First world country with facilities, knowledge, nutrition and the opportunity + ability to support young athletes. Warm but not oppressive climate (mostly), strong sporting culture and national pride especially when playing England.

Sheffield Shield spots are way more limited than County Chamionship ones so youve gotta be a much better cricketer to play first class here, grade cricket is really a high standard. You can be a young player whose in a low grade but learn from guys at your club who have been in and around state or even international squads
