	Australian cricket team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian cricket team is today regarded as one of the leading international teams in world cricket, having been the unquestionably dominant team for much of the previous decade.
		Australia had an interesting tour of England in 1912 in which there were no Test matches but Australia played perhaps all of the county sides.
		Australia needed to win the fifth and final test at The Oval to retain the Ashes but were hampered by bad weather, a strong England bowling performance on the fourth day and fine England rearguard batting (led by Kevin Pietersen) on the final day before the match ended in a draw.

	Australia A cricket team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australia A cricket team is a national cricket team representing Australia, and is the "second tier" of international Australian cricket below the full Australian cricket team.
		The strength of Australian cricket has meant that the A team has played against full Test sides more often than their equivalent A teams from other nations (as of 2005).
		Arguably, Australia A are unique amongs A teams in that they played in an official one-day international series.

	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.
		Never-the-less, the fact that the significance of his genetics are being exagerated demonstrates the enthusiasm that cricketing officials now have for building upon the fl foundations that their predecessors have spent 100 years trying to destroy.

		If the leaders of West Indies cricket do not wish to ask Clive Lloyd how he took his team out of a bad slump and built it into one of the greatest teams in the history of sport, they can look at the Australian recovery program in the late eighties and early nineties.
