The New South Wales cricket team, or the Speed Blitz Blues, is one of the most high profile teams in the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 contest consisting of eight centrally contracted players by Cricket Australia. Based in Sydney, the team competes in the first-class competition, the Sheffield Shield, the Ford Ranger Cup (limited-overs cricket) and the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash.
It is widely believed that if the New South Wales team is strong, cricket in Australia is blooming. Australia’s icons and international cricketing royalty, Sir Donald Bradman, Richie Benaud, Steve Waugh and Glenn McGrath, have played first-class cricket for New South Wales. The Speed Blitz Blues have won the first-class competition 44 times and the one-day domestic cup nine times.
