WA still 188 behind Tigers after follow-on

Tasmania have routed an inexperienced Western Australia to reach a commanding position at stumps on day two of their Sheffield Shield match at Blundstone Arena in Hobart.

The Warriors were skittled for just 67 in their first innings in reply to the Tigers' 9-431dec, headlined by a Matthew Wade century.

Asked to follow on, they limped to 5-176, still behind by 188 runs.

Youngster Tom Rogers did the bulk of the damage for the home side, finishing with 4-9 from just three overs after a quick-fire 48 with the bat earlier in the day.

The Tigers' five-man pace battery was almost unplayable under overcast skies in Hobart, skittling the young Warriors for their equal-lowest ever total in the Tassie capital.

Sam Rainbird and Andrew Fekete picked up two scalps each as WA were rolled midway through the second session after being 2-23 at lunch.

The only shining light for the understrength Warriors was a second innings 74 from opener Josh Philippe.

They're missing eight players to Australian T20 or Test duty, including Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh and D'Arcy Short.

Resuming at 5-327 on Saturday morning, the Tigers lost Wade (139) and allrounder Simon Milenko (78) inside the first four overs.

But bowlers Rogers and Rainbird put a young Warriors attack to the sword in an 81-run partnership.

Tasmania are second-last on the table but just eight competition points behind leaders Queensland.

Late on day one, former Test wicketkeeper Wade brought up his 10th first-class ton after the Tigers had slumped to 5-159.
