WA crush Vics in Shield

Western Australia secured their first outright win of the Sheffield Shield, crushing Victoria by an innings and 38 runs before lunch on day four at the WACA Ground.

WA dominated the game from the moment stand-in Victorian skipper Rob Quiney won the toss and elected to bowl.

The Warriors went on to amass 8(dec)-581 in their first innings with Marcus North (145) and Shaun Marsh (127 not out) making centuries before the Bushrangers made a disastrous start to the run chase late on the second day.

Victoria fell to 4-25 and were bowled out for 198 with only 85 from David Hussey providing any real resistance.

WA enforced the follow-on midway through the third day and even though Victoria showed more fight, they were still 5-272 by stumps heading into the final day.

Cameron White brought up his century late on the third day, but he was first man out on Monday when he attempted a lap shot from the off-spin bowling of North.

That ended White’s knock on 131 that came from just 155 deliveries and included 17 boundaries and a six.

From 6-310 Dan Christian and John Hastings stuck around for 31 runs for the seventh wicket until Christian fell to the second new ball when he was caught behind off Sam Whiteman for a fighting 40.

That started a procession that saw the match end quickly with Clint McKay surviving just two balls before also out caught behind off Whiteman off Coulter-Nile for a duck.

Jake Haberfield added just one with Hastings last man out lbw to seemed a dubious decision for 19 – Victoria all out for 345 losing their last four wickets four runs.

Coulter-Nile took 4-53 for the Warriors to go with his 4-57 in the first innings while man of the match North claimed 2-38 to go with his 145 with the bat.
