– per WP:COMMONNAME. The use of these titles is an example of severe recentism. These names are an attempt to force nicknames onto the general public. Both major cricket resources (Cricinfo and CricketArchive) use "Western Australia" as opposed to "Western Warriors". Most other media use just the name of the state. This usage is consistent with all other established cricketing teams (excluding the obvious IPL and BBL teams). For example, Sussex County Cricket Club instead of Sussex Sharks. Note: I have not included the ACT (Canberra) Comets, as the team was and is commonly known under this name. Ignorant Armies ? ! 16:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
