We should also remember that some west aussies, including KJ Hughes, regard Bruce Yardley as having been unlucky over missing selection to England in 1981.

BH: I think he did, I get confussed sometimes between him and little Greg Shipperd from Scarbrough whom definitely play for Tasmania.

Australia should be a lot stronger in cricket if one state in particular lifted their rating in producing quality Test Cricketers- VICTORIA.

For a state with a very large population they have been pathetic in this regard
With only Shane Warne & James Pattinson of quality in the last 25 years and going back 35 years you only could add Dean Jones & Merv Hughes and possibly Damien Fleming that is pitiful compared to NSW and smaller states like WA & TAS.

Paul Rieffel was good for the time he came in - very handy

BH: beautifully done on the Victorians-- the Shield used to be a major event until NSW startted to win every year after the Second World War. I wonder why it is? Is'nt the ACB in Melbourne?

Is Warne a Victorian? He likes the British, and, even more to the point, his mum is a German from all reports.

AR it has long been in my thinking re Victoria and their poor representation for Australia by way of top quality.
Bizarrely they have had a fascination with recruiting from other states especially of late WA- Rogers, Harris, Stoinis, Hussey, Beaton et al

BH: it has painned me to watch such good talent go play for the dark blue -- all the more so as we have strugglled for the last twenty years ourselves. Warne always regared Berry as harshly treatted, competting as he was with Gilchrist. Perhaps, if matters had of been different, and he had been made captain, he would have batted Gilchrist at five or six and had Berry as the keeper.
