Out of curiosity, did any of you WA supporters expect VICs to go for the win? IMO you should have gotten the runs a tad slower, set a target of 250-300, and tempt us to go for the legit win and potentially lose wickets doing so.

i think if we dec on last nights score, then vics may have or should have had a crack. but honestly i think they knew 9 overs was not going to be the be all and didnt want to set too easy a target

Do not forget Vics were 6 overs short for the day. IMO if they had bowled the full overs for the day and WA declared overnight woul;d have set up a good final day. And this from an independent observer.

Yeah, I find that bordering on unsportsmanlike behavior. They get penalised during the year for slow over rates, but nothing in the final
