Head out Cheaply, Thornton Gets Shield Career-Best A dominant bowling performance from Jason Thornton has propelled the ACT Comets to a crushing 174-run victory over Western Australia at Manuka Oval on Saturday. Thornton, who finished with figures of 4-34 off just 10 overs, had his career-best figures in Sheffield Shield cricket, helping to dismiss the visitors for a meagre 134 runs in their second innings. The Comets, resuming on 2-43 after being bowled out for 236 in their first innings, took control of the match early, with opener Sam Harper top-scoring with 63. WA's batting struggles continued as they lost wickets regularly, with Thornton and fellow seamer Harry Nielsen combining to devastating effect.#Manuka_Oval #Sheffield_Shield #Jason_Thornton #ACT_Comets
