You don't have to have a golden era to win a shield so don't know what the point is but WA's golden era was certainly the 70s. There have been thinner pickings in recent times.

in your comfort zone then

If it looks like Red attempting to slip out of a faux pas, and it smells like Red attempting to slip out of a faux pas, the chances it is Red attempting to slip out of a faux pas.

Well anyone else find another golden era for WA other than the 70s?

Does 5 wins in the 80's count?

3 in the 90s ...including back to back ?

Oh sh!t

She's f*cked it giganto here... it'll take some Karti-esque backtracking to get out of this one.

Place your bets. I reckon she'll give it the: "Just because you win the Shield, doesn't mean it was a golden period."

What about you chaps?

I wonder where she is today?

My premise is basically on the basis of the number of elite players they sent to the Aussie team during this period.

It's been much more barren in recent times in comparison.

Atm, Qld is the shield leader but where is its representatives?

Totally sh!t backtracking, Red. Abominable, in fact.

Still you do seem the type who is never, ever, ever wrong. Ever.

I envy the likes of you.

Fark, talk about moving the goal posts. We've moved to a totally different sport.

60s

McKenzie

70s

Marsh
Lillee
Hughes ...split between 70/80s

Ross Edwards ...good player

Yardley
Wood
Laird...debuted in 70s but career highlights in 80s

80s

Alderman
Reid
Marsh

Moody

90s

Martyn
Langer
Gilchrist

MacGill*

00s

Katich
Hussey

By my rough count (and with some asterisks on origin)

9 players debuted pre 1970
17 players debuted in the 70s (WSC probably caused /brought forward 7 debuts)
9 players debuted in the 80s
8 players debuted in the 90s
9 players debuted in the 00s

and Goodwin Mullally and McCague came out of the Wozzie shield team to play for Zimbabwe and England in the 80s/90s

WA also technically produced Mallett and Jenner in the 70s. Both were part of Australia's top mid-70s teams - both went to SA because they couldn't break into WA's strong squad.

And Gilly is from NSW is he not?

this is why Red and Taips actually get on well (taips never being wrong either)- it is a sybiotic relationship with co-dependency aspects...their choice of avatars speak volumes

Actually I don't think I moved the goalposts in any case. It was a golden era in the 70s for WA by any measure - test reps., trophies etc. In fact the latter counted more then because teams invariably played with their full complement of test men.

Mallett and Jenner were in my numbers and in my rider on origins

The difference being that I am never wrong.

More like you just invoke sarcasm rules.

BTW never wrong. Since when has Charl spelt his surname Langeveld?

It was a tongue in cheek comment you silly moo. And as usual you jumped in feet first.

Your compatriots didn't deny that. You painted the picture of it being exclusively then, like they didn't have test reps and trophies since. You got corrected. Then shat your knicks. Quite a poor display.
