Tons from Shaun Marsh and Cameron Green put Western Australia on top
South Australia took just four wickets on the opening day of a new season with Green warming up for the Ashes in fine style
Western Australia 4 for 324 (Marsh 118, Green 106) lead South Australia
Green, 22, is well on his way to joining those greats scoring his seventh Shield century and his eighth first-class hundred in his last 35 innings. The pair shared a 199-run stand on a beautiful batting surface. They scored with ease all around the ground striking 25 fours and six sixes between them. They were particularly savage on South Australia’s three spinners Travis Head, Lloyd Pope, and Sam Kerber.
Hilton Cartwright and Josh Philippe negotiated the second new ball late in the day giving WA a chance to push for a huge first innings total on day two.
