Interstate Shitfight thread.

[Gough]

In order to keep this shit out of other threads here we have it. I'll start, if Steve Waugh was Tasmanian he never would have played for Australia.
Have it.

 

[HBF]

Sticking to the current theme, Brad Hodge would have played more tests for Australia had he played for NSW.

 

[Lynnsanity]

The MCG is the greatest stadium in all of planet earth.........

Said no Non-Victorian ever

Smasha and Lynnsanity are here! I'll put on the popcorn, are people ok with extra salty?

If Victoria had any decent cricketers they'd be in the Australian side.

Thankfully they don't ... I'm not sure I could've coped with another Ashes loss.

 

[Lynnsanity]

If we are going to list interstates facts then I’ll begin:

-Victoria are dead last on the Sheffield Shield Table
-The Melbourne Concrete Gymnasium has rolled out the worst pitch of the summer
- The Melbourne Concrete Gymnasium also had a whopping 14,000 patrons on a Saturday with an ashes test in the balance
-And how good are those Melbourne Stars [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

They also drew against a 3rd string NSW side.

Maxwell is a poor mans Mitch Marsh.

Weak against the short ball and rubbish outside off stump.

Never really understood the interstate shit fighting tbh

It's like if people kept talking about VFL/WAFL/SANFL/NEAFL junk.

Sydney has more washouts than anyone else

Subscribed for the Lynnsanity melts

Is there a shit fight though , there's only one state melting about test and one day selections

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I disagree with the OP. Steve Waugh would've been Tasmania's best player and would've had a great career for Australia. It's just being Tasmanian, he wouldn't been given 4 years to get up to speed like he did.

Brad Hodge would be an all time great if he had the endless opportunities a bum like Justin Langer had.

 

[PhatBoy]

David Boon made his debut not long before Steve Waugh and iirc hadn’t done a whole heap at Shield level.

The Tasmanian who would have played for Australia if he were from elsewhere (even allowing for the quality of his contemporaries) is Jamie Cox

 

[Hamingja]

Rename thread Victorians have a whinge thread.

Victoria v everyone else is the only shitfight.

I like how it's all Victorians. Especially when some Victorians are saying Maxwell's omission was understandable.

Meanwhile, everyone in this thread is whinging about Victorians "whinging".

 

[JackOutback]

Jo Angel should have been picked ahead of Glenn McGrath.

Tim Zoehrer was a better keeper than Ian Healy.

Let's go!

He was certainly a better bowler than Healy

Surely I've comfortably won the Shaun Marsh being a far, far better Test cricketer than Brad Hodge now.

 

[Cold Sober]

60,000 at the 'G' is 60,000, in Victoria we only have to count one head. The new stadium over West they told me will host 180,000

Yeah but just remember he isn’t Victorian that’s why he got so many chances supposedly according to smash face.

Conveniently forgets the calibre of competition Hodge was competing with to get a test spot at that stage of his career compared to the competition for Shaun Marsh’s position in the test side over the last few years just to suit his made up everyone against Victoria political propaganda.

I’d assume the side coming dead last in the Shield is I don’t know, maybe, not worthy of having a current test representative for obvious reasons because their players are gash, with the exception of Maxwell who I have admitted several times was hard done by. What I have noticed with Victorian players over the years is that the few that do stand out at state level, most of the time get found out at test level and can’t make the next step. Doesn’t help that their team is currently full of or recently had contracted the biggest flogs in the cricket community (Matt Wade, Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Scott Boland, Dan Christian) oh and Glenn Maxwell going by Steve Smith and CA’s current perception of him depending who you believe there.

If you want the definition of a player hard done by, look no further than Chris Hartley. Was the best wicketkeeper in the country when Nevill and Wade were considered over him to replace Haddin due to their supposed better batting record but Hartley was no slouch with the bat either. Think he would have done as good as Tim Paine is currently going now.

Nathan Lyon would have been dropped after India if he wasn’t a new south welshman
