[Donny]

At stumps, The Warriors are in a strong position.

[HAL]

Tell me more about them. . . . .

[Donny]

North made 90 and Denton took 4/94 as WA totalled 437.

Tassie's 'keeper, Sean Clingeleffer, took 7 catches for the innings.

At stumps, The Tigers are 6/216. Mason made 52 and Thorpe has 3/39. Williams was expensive, taking 2/75 from 16 overs.

[HAL]

Oh. . . . really? Im glad your having such a fun time.

[couragous cloke]

Geez, is that a record or something, the best ive seen is six in international tests,its gotta be a record.

[Donny]

Close, mate.

Wally Grout (8 catches) in '59/60 and Darren Berry (7 & a stumping) in '96/97 hold the record in Australia. Tim Zohrer also has 8 (6 & 2 stumpings) but that was done in England on the '93 Ashes tour.

Clingy has a chance at the record for an Australian 'keeper for a match. He needs 6 in the second innings or 5 to equal Don Tallon's 12 (9 & 3 stumpings) and Brian Taber's 12 (9 & 3).

The world record is held by W James of Matableland with 13 (11 & 2) performed in '95/96.

[Donny]

Clingy is also having a good game with the bat.

He and Damien Wright (65) hit a century (116) partnership to take Tassie past the follow on figure.

Clingeleffer is 53 n.o. and The Tigers are 7/295. Williams has 3/93.

[Donny]

8/304 at lunch with Clingleffer still there, on 63. Williams has 4/99.

[HAL]

Where did Williams get that? ?

[Donny]

8/338 and 90 behind. Clingy and Downton are batting well and first innings points to Tassie is becoming more of a possibility with each over.

Clingleffer is 75 n.o. and Downton , 34 n.o. They have added 52.

[Donny]

They got to 380.

Clingeleffer scored an excellent 79 and Downton, 45.

The Warriors start their second innings 57 runs ahead. With 140 overs left in the match, the 6 points are still up for grabs.

Clingeleffer will be looking for some good offside bowling to give him the 5 or 6 thin edges he wants for the 'keeping record.

[Donny]

After 20 overs, The Warriors are 0/93.

Hussey is cruising on 60 from 64 balls and Rogers is supporting, on 33.

[Donny]

1/162 with Rogers on 82 n.o. and Goodwin, 21 n.o.

They lead by 223 with 106 overs left in the game.

[Donny]

Rogers has scored a quick century.

He's 100 n.o. and W.A. is 1/206 after 41 overs. Goodwin is 41 n.o.

[Donny]

At stumps, The Warriors have batted themselves into a winning position although, from afar, it's hard to know if the wicket is benign or Hussey, Rogers and Goodwin just batted brilliantly.

1/231 @ over 5 r.p.o. has them 288 ahead with a day to go.

Rogers is 116 n.o. and Goodwin, 50 n.o.
