Well done Tassie,very jealous as a redback supporter.

[Bulls forever]

have to agree with that, being 2/6 or whatever it was yesterday, they needed to consolidate but they, consolidated way too long in retrospect, in hindsight nsw wasted a full session (the last today) but it was always going to be a tough decision for katich, it was a very generous declaration, too generous and as a team they surely worked out how many overs they needed to get tas out a 2nd time and 94 overs was probably ok but the 203 wasnt, they ended up being about 70 or 80 short, full marks to tassie they just took their time when batting and it paid off.

in closing, what is that state doing that we are not?? it pisses me off no end to see them win their 2nd title in 5 years with about a quarter of our population whilst we are rooted (literally) to the bottom of the table

Stampy, IMO they have recruited far better than us.
Cowan - NSW
Kruger - Qld
Cossie - SA
Bert - somewhere else, but not Tas, though been there for some time.
Maher - as per Bert

Faulkner - local talent, always going to be good and promoted and given time to mature.
Triffit - local talent, Aus U19 last year winning world cup, promoted local talent.
