Victorians’ trio has become the first cricketers to win Australia’s ‘triple crown’ of home competitions. There were 5 Victorians performed in each Victoria’s JLT One-Day Cup and JLT Sheffield Shield triumphs this season. However, the most effective Marcus Harris, Chris Tremain, and Cameron White were also part of the KFC BBL-winning Melbourne Renegades aspect.
“It’s capped off an incredible 12 months for us at Victoria. It began long ago and returned in September with the only-dayers,” Harris said in the publish-in-shape presentation on Fox Cricket. “It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, so I have not had much time to sit down and think about what I’ve achieved. “But winning all three titles with the Vics has been incredible, which has been very special. To win a Test series against Sri Lanka was brilliant and manifestly to make my debut for Australia. “It’s been quite a jam-packed summer; however, I’ve loved every minute of it.”
Victoria and Melbourne Renegades coach Andrew McDonald also can lay declare to the treble, having been at the back of the reins for all three titles. Travis Dean – who captained the kingdom of their Shield’s last conquer NSW – and Matt Short were the alternative two, who performed in the one-day final in addition to the closing weekend’s fine title win. Dean played video games for the Melbourne Stars during the remaining season, while Short played Big Bash cricket with the Adelaide Strikers.
Shield-winner Jon Holland became a squad member with the Renegades BBL; however, they did now not play in the final and changed into Australia’s Test squad inside the UAE for the only-day duration match. They have been the two most effective players to win the BBL name and Sheffield Shield within the same season. Fawad Ahmed became the primary man to do this in 2015-sixteen when he became part of the Sydney Thunder’s title BB, after which he gained the Shield with Victoria.
And in the ultimate summer season, Michael Neser played a leading function with bat and ball in wins for the Adelaide Strikers before assisting the Queensland Bulls to elevate the Shield.
Only twice have players had he,one-day identify, and fiedBL identified within the identical season. In 2013-13, the Queensland Bulls took out the one-day name, and the Brisbane Heat received02, with Chris Hartley, Luke Pomersbach, Joe Burns, Peter Forrest, and Alister McDermott playing in each final. In 2014-15, the Western Warriors won the one-day cup in the same year because the Perth Scorchers gained BBL, representing in both final XIs.
Winning the Shield and one-day cup double is slightly more common, but it continues to be an unprecedented feat, and this summertime’s Victorian facet was best the ninth to reap that double.
