WA claims the sheffield shield for 1992 with this win.

In an enthralling five day cricket match (which was hardly covered at all by
the media (not that I actually own a TV at the moment), I guess channel 9
deigned the sheffield shield final not important enough to fly a crew all the
way out to Perth).

Anyway, In an enthralling match, which could have gone either way throughout
the five days, "WA made the breaks when it counted" said New South Wales
skipper, Geoff Lawson, at the close of play.

Earlier in the day, NSW looked to be cruising to victory after young paceman,
Jo Angel, was blasted for 20 runs in his 6th and 7th overs. However, WA
captain, Geoff Marsh, kept him on and 6 deliveries later the 22-year old
initiated a NSW batting collapse that ended Geoff Lawson's dream of a happy
start to his cricket retirement.
