The folly of comparing payer performances in a grade comp compared to their performances in FC comp can best be illustrated by the fact that both Nasser Hussain and Monty Panesar have played at different times in Adelaide's grade comp, not exactly the best standard in the country, and struggled all season. If you've played FC cricket, it would be awfully difficult to get up mentally for even 1st grade cricket so to compare the two without considering the mental aspect seems somewhat erroneous.

As for NSW grade cricket being the equal of county cricket, that's just silly. NSW are middle-table in both comps here; the state side isn't even the best in this country, let alone better than every other team in England and they were just spanked by Victoria by an innings, despite Vic only being one place on the table higher.
