The Western Bulldogs produced one of their greatest finals performances to beat West Coast by 47 points in Thursday nights AFL elimination final at Domain Stadium.?Written off by most pundits heading into the match, the Bulldogs unleashed a blistering opening half to set up the 14.15 (99) to 7.10 (52) rout.The Bulldogs will meet the loser of Friday nights Hawthorn-Geelong qualifier in a blockbuster semi-final next week.But there was an element of heartbreak for the Bulldogs, who appear set to be without midfielder Lin Jong for the rest of the finals series.Jong burst into tears on the bench after injuring his right shoulder while being tackled into the ground by Jeremy McGovern in the second quarter.West Coast hadnt lost a home final since going down to Collingwood in 2007 in extra time.And they were expected to make light work of a Bulldogs outfit who had lost their past seven matches in Perth - including a shock 20-point loss just 11 days earlier to Fremantle.But the Bulldogs tore up the script to leave the 42,079 crowd shell shocked.We dont put a ceiling on what we can achieve this year. If we play like that, who knows how far we can go?Bulldogs veteran Matthew Boyd said after the match. Both sides took punts on the injury front that appeared to backfire early.Eagles ruckman Scott Lycett, who had been battling a left knee injury since midway through the season, hobbled to the bench in the 24th minute after laying a strong tackle.And stand-in Bulldogs skipper Easton Wood, who missed his sides recent loss to Fremantle, re-injured his ankle just minutes later.Both players were able to return to the field, but they failed to yield much influence on the match.Two costly turnovers in defence gifted West Coast the opening two goals of the contest.But from there, the Bulldogs stamped their authority, booting the next seven goals to open up a 31-point lead midway through the second quarter.West Coast players were simply stunned by the onslaught, and their decision making suffered.Eagles forward Jack Darling should have ended the run of Bulldogs goals when he marked just 15m out from goal.But with a teammate nearby, Darling decided to play on - only to be tackled immediately by Matt Suckling.Star Bulldogs midfielder Marcus Bontempelli had just six disposals to his name at halftime courtesy of a tight-checking job by West Coasts Mark Hutchings.But the Eagles were off the boil in the midfield, lacking the clinical edge that had netted them recent wins over GWS, Hawthorn and Adelaide.The Eagles trailed by 24 points at halftime, and the margin continued to swell in the third quarter as the Bulldogs run-and-stun game plan netted big rewards.And the Bulldogs were also resolute in defence, with Joel Hamling restricting Coleman medallist Josh Kennedy to just two goals - with one of those coming in the final minute of the match.SNAPSHOT OF THE WEST COAST-WESTERN BULLDOGS AFL ELIMINATION FINAL: * Western Bulldogs 14.15 (99) bt West Coast Eagles 7.10 (52) at Domain Stadium in Perth* Key moment: Eagle Jack Darling took a mark deep in the forward line against the momentum in the second quarter.

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. Ultra Boost Australia . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca.Twelve hours after his career-best 3 for 36 in his first ODI at home, wristspinner Tabraiz Shamsi was named in South Africas Test squad. And he wasnt letting much on.Test cricket is one of my aspirations so if I get an opportunity, I will take it on board and see how it goes, Shamsi told reporters in Port Elizabeth.The next morning, Shamsis dream came true. As one of two uncapped spinners in the squad and the one with international experience, Shamsi is more likely to debut in Australia than Keshav Maharaj, Dolphins left-arm spinner who is also in the squad. His first-class numbers suggest that he could be successful both as a wicket-taker and as a holding bowler if needed.Statistically, Shamsi has managed to combine the roles well. In the 2013-14 season when playing for Kwa-Zulu Natal Inland, Shamsi was the third-highest wicket-taker in the provincial three-day competition. He took 47 wickets at 20.02 and at an economy of 3.20. Last season, his breakthrough summer in franchise cricket, he finished as the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the Sunfoil Series, South Africas first-class competition, with 41 scalps at 19.97 and an economy of 3.29.Shamsis variations caught the eyes of the IPL, the CPL and the South African selectors who included him in a triangular series in the Caribbean in June. There, he played alongside Imran Tahir, who has become a mentor of sorts.Having Immi around is a blessing in disguise for me. Theres a lot I can learn from him, Shamsi said. He is trying to pass on the things he has learned to me, so that I can get it quicker than he did, because to know those things can take a good few years. He is the best guy to have around me. We speak quite a lot, about game plans and field placings, and all kinds of things.Another talking point could be Tahirs underwhelmiing Test career, which reached its lowest point in Australia.dddddddddddd Tahir conceded 260 runs without a wicket in Adelaide and could not properly re-establish himself in the longest format. While South Africas strong pace pack was one of the reasons Tahir struggled to find his place, his own enthusiasm also undid him. He was criticised for trying too hard and not being discerning enough in making use of his repertoire. Shamsi, who also has several variations in his skill-set, may look to learn from the Tahir lesson.Both wristspinners have more in common than ability though, which may be why they get on so well. Tahir and Shamsi have both made names for being expressive on the field, with Tahirs sprint celebrations and Shamsis bus-driver impression becoming YouTube hits. And Shamsi has shown he can go the other way too. He had a fiery exchange with Matthew Wade during the fourth ODI and could have a laugh about afterwards.It (banter) does get me going, Shamsi admitted. There wasnt any fight. We were just discussing where we were going to have dinner and we couldnt come to an agreement. I enjoy that kind of stuff, it gets me going and it gets the team going.A Test series in Australia is certain to require more of that and South Africa may feel they have the earned the right to engage in on-field chatter. Even though Kyle Abbott played down an advantage the ODI series win will give the Test side, South Africas dominance will not go unnoticed but Shamsi confirmed they are wary of being overconfident. Winning and losing is a habit. We are winning now. The guys are confident. The group has a brilliant work ethic but we havent ever felt like weve done the job. ' ' '
