Let's have a little look at how the start of the Australian domestic season is going. Read: Take that New South Wales!
Oh, what's that? Western Australia defeated New South Wales by eight wickets? AND first innings points? Goodness we are off to a fine start. Emphatic, did I hear you say? Indeed.
Bowling a grand total of six overs, 0/17, scoring a duck and 2 respectively, as well as being injured, would be enough to condemn any non-NSW player to the depths of ... hell. Beau Casson, on the other hand, is probably en route to India as I write.
Really, it was all thanks to Luke Pomersbach, who scored 78 off 74 in the second innings, and Shaun Marsh, who was 74 not out.
Until the name change in the late 90s, WA didn't do too badly in the Sheffield Shield for a few years. Let's hope this good start is a sign of things to come. And by 'let's' I know I'm talking about me and only me.
This weekend - WA vs Tasmania. I'm there.
The Warriors are on the march... one match at a time.

Well played Warriors, you've glossed over the loss of the foreyed gingah nicely by putting the NSW youth development squad to the sword.
Just think, in 10 years time when they've gone through puberty and are proudly wearing their baggy green caps, they'll look back on this day and realise that in some small way it shaped them into the cricketers they have become.
I think they'd forget. "Pfft. As if we'd lose to WA."
