All things Cricket.

You're counting Watson whos from QLD, then played for Tassie, and then NSW
You counted Forrest who only got a run when he went to QLD
You counted Christian who only got a run when he went to SA
You counted Ed Cowan who i thought was from Tassie all along?




I did some research
Since 1998/99 QLD has been in the final on 10 occasions, winning 4
Since 1998/99 NSW has been in the final on 5 occasions, winning 3

First of all, Watson went Tassie > QLD > NSW. Ed Cowan grew up in Sydney.


And yes, I counted them.

yeah, true about Watson and Cowan

New South Wales have won the most titles, with 45 overall.

So in the modern era, where all teams have similar access to good facilities and training - NSW aren't winning any sheffield shield titles

I can't believe you clung back to the 1800's in an attempt to win.
Look in the past man, NSW had 1000 runs put on them vs Victoria in 1926/27
The only modern team to come near that was when QLD put 900 runs on in 2005/06
QLD is all over NSW in the modern era, and that's the era me and you grew up in. its the era that matters here


That's like saying the Dragons are the greatest league team cos they've won the most titles.
In the modern era, Broncos and Storm are all over them.

brb disregarding history.


I think the bowler I was forgetting before was..

Jackson Bird - NSW.

what better way to win an argument, than to ignore everything that matters

love you beertank
brb, joking

No, I typed out this huge post and then I deleted it because I'm on nightshift, my time is precious, I feel as though you have more time than me, required to win this debate.

I feel as though i should be spending my time more constructively, like sleeping, hitting the gym or figuring out ways to kill myself so i dont have to go to work.

i always appreciate your posts beer. youre a quality poster
Let's just say you win.


meanwhile, QLD are all over tassie in day 1 of the final. I live about 20mins walk from the Gabba

I watched both league games + Aussies batting vs West Indies tonight
Slow pitch is slow. Those West Indies spinners were raping us. Samuels and the other dude. They both bowl at 93km/hr and get spin and bounce. they were fucked to play

also, peter forrests innings was one of the worst ive seen in ages. he got something like 26 from 62.. i know its a slow pitch and shit, but he spent so much time blocking, or missing the ball

Vernon Philander is too good.

45 wickets at 13.60 after playing a mere 6 tests! Includes; 2 four wicket hauls, 5 five wicket hauls and 2 ten wicket matches. Only a medium fast bowler to boot.

(Also has 307 First Class wickets at 18)

Not a bad start to your test career.

Philander made his ODI debut on his 22nd birthday, against Ireland at Belfast. He took 4 for 12, a match-winning performance.

Future trivia question for you timmy!!

yeah ive noticed philander
he gets mad swing at 132 km/hr

Got a quiz in a couple of weeks actually. What are the odds that they'll ask the question; "Which South African fast bowler took 4/12 against Ireland on his 22nd birthday?".

More like where did Vernon Philander make his ODI debut?

QLD won the shield title. i flicked over just in time to see them hit the winning runs
Aus vs West Indies is boring as fuck so far. I want the tests to start already

yeah ODI/t20 sucks balls

Danish Kaneira (PAK) got charged with spot fixing in a county match

ahhhh now i know why i put this picture.
Its a cheese DANISH

These tests are tight hey, clarke, mr cricket in form, kallis, amla, De villiers as well. Adelaide has always been a batters wicket and I dont think I will be far off in betting on another draw with high first innings runs.

some quality cricket on display from the aussies. Unfortunately i have work today so i wont get to see much till 3pm.

we've been on top of Sth Africa since day 3/4 of the Gabba test

Look I cant refute this... I am just having a good time listening to kerry and drew on grandstand.
