State vs. Country

I get far more joy from a Victorian win then i do an Australian win.

Is there something wrong with me?

Yes.

There's something wrong with anyone who gets joy out of a Victorian win.

Probably got something to do with winning being normal for the Aussies and unusual for Victoria (and South Australia)

Yeah Id say you savour the Vic wins more simply cause you dont get too many of them!

what the last two posters said. I also get especially excited when the swans make the prelims, but not so much when Aus do in the world cup cricket.

To spin the question the other way around - what irritates you more: an Australian loss or a state loss?

I would say an Aussie loss in a live Test is more annoying, because its obviously a sign of underachievement. Redback losses I've become more than accustomed to.

Im probably even on the two Id say. But a Test win, when a West Aussie is the chief contributor (or 2) is the most satisfying.

When Langer and Gilly steered us home in Tasmania with that partnership a while back, I think I passed out from sheer pleasure.
