Semi Final 2: WA Swans vs ACT Cockatoos

WA Swans Maddinson: 4 Ludeman: 22 Dunk: M.Marsh (C): 10 M.Marsh (C): Pattinson: 72 Starc: DNP Emergencies Hemphrey: DNP Labuschagne: DNP

vs

ACT Cockatoos Voges (C): 50 Voges (C): Smith: 192 Paine: Hopes: 5 Tye: 161 Tye: Holland: 86 Emergencies Fekete: Doherty:

If you told me at the start of the tournament that WA would be in the semis, I would've agreed because I predicted. If you told me that their three scores would be the three highest scores in the competition, and they would finish 3-0 with a % of 279.98, I would've laughed. But that is what has happened. There have been 6 scores over 600 this tournament across all teams. NT has 2, ACT has one (All under 650), and WA has the other three with their lowest score being 781. Mitch Marsh takes the captaincy in his DGW, expect a big score from him against the CXI. The job is not done yet though. ACT based on total points are only 3 points off WA, and they've had the most players play of all teams, selection has been letting them down. A brave decision to captain Adam Voges, who so far has scored 9, 22 and 37 in his three matches (D6s scores that is).


Previous rounds scores:
WA: 862, 1042, 781
ACT: 639, 485, 566

I think there are two teams capable of beating WA, ACT is one of them. The WA side is strong, but lacking depth. If a couple of the big boys have off days, they will score very very poorly. For ACT to win though, you feel that that 6 guys named have to be their top 6 scorers for the team, if that happens, I say they will win. Will that happen? Poor selection so far leads me to think it won't happen. WA to win and meet NT in the final

Before the game today:

WA vs ACT
108 to 494
All but done here, ACT have caused the upset. Andrew Tye the ripper selection here.


NT vs QLD
277 to 216
This, is not over!

The NT vs QLD match is actually super close. Dorff not playing, Paris bowled well....

I am working it out now but I NT is played out and QLD have Faulkner and Whiteman that can still do things to get points.
