Thought you New South Welshmen might find this article in today's Age interesting:

Sydney, December 18 NSW PR Spin

PHIL Hughes sent a timely reminder to the Australian selectors today when he hit a ball through the covers for three.
SCG veterans said it was possibly the best three seen at the ground since since Walters. Others said it put them in the mind of Trumper. An unconfirmed report said acting NSW skipper Moises Henriques called the rest of the team out onto the players' balcony to watch as Hughes compiled his three, saying: ''You might never see anything like this again.'' ..................

Not really, more of a typical Victorian whinge. Which has gotten past the point of interesting to me and has moved onto extremely boring.

Pretty pathetic, and Hughes doesn't deserve that.

Is Callum Ferguson meant to play with a recon'd knee before he's done full rehab?

Good article...

Also today, the latest of a series of red-letter days for NSW cricket, Josh Hazlewood took a wicket. In one of the most sustained displays of pace bowling SCG diehards can remember, Hazlewood bowled the ball all the way down the pitch and still had enough energy, reflexes and alertness to take the catch when it was hit back to him. And not get tangled up in the netting.

hahaha

I wonder how long before this thread will be locked... I'm starting to think perhaps Hilditch is a moderator around here...

Funny article.

Why are you always the first to bite when this topic comes up? It was a tongue in cheek article for Victorians to have a laugh at, and gullible New South Welshmen to cry about. You obviously fell into the trap...

 

[Kid A]

As a VIC who thinks there is a NSW bias, I think that was a shit article. You have to be ******ed if you can repeat one joke over the course of 800 words and call it an article. **** you Baum.

 

[Tambaran]

Very funny article.

Perhaps there is a bias but Hughes was not selected because of that.
Hughes is clearly a class ahead of the other batsmen of his age

 

[Bomber Bears]

I liked how Hughes hit 122 against Victoria yesterday

 

[Selective Retention]

And when there is a batting position likely to be up for grabs in the boxing day test every vic to a man with a chance to get a call up fails miserably.

 

[Lazarus]

He may have been poking fun at the people who say there is a NSW bias.
