Of all states involved in domestic cricket, Victoria has established itself as one of the proudest and most successful in history.
The Victorian Bushrangers play their home matches at the MCG. The Cricket Victoria headquarters are also located just a short stroll from the MCG in Jolimont Terrace.
Victoria boasts a list of greats such as Warwick Armstrong, Bill Woodfull, Bill Ponsford, Chuck Fleetwood-Smith, Hugh Trumble, Lindsay Hassett, Dean Jones, Merv Hughes, Jack Ryder, Bill Lawry, Bob Cowper, Alan Connolly and Ian Redpath.
More recently the tradition has been continued by Shane Warne, Paul Reiffel, Damien Fleming, Matthew Elliott, Brad Hodge, Andrew McDonald and emerging youngsters Peter Siddle and Clint McKay.
The winner of 27 Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup titles, including season 2008-09, the Vics will be aiming to go back-to-back and add another title to a sizable trophy cabinet.
Under the leadership of senior coach Greg Shipperd and dynamic young captain Cameron White, the Bushrangers have a young list with depth and many emerging stars.
