After being thwarted by the host team Tasmania 183 and 174 for 2 (Jewell
98*, Wakim 72), Western Australia gained an 88-run advantage, however, it was
later surpassed by West Australia 271 (Goodwin 85, Webster 3-30, Meredith 3-59)
by 86 runs.
Against Western Australia on day two in Hobart, the Sheffield Shield leaders
pulled off an incredible comeback led by Tasmanian opener Caleb Jewell, who
scored his best score of the year.
Tasmania captured six wickets on Saturday to knock WA out for 271 after they
had been thrashed for 183 on the first day and reached 174 for 2 at stumps.
When Tim Ward, Tasmania's opener, was out of the game in the
opening over of the second innings after edging Joel Paris into the slips,
things did not look good. Ward went out on the opening ball of the match in the
first innings, and his four-ball duck compounded his problems.
When Hilton Cartwright dropped Jewell off Cameron Green's bowling and took
advantage of the opportunity, he had not yet scored. With 101 balls, he hit 14
fours and two sixes, putting him on the edge of his first-season and sixth-class
century.
On the second day, Tasmania won the match thanks to a 170-run partnership between Jewell and Charlie Wakim.
However, Wakim was caught off Charlie Stobo a few minutes before stumps, which
resulted in his meaningless outing.
With Jordan Silk and Jewell at the crease, Tasmania amassed 150 in the last
session and led by 86 with eight wickets remaining going into the third day of
play.
The WA tail wagged earlier on Saturday as Paris scored an undefeated forty-odd
to give the visitors an 88-run advantage in the first innings. For Tasmania,
Riley Meredith and Beau Webster caused the greatest damage with the ball.
Jayden Goodwin of WA was caught off Meredith for 85, just missing out on his
first-class hundred.
