Mitch Johnson is a Queenslander.

Gilly from NSW too

 

[Lingsface]

Almost all of their cricket is in the WA team, they are sandgropers.

Mitchell Johnson played for Australia more than 50 times before moving to WA.

Most of Johnson's domestic cricket was in Queensland. And it's SOO. Michael Klinger played more cricket for SA than Victoria but under the SOO rules he'd be Victorian.

 

[Lingsface]

Shove your stats up your clacker he is a West Aus man!

That's just a conspiracy to deny SA Bradman.

I would say less overlap and dilution from their football codes, physically and demographically.

Comparing NSW to Victoria where I’ve been involved at both states. The cricket culture is totally different.

My feeling with cricket in Victoria was the local teams where mostly the footy boys having something to do in the summer. In NSW, the local teams where ‘cricketers’, every kid at school with any sort or athleticism played cricket. There was some overlap with the union boys, some league, footy and soccer boys, but it felt less of a secondary sport.

Then Queensland will be very stacked too like NSW if it was due to rugby league

The non-State of Origin i.e. "where they played the most" WA team:
J. Langer
G. Marsh
K. Hughes
A. Voges
M. Hussey
D. Martyn
A. Gilchrist
M. Johnson
D. Lillee
B. Yardley
T. Alderman

Alderman vs Mckenzie: Close but Alderman took 42 wickets in the 1981 Ashes.
Voges vs M. Marsh: Marsh won't catch up to his average but might surpass him by the end of his career.

Johnson played more than double for Queensland over WA.

He's a Queenslander. WA have Lillee, Alderman, Angel, Julian, Moody and Reid. They don't need him

 

[largebus]

Johnson played more than double for Queensland over WA.

You could argue either way with him, but he played his best cricket for Australia once he moved West.

Yeah but he also didn't play for WA until after his best cricket started.

Do you think NT or ACT could make a team?

 

[swingdog]

WA in the late 70s had seven players in the test side at one point. Can’t remember exact series.

It was the test where Lillee and Javed Miandad wanted to fight.
