Having grown up in Freo, lived in Melbourne for 15 years and now Hobart, I consider myself fairly unbiased.
So my point us that Tassie cricket puts the rest of the country to shame. For a state of 500000 people they are killing it.
Have made the last 3 domestic finals (BBL, SS and JLT) and the Canes are flogging everyone at the moment. In the last 10 years have made/won multiple SS finals. Not sure if Tim Coyle (former coach ) didn't want a national role, but some serious investigation has to be done by the ACB as to why this state has continued to out shine almost every other state.
Player development and culture are first class. There was upheaval when Dan Marsh left but they've come through that no problems.
Other states should be embarrassed.

3. The also-rans who can get a game with Tassie, but couldn't at home, and probably aren't going to go above state cricket - Milenko, Sandhu, Fekete (not withstanding the latter 2 making squads or T20 teams) - and I wonder whether these kinds of players don't reflect what's bad about the Sheffield Shield. The reason I've never loved how much Tassie recruits from interstate is because, first and foremost, the Shield's job is to produce national team players. And I think we can all agree that it's doing a ******* rubbish job at the moment! If you're recruiting and playing guys like Milenko and Sandhu above talented local juniors, you're putting results above developing players. So yeah, it's good to pound my chest about how great my home state team is doing... but to what end? Victorians are probably the one group of people that disagree - but I think the rest of us would much rather have 3 or 4 guys in or around a dominant test team than have a great state team full of players who are never going to play for Australia.
