Well it's true. Both you and Eclipse seem to knock the guys from Qld who are proven quality players. While you are the only person I know who rates Dominic Thornely, even others from N.S.W. don't rate him...

(And yes I am aware of his recent double century, but everyone gets lucky once).

*funny :p

You are to NSW as Hinton is to Worcestershire.

That is one of the greatest compliments I could ever get. :D

Thank you Neil.

It is my aim to be hated by as many N.S.Welshman as possible.

Eh? I'm confused. That were aimed at Age.

You, Kyle, are to NSW as Hinton is to Warwickshire :D
Oh, ok, I was a little confused to. My bad! I don't have a full background of the Hinton and Warwickshire/Worcestershire debate.

You quoted my post, so I thought it was aimed at me.

Settle down boys, you've got the best team in the world. ;)

Not all of us are blinded by out patriotism. Even though the paper today said that the current qld team could rival most international sides, I don't think it could, at full strength, yes, but the current side would struggle. Atm we rely to heavily on our big guns, and the other players aren't stepping up when it is required.

Hinton rates everyone playing for Worcestershire as near-Godlike and hates Warwickshire.

Explain this to me:

Season 2003/04
Bowling
Cameron White: 35 wickets at 37.80
Nathan Hauritz: 16 wickets at 63.93
Batting
Cameron White: 522 runs at 40.15
Nathan Hauritz: 196 runs at 28.00

Now, from those statistics can u tell me which had the better season?
I have to agree with your wholeheartedly. Cameron White is the better cricketer, both with bat and ball. Hauritz had such a bad season that he lost his ACB contract.

I think they went with Hauritz as he had been in the team before, had toured before and therefore would, in their eyes, suffer less of a culture shock.

However, that is the only reason I can think of that even vaguely makes sense.

What about the one about how they've been bowling in the nets?

You've confused me.

I meant Australia, not Queensland. Unless that's what you meant too?

Well, you joined in the conversation during a debate about domestic teams so I just assumed.
