Australian rules football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Australian football, which is also known as Australian rules football, or less formally as "Aussie rules" or "footy" is a code of football which originated in Melbourne, Australia. Australian football is not yet large enough internationally for a FIFA-style governing body, so the AFL is primarily responsible for funding and governance and provides around A$500,000 annually for international development, especially junior programs. Australian football is the most highly attended spectator sport in Australia: government figures show that more than 2.5 million people (16.8% of the population) attended games in 1999 [1]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Australian_rules_football   (3677 words)

Australian cricket team in England in 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Australian captain Ricky Ponting brought on part-time spinner Michael Clarke to bowl the eleventh over, and got immediate success, when Pietersen launched him to Matthew Hayden on the fifth ball, but England were still 101 for 3 after eleven overs. The Australian bowlers were smashed to all corners on the first day as, for the first time in their 493-Test history, Australia conceded more than 400 runs in a first day of Test cricket. Australian captain Ricky Ponting opted for batting practice, and the Australians made 168 for 2 before stumps, Ponting scoring an unbeaten 59 while Michael Clarke, who was promoted to opener, also repaired a first-innings failure, making 59 off 55 balls before being run out. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Australian_cricket_team_in_England_in_2005   (9492 words)

Department of Health - Asian Tsunami Based on these discussions, and the logistical difficulty of moving the medical team and their tons of equipment around the 90,000 square kilometer region on small boats, the team was divided into three sub-teams to visit four atolls: Raa and Shaviyani in the North; and Thaa and Gaafu Alifu in the South. The West Australian medical relief team was activated after advice from the Australian Agency for International Development (AUSAID) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) at the Australian Health Disaster Management Policy Committee (AHDMPC) meeting at 1800 EST on 28 December 2004. Team member, Terry Jongen, Clinical Nurse Specialist from the Emergency Department at Royal Perth Hospital, stated that while the team was able to achieve so much, they still walked away feeling they could have done so much more, and with a terrible feeling of guilt of leaving those behind. www.health.wa.gov.au /tsunami   (1177 words)

Crisis plan to get athletes home - Aussie Update - The Australian team is expected to win about 45-50 medals and finish fifth in the medal tally. Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates said the AOC's reserves of more than $100 million - built up from Sydney Olympics reserves - meant there was no need for special insurance to cover a security nightmare, but noted that Qantas had pledged to have planes at the ready to evacuate any team members if required. Four security officials, one Greek liaison officer, and four Australian Federal Police and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials will be part of the official Australian team - which is the third largest at the Games behind that of the United States and hosts Greece. www.smh.com.au /olympics/articles/2004/07/20/1090089159852.html   (807 words)

Team USA - Australian Trip Team USA struggled somewhat to find a second standing block cutter who would be effective in the hard Australian wood and eventually alternated between two axemen who were originally selected to the team for their prowess as sawyers. Slingerland, teamed with Matt Bush, has been part of the number one ranked two man team in the US over the past several years; while Ryan, teamed with Mike Forrester, has been setting records in all the hard wood contests on the west coast. Mike, teamed with Ryan Hatfield, is part of one of the best two man sawing teams in the country, but he is also a top one man sawyer and an accomplished standing block cutter. www.usaxemen.com /usaa/australia/team01.shtml   (1380 words)

rediff.com: cricket channel - Lessons for Corporations from the Australian cricket team When the Indian team returned from their disastrous tour of Australia in 1999/2000, some of the senior players commented that, in terms of training methods and facilities, Australian cricket was 20 years ahead of Indian cricket. The watershed event in recent Australian cricketing history was probably the appointment of Allan Border as captain in 1984. While it can be argued that the team was winning under Taylor and thus there was no reason to drop him, it also indicates that this ‘policy’ is one more bit of hocus pocus for public consumption or, if you prefer, a bit of folklore about Australian cricket. in.rediff.com /cricket/2002/jan/08spec1.htm   (3110 words)

Warne's drug test taints team's award - theage.com.au The teams that lost out to the cricketers were the world record-breaking Australian cycling pursuit team and the Australian Winter Paralympic squad.

Guardian Unlimited Sport Columnists Frank Keating: Australian cricket team blown out of all proportion It is preposterous to claim this Australian cricket team of 2001 is already the best there has ever been, ignoring the fact that no "true great" side would have allowed this week's aberration against Hampshire to happen. When the poppycock was put to Steve Waugh that his team already bore comparison with the most resplendent in history's cricket pantheon, the reverent tone of his answer - "We would be highly competitive against any side which has ever played the game" - made you think he actually believes it himself. And not only the finest and best-balanced Test cricket team ever - some are proposing it as the most accomplished bunch ever to take the field in any team sport. sport.guardian.co.uk /columnists/story/0,10260,529488,00.html   (958 words)

Australian Cricket Team He took over the captaincy of the Australian one-day team in 1997-98 and then of the Test team upon Mark Taylor's retirement in early 1999, and was in command when Australia won its second World Cup later that year. From his cricketing origins in the western suburbs of Melbourne until the late 1990s, Miller's career was primarily built on his reputation as a strongly built right-arm paceman who could move the ball both ways (mostly off the wicket rather than through the air) and who had the capacity to vary his pace cleverly. Over recent years, Ponting's cricket career has nevertheless stalled to some extent due to his growing inability to meet deliveries just outside the line of off stump with a fully straight bat and the development of some weaknesses in his technique against high quality spin bowling. www.rfprobes.com.au /cricket/ausieplyr.htm   (3319 words)

Australian Cricket team - Uncyclopedia Anybody granted a position into the Australian Cricket team is automatically given power beyond belief, bestowed upon them by Australia's Prime minister Hon. Any decent upstanding Australian male can strive to become a member of the Australian Cricket team but failure spells certain death.

Aboriginies - the first Australian cricket team This lack of representation at the highest level is disappointing considering that the first Australian cricket team to tour England was comprised solely of Aborigines and performed so admirably, that they won world wide accolades. This is probably because cricket's establishment has traditionally been unwelcoming to anyone who didn't perceive England as the hall marks of respectable society. For its part, cricket is promoting reconciliation matches between players of Aboriginal descent and a team chosen by the Australian Prime Minister. www.convictcreations.com /football/aborigines.htm   (951 words)

Aboriginies - the first Australian cricket team The Australian public called for him to be selected for a test against South Africa but like his predecessors, an umpire no-balled him for throwing. This lack of representation at the highest level is disappointing considering that the first Australian cricket team to tour England was comprised solely of Aborigines and performed so admirably, that they won world wide accolades. Unfortunately, an umpire judged that he was throwing and his place in the national team never eventuated. www.convictcreations.com /football/aborigines.htm   (951 words)

tBlog - Australian Cricket Team The Australian Cricket Team has been copping a fair bit of flak recently - poor sports, arrogant, etc. What are my thoughts on all of this? I would tend to agree with those critics who say the Australian team is arrogant and that members of the team are probably full of themselves. There is little doubt that the Australian cricket team is the best in the world - but some healthy perspective and a dose of reality for the players wouldn't go astray. bushman.tblog.com /post/1969860792   (463 words)
