And the two top ranked male and female Golfers, tennis players ,surfers

It is getting hard for our Qld sportsmen and sportswomen to continually hold up the national interests

Can some of you other states pull your fingers out please and show something ,anything …......

 

[stryker]

Hard to bite back when you haven't got anything to bite back with

Bit toothless down your neck of the woods Stryker

The only way NSW will beat Qld in SOO if the plane crashes with the entire Qld side and coaching staff in it and even then they would still only beat us 2-1

QLD fluked the Shield, they had only one player missing for national honours and that was Forrest. NSW had Clarke, Watson, Lee, Hughes, Khawaja, Cummins, Bollinger, Haddin, Hazlewood, Starc, all of those players except Hazlewood and Bollinger (Who were injured) played for Australia at various stages this season.

If NSW had a full strength side for the entire Summer I know who I'd be backing to win the Shield :wink:

I can't fault the Reds winning the Rugby, although you are asking for a backlash in the A-League with Central Coast being a threat, especially considering there is only 2 soon to be 1 QLD teams to NSW's 3.

 

[Yossarian]

Forrest is from NSW anyway!!

 

[Jazza]

The thing is, even without a full strength side in the BBL and with two Sydney teams, the Sixers still won the BBL!

As long as it hurts your ears that's all that matters :laughing:

Just you wait happy, the tide will turn, first with the A-League, then Origin, and so on…. Except for cricket because we have so many top players that make the national side that we have to run 'A' sides year after year :wink:

 

[dermo]

AND Tassies 2 best players all summer were Cowan and Bird who are both from NSW :smiley:

 

[Marshall_magic]

While Qld's best cricketers were busy winning the shield, NSW's best cricketers were beating India and Sri Lanka.

 

[stryker]

…and losing to the Windies...

No it doesn't hurt my ears It just you keep playing the same tune …....badly :laughing:

Gee things aren't looking too pretty in the Carribean

Hussey will need a big score or we will be looking down the barrel

 

[Yossarian]

200 down heading into Day 4 is not great but not fatal. Pitch looks okay. If we get to lunch and we're almost level, time becomes a major factor. Hopefully Wade can get that debut record score that's been going since the first ever test…

 

[Jazza]

I'll be happy with 400.
It will be very hard for the Windies to press forward and get a result from midway through day 4 if we get to that 400 mark. And who knows if they try to press for a result, based on the slowness of the pitch, they could lose wickets.

Obviously if the Windies wrap it up quickly and bowl us out for 300, then the Windies batsman will have a lot more freedom and we will have a lot of work to do on the final day.
