Western Australia 176 (Voges 58, Butterworth 4 for 34) v Tasmania 5 for 142 (Hogan 3 for 16)

Luke Butterworth's four wickets rolled Western Australia for 176 before Tasmania battled to 5 for 142 at stumps on day one of the Sheffield Shield match at the WACA ground.

Mitchell Johnson was forced to leave the field with a rolled ankle while Ricky Ponting could make only 33 on an eventful day in the west. The Tigers captain, George Bailey, was dropped twice on his way to compiling an unbeaten 49.

The Warriors never came to be reduced to three for 41 as Butterworth cut through the top order in a manner reminiscent of his success in Tasmania Shield won the 2010-11 season. He pinned Liam Davis Marcus Harris Marcus by IPN and Northern edged delivery angled across them.

Butterworth later represented Adam Voges, the only batsman Washington to score on an amazing substance, before the sleeves cut short.

Reply Tasmania was kept under control by the WA fashion player Michael Hogan, who began by Ed Cowan caught in the stands and then add rings Nick Kruger and James Faulkner.

Johnson, who tipped the young paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile of the WA XI for reasons of balance of the team, was dismissed cheaply and then interrupted, either before, slipped on his way and went to the field without care delivery complete its more than seven.

Ponting looked in good touch, but could not go to his departure, shaking a power bat and keyboard to the leg below the left beer bowling Michael swivel arm.
