Despite having a 10th of the population, the full strength Tassie side are putting up more of a fight against a weakened WA than the full strength Vic side which folded like a cheap tent last week and then had its captain chuck a tantrum because they always lose to us.

Just merge them with the Redbacks, who actually produce regular Test players.

Why are West Australians on here so bitter? Smile a bit, frowning all the time gives you wrinkles.

They have a superiority complex combined with small man syndrome.

Plus crow about dominating in the weakest era of Shield cricket since the turn of the century, as shown by a rebuilding side making B2B finals.

Personally I like to crow about dominating and producing national team regulars across all formats, not just red ball. You should acknowledge that success as well thanks

As your Vic friend Gero melted about on the previous page (he seems extra offended about our success for some reason), when Vic was dominating they produced sweet **** all players in the national Test side and beat a Redbacks team twice with no Test caps to that point, less than the "rebuilding" Victoria that keeps crumbling every time they play WA.

Well done. You've dominated the weakest era of Shield cricket in over 3 decades.

Come back to me when you win 6/11 (and the only reason it wasn't 7/12 is because they let NSW play Jacques (0 games), Clarke (0 games), Lee (0 games), Clark (0 games) and MacGill (0 games) in the final).

There's been weaker times than now, like when Victoria ran up the shield victories

Wrong, but it's you saying that so it's to be expected. We were in a much stronger era.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Not sure why Victorians seem to be so up in arms about WA celebrating winning a few shields, having to play it down. Talk about tall poppy syndrome.

Quality gif, you've been eating a lot of it this year.

Not sure why anyone is worked up in here, the shield final is irrelevant apparently.

Only if Victoria don't win it

3 in a row is excellent in any era. Well played WA

Sam Northeast breaks Graham Gooch’s record score at Lord’s

There have been six first-class triple centuries at Lord’s in its 210-year history. Northeast has now hit the biggest of the lot

Graham Gooch's Lord's record 333 against India in 1990 has been knocked off.

Two days and the combined scored is 4/758. Says a lot.

 

[Jatz]

Not a massive sample size but you’d think Mitch would give him a bit of grief over this haha

 

[RPCB]

Welcome back, West Indies!

 

[Jatz]

They were never going to do well in those conditions.

 

[RPCB]

I hope it’s the conditions and not going back to being a terrible team. 6 months is a long time between test matches. The Windies need to play more at this level.

 

[Jatz]

You could say that about most nations. How long since our last test match? How long since England's etc.

Okay, fair enough. England did have a 5 match test series in January that went until March. And Australia had a test series in February/March, after the Windies series, and the next one for Australia is in November, so around the same timeframe to the Windies test series against Australia and England.

Also, quote the person you want to reply to.
