Well done Western Australia, far too good.
I'm shattered at how poor we were, but that doesn't detract from WA's domination from the start of the game.
I hope that Tasmanian cricket can one day emulate what WA cricket is currently achieving.
It was all too hard for him to show a bit of pride and spine - Shield player of the Year or not. Same with Jewell and Wade.
At the very least I expected them to come out in the second innings and make WA work for the victory.
I've followed Tasmanian cricket since before the Shield days - I go back to 71-72.
This is the first time that I'm genuinely embarrassed to say I support them.
As good as WA have been, we've been disgraceful.
Too late.
Those who are trying to derail the stadium, and possibly the team as a result, have already made Tassie a laughing stock.
As a proud Tasmanian living afar, it's truly embarrassing to see. I'd really hoped that after all these years the state had made it into the 21st century.
There are a LOT of Tasmanian expats on the Australian mainland, that doesn't surprise me to be honest.
And when I say four memberships, they are all supporter type memberships these days, I can't afford 4 full memberships. :)
It goes back prior to the 80s. Gary Sobers played for SA in the early 60s for instance.
Victoria is the only state that hasn't had an international import play for them to the best of my knowledge.
It's how recording the history of sporting leagues or competitions works though. Achievements from back in the day still count, and are given equal weighting, despite the nature or quality of the competition changing.
It's why Test cricket records go back to 1877. Or Wimbledon records back to...
Ideally, a club should recognize all flags it has won - across all competitions. But if it chooses not to, or chooses to give different flags different weightings, that's fine too. It's the club's history, it can record it however it sees fit.
A competition/league should be recognizing all...
Here you go, buy yourself a sticker or three.
Consider it a thank you for your premiership captain (and the three other Tassies in your premiership side).
