It's not over yet. There's meant to be some more rain today I think but then after that should be alright. You guys would want to get us out by the end of today though.

A draw would be pretty unsatisfying, would rather win but I guess if we win from a draw I'll take it  :P. Shame the pitch is doing nothing.

We draw and we lose cause the Vics finished top? Sounds like bullshower to me and not just because I'm from WA...

I don't particularly like it either dude, but it's been that way for ageees. I'm not sure how else you could do it though, they already give an extra day from the normal season to try to get a result, which I also find a bit bizarre.

i like the 5th day in the final, especially on a pitch like this!!

Yeah seems a bit shower. Like the Vics could just go out there and bat for two and a half days to get a draw. There's no incentive for them to force a result = boring cricket imo.

Only way to get a result is the curator really.. They can prepare a result. or they can produce a road like they have been last few years. If you wanna win just gotta make sure you finish top which we didnt do.. So our own fault really. Shoulda rolled SA n that game where there tailed wagged big time.. mainly zampa!

I guess it helps get a result which is good, but I just find it a bit weird. I mean, you don't add a 5th qtr in the footy granny  :P. I guess a lot better chance of getting a result in that haha

It would be nice if there was a bit in this pitch for the bowlers though.

[PowerBug]

It's always been like that. There's a simple way to change it though. Timeless Test.

[henry]

Stoinis dropped... man you've got to take those.

[Nige]

We should pass the WA score at this rate, but honestly I wanted it to be more of a game than this.
