Western Australia 176 and 2 for 223 (Davis 100*) lead Tasmania 206 (Hogan 5 for 30) by 193 runs
Liam Davis made an unbeaten 100 to push Western Australia into a strong position after Michael Hogan's five wickets prevented Tasmania's batsmen from claiming much beyond first innings points on day two of the Sheffield Shield match at the WACA ground.
Starting the second innings 30 behind after the Tigers lost their last four wickets in the space of 17 runs, Davis had solid stands with Marcus Harris, Marcus North and Adam Voges to bolster WA's chances of a first-up victory after a struggle against the visitors on day one.
Hogan was the main reason that the Tigers could not build a significant advantage, but the rapid test player Mitchell Johnson has also played a role in the rejection of George Bailey low birth weight of 49, plus the second day, the captain visiting with not added to your account overnight.
Johnson was forced to leave the field when he rolled his ankle on the first day, but warmed up freely, and it was nice to go back to the other in the morning.
Matt Dixon then struck twice in as many balls, get Luke Butterworth LBW then shaking the vines with Xavier Doherty Yorker.
Hogan three wickets for the first night had kept Washington in the fight, and it pierced led by Ben Adam, before being Hilfenhaus Maher IPN with his next delivery to be on a hat-trick early in the second rounds of the LTTE .
