Western Australia were once again crowned one-day champions after achieving a commanding victory over New South Wales on Sunday.

NSW’s misfortune was summed up perfectly during their batting innings, as a communication calamity saw Matthew Gilkes and Will Saltzmann involved in major confusion.

Saltzmann hit the ball through mid-wicket on what appeared to be two comfortable runs as WA’s Nick Hobson flicked the ball towards mid-wicket.

However, the pair underestimated Hobson’s arm and Gilkes had to charge towards the crease in a desperate attempt to make it. Andrew Tye, on the bowler’s side, removed the bails as Gilkes charged towards the crease, before spotting Saltzmann in no man’s land and hitting the stumps on the striker’s side with a direct hit.

Both batters were well short of their mark, but as Gilkes was stumped first, he had to walk.

“If it’s not over at the bowler’s end, it’s over at the other end and NSW are seven down,” commentator Adam Peacock said.

NSW’s tail then collapsed, losing four wickets in 10 runs, giving WA a five-wicket win with 100 balls remaining.
