ING Cup (all played twice)

1. NSW
2. WA
3. Vic
4. Qld
5. SA
6. Tas

when are the selectors going to think about putting more NSW in the Aussie one-day squad? we are going for the three-peat yet only have Clarke, Bevan and Bracken in the ODI side, and Bracken is only a fringe player.

Waugh another hunded at domestic level. Shouldnt be long till Katich and O'Brien force their way into the ODI side either and MacGill should be there. plus we can all be thankful when the NSW stocks hold up the nation when McGrath and Lee return as well.

okay, lets see who we pick from that side then...

S. Waugh
M. Waugh
M. Slater
S. Katich

D. Thornely
A. O'Brien
S. Clark

katich is the only one from that side because s and m waugh won't be selected, neither will slats even though they're all world class cricketers, so that comes in handy...

s clark is alrite, but never good enough to play international cricket... and those other 2 are spastics...

we need to remove some nsw players from the national squads and get some vics in...

you said it. the fact that they won't be selected despite being world class says it all. They'd shudder at the thought of dropping their only tasmanian, despite averaging 28.8 in his last 10 innings, when waugh was dropped, his last two "suspect" series he only averaged 48.38

very biased anti NSW stuff :p

though M Waugh i agree shouldnt come into calculations... he's retired. I dont think Slats will make it back, neither will Waugh, no matter how much form they are in. Its the same when Mark Taylor was dropped. The selectors feel they need to spread the wealth rather than pick the best sides. Taylor was told no matter how many runs or how quickly he got them for NSW, he wouldnt be considered.
