Victorian quick Chris Tremain enjoyed getting away from the "frustrating" MCG wicket to claim 7-82 against Western Australia on the second day of the Sheffield Shield clash at the WACA Ground.

The MCG wicket continues to be derided for providing no assistance to bowlers in Shield and Test cricket, which means a Victorian quick like Tremain has been frustrated on home turf.

Despite that, with 7-82 against WA on Sunday, he has 36 Shield wickets for the season and considering he's plying his trade at the MCG half the time, that's impressive with an average of 21.63.

Victoria are in a strong position to push for an all-important outright win in Perth too, ending the second day 1-70 in their second innings with an overall lead of 160.
