Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2640967, member: 7803"] I usually don't care about this but over the last couple of weeks I've seen some comments on cricket related stuff and some on here that are indicating that the Australian cricket selectors are bias towards players from NSW. Being from NSW I know bias will show but I'm really tired of this and I believe this is just a myth tbh. I'm pretty certain NSW would've produced the most test cricketers but when you look throughout the history of Australian cricket NSW have constantly produced some of the best players in Australia and have the most successful shield record out of all the states. Steve Waugh, Mark Taylor, Richie Benaud, Alan Border, Jeff Thompson, Adam Gilchrist, Mark Waugh, Glen McGrath, Michael Slater, Brad Haddin, Don Bradman, Stan McCabe, Michael Clarke, etc the list goes on plus the 46 shield wins. You can also say that NSW players such as Beau Casson, Phil Jaques, Michael Bevan, Simon Katich and Stuart Macgill were entitled to more tests or were treated hardly by selectors, (Bevan played for Tassie but was NSW born and bred and MacGill was from WA but played his whole shield career for NSW i'm pretty sure). In my days of watching cricket the wierderst selections are non NSW players like Dan Cullen, Shaun Marsh (once) Bryce Mcgain and Michael Beer. Maybe back in the 60's or something playing for NSW was an advantage but i've never really seen anything in my day that really suggests that NSW get an easier go. Thoughts anyone? [/QUOTE]
