	ICC rewards Cricket Australia
		This is the second consecutive year in which Australia have benefited from their dominance of both the Test and ODI tables on the April cut-off date, April 1, 2006.
		Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland paid tribute to the performance of the Australian team and the administrative bodies that support the players off the field.
		Australia's dominance of both Test and ODI cricket is marginally less convincing that it was 12 months ago -- their Test ranking is one point lower than in 2005 and their ODI ranking has dropped eight points over the year -- but they still retain a comfortable cushion in both the tables.

		Australia went into day five with the goal of bowling England out during the day- not to win the Test, just to let England know that they weren’t to be dominated so easily.
		Australia’s batsmen are good at concentrating as well, and if England back themselves to score 450, Australia’s game-plan will be to first get something like that themselves, then, if possible, to build a first innings lead and try to erase the worry of a fourth innings chase.
		But even more in their favour is the fact that Australia’s cricketers are dangerously close to breaching their government’s own zero-tolerance policy (announced over the public address system before each day’s play) forbidding anyone from holding up anyone else to ridicule, contempt or humiliation.

		Although Cricket Australia’s indigenous programs are inching towards the 21st century, there are still very few playing first-class cricket and no one likely to make an imminent breakthrough to the Australian side.
		While none of their matches on the 1868 were of first-class status, Cricket Australia took the idea on board, eventually coming up with the idea of allocating player numbers and special caps as recognition of their place of full Australian representatives.
