This is just dissapointing. The Sheffield Shield final used to be a big event with proper attendance. Now it gets little to no advertising and no one seems to care. And the worst bit is our Test selectors are so gutless players like Bancroft and Beau Webster don’t look like getting a go in the test team despite their shield performances.

There was a decent crowd there but footy season's on

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

Can the lot of you shut up about Bancroft already? Geez, he doesn't need fangirls to defend him

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

​@@cowaylon1681 Good point, it's footy season

[@dielaughing73]

​@@cowaylon1681 best crowd the WACA has seen since last year's final at least. But the rest of the season has had very poor attendance. Even the Marsh Cup final in Sydney had a very small crowd. I just hope they keep playing for those of us who are interested. It's absolutely world class cricket and we're lucky to have it in our backyard.

@@cowaylon1681 decent but like for a final

[@donna25871]

I’m looking forward to WA winning another Sheffield Shield tomorrow.

[@dielaughing73]

Or Monday..

[@LachiePattersonCricket]

They have done the double.

[@haydencooper_]

Triple

[@LachiePattersonCricket]

@@haydencooper_ it’s a 3 peat for Western Australia I was referring to Western Australia winning both the Sheffield Shield and the Marsh Cup in the same season.

[@haydencooper_]

@@LachiePattersonCricket oh right 😄👌🏼

[@LachiePattersonCricket]

@@haydencooper_ all good mate.

[@worker-wf2em]

I was only able to listen to the commentary but gee whiz judging by the (eastern states) commentators this game must be right in the balance given how well Tasmania are apparently playing

[@user-bl8he6tb5k]

Awesome cricket

[@DavidEllery-pd9ow]

Tasmania just to defensive in the 1st innings, they are bowling too short in second, a trap for many interstate teams on the fast bouncy WACA wicket, hence WA players are always good square of the wicket at all levels.

[@levenscott645]

If these are the two best Shield teams, I worry about the future of Australian Test cricket.

[@haydencooper_]

Well some of WA's best players are playing in the IPL right now.

[@dielaughing73]

That 4 of Cartwright's at 7:05 was on the boundary so quickly it was almost hard to believe.
It was a great day to be at the WACA and the biggest crowd I've seen there in a long while. We were also treated to the spectacle of the tower crane being erected on the ground for upcoming construction work. A team of very efficient riggers working up around the height of the lighting tower supports.
Looking forward to tomorrow now.

Why did tassie bowl first???? Im pretty sure they won the toss.

[@thinlaybhutia7493]

Wa to win big by more than 150 + runs.Some defensive batting by Tas in the first inning led by captain Silky is resulting in Wa dominating shield final win of 2024.

[@theusualplease4428]

what happens if tasmania manage to bat for a draw?

[@almac9203]

WA would be crowned champions. They only need a draw

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

It's gonna be so boring if WA wins

[@haydencooper_]

Have a cry 😂

[@HUNDXLEDITZ]

Most liked comment ever 😂😂
