What's your view, @golfaddick, on the fact they walked off the field after the 77th over of the day?
79 overs given that 2 were lost due to change of innings.
Not good obviously. I've been to Perth (in January) and it does get dark pretty early but no idea why they ended with 11 overs still left to bowl. Losing 17 wickets in a day does slow things down but I don't think there were many DRS reviews so no idea why so few were bowled.
Btw......was this played at the WACA or the new ground ? Perth is known for its pace but not for 17 wickets going down for 237 runs in 1 day.

It's at the new ground.
In my view, bowling 77 (out of 90) overs in a day is a terrible return. I asked you what you thought because, of course, no-one in the crowd could claim to be short-changed, having seen 20 players batting. But I can't see how losing that many overs in a day can be acceptable.
(For the record, I also don't see why they should lose two overs for the change of innings. Players should be able to make up the ten minutes it (sometimes) takes to change innings).
