Ever since @TheParraboy started talking about this losing streak 3 or 4 summers ago against Victoria we keep losing to them.

Might be time to stop bringing it up every time we play them ffs.

Reverse the curse by not even mentioning it.

We play the Vics again at the SCG Feb 18-21

I will be in attendance to squash the curse...

bit hard when half of your team is playing for Oz, although we had the team to beat those Mexicans, that was a poor effort

We won it 2019-20

Reached the final the year before, and the year after

We have dropped down to Tigers level last few years

WA are the Ruff, going for 4 in a row

Sheffield Shield wins
47 (1896, 1897, 1900, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1914, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1926, 1929, 1932, 1933, 1938, 1940, 1949, 1950, 1952, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1990, 1993, 1994, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2014, 2020)

Longest Title Drought in there history is 17 years between 1966-1983.

Was that WSC days

And Is 17 years even a drought ffs.

I suppose going off that is 1 Title in 10 years though is probably below average on what we expect.

Patterson 91 and Edwards 88.

Three figures please boys. On both dismissals the ball did turn but they'd been out there for so long they should be on top of it. Show some mental maturity its just a number.

Who is the NSW Cricket sports psychologist? Let me take the job. Imagine the bowlers are naked.

Ben Manenti from SA has been a really solid contributor with bat and ball for them the last couple of summers. Took a 5-fer to go along with 60-odd 2nd innings dig (was run out in the first innings).... Quiet achiever
