Australian Cricket
Alongside England, the Australian Cricket team is the equal oldest Cricketing nation in the world, having its Test status granted in 1877. Since their inception, Australia have dominated in most forms of international competition, winning 46.66 percent of its Test matches. Australia have also won four One Day Cricket World Cups, a three in eight years between 1999 and 2007. The Twenty20 World Cup is the only international competition that has eluded Australia. The Australian Cricket team’s most eagerly anticipated series is ‘The Ashes’ against England – Cricket’s most illustrious Test series.

National selectors mustn’t make the same mistake again with Shaun Marsh. The 28 year-old left-hander has had two vastly different Test “careers”. The first against Sri Lanka with an outstanding 141 on debut, followed by 81, and 18, then 44 and a duck against South Africa. Average 56.80. Then six digs against India – 0, [...]
