Scorecard
A sparkling 75-ball 78 from Michael Di Venuto gave Tasmania a good start in reply to Western Australia’s 405, but ultimately it was the home side who ended the second day of the Pura Cup clash at the WACA in charge. By the close, Tasmania had slipped to 5 for 145, still 116 runs short of avoiding following on.Tasmania worked hard in the morning to take the last five Western Australian wickets for 100 runs. Ryan Campbell added only four to his overnight 76 before being run out while Adam Griffith took two more wickets to finish with 4 for 118.Di Venuto attacked the bowling, so much so that he dominated the opening partnership of 93 with David Dawson (19), but once Ben Edmondson had removed both batsmen in successive overs, Tasmania’s innings drifted. Shortly before the close Brett Dorey took two quick wickets, both caught behind by Campbell, to leave Tasmania on the rack.
