman option in the Australian team than Steve Smith.

[@OUTFIT_49]

Oliver Davies is batter than him

[@ByronWright-vu1rx]

Steve smith just needs some time off. Not dropped, just like maybe don’t select him for the t20 World Cup
