Chris Tremain took seven wickets to help put Victoria in the box seat in their Shield game against Western Australia
Tremain's seven has Victoria in control
Chris Tremain has made the most of a more bowler-friendly wicket to take 7-82, putting Victoria in a strong position after two days in the Sheffield Shield clash with Western Australia at the WACA Ground.
After Victoria's first innings ended on 392, WA's reply saw them go at a run a ball leading up to lunch.
Despite all their batsmen making a start, none of them did better than second-gamer Josh Philippe's 62.
They ended up all out for 302, 90 runs short on the first innings.
Tremain was the star for Victoria claiming 7-82 from 18 overs. He enjoyed a livelier wicket than those at the MCG this season with six of his wickets WA's top eight batsmen.
Victoria then had an hour to bat before stumps to close day two and are 1-70 with a lead of 160.
First innings centurion Travis Dean fell for 28 when caught behind off Andrew Tye.
Marcus Harris is not out 31 with nightwatchman Peter Siddle yet to score.
Every time WA appeared to be steadying in their innings, they would lose a wicket.
