In January 2007 Cricket NSW Honorary Research Librarian Colin Clowes launched his book, “150 Years of NSW First Class Cricket. A Chronology.”

As part of the book launch Colin Clowes also selected his NSW team of the 150 years.

NSW made their first-class debut against Victoria at the MCG in 1856 and they won by 3 wickets and up until their 150th year have gone on to win the Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup on 44 occasions. The most successful first-class cricket team in Australia.

The quality of the team is undoubted as is the quality of the players who missed selection.
