Australia Cricket Team
Creation
and Beginnings (1868-1880)
The first Australian team to tour abroad was a selection composed entirely of Aboriginal players in 1886. The team won 14 of the 47 games they played for 5 months.
In 1877, a team of English players led by James Lillywhite toured in the southern hemisphere. On March 15th began a match on the Melbourne Cricket Ground organized under the name of All England vs A Combined New South Wales and Victoria XI. The Australian team was in fact made up of players from New South Wales and Victoria. This match went down in history as the first cricket match.

Postwar
On
the 17th of
December 1920 started “the Ashes”. This was the first series of
cricket competition after WWI. The Australian team , led by captain
Warwick Armstrong and Charlie Macartney, was the first to win all the
games in this series, a performance that was to be reissued only in
2006-2007 . This team even connected a record series of eight
consecutive wins in the competition , winning the first three games
of the next series, played on the English soil in 1921 , again with
Armstrong at its head. The British put an end to the domination of
the Australian competition taking their revenge 1-0 in 1926 and
detained the title in 1928-1929 by crushing Australia 4-1
.
Reconstruction (1987-1995)
Reconstruction (1987-1995)
In
1987, the World Cup was held for the first time outside of England,
in India. In 1986, the Australian Cricket Board tried to stem the bad
run of results in the recent years and appointed Bob Simpson as
coach and built a team around captain Allan Border. Led by Border,
they managed to beat England in the final of the World Cup in 1987
Australia also won the Ashes in 1989 and never gave up the trophy for sixteen years.

Michael Clarke, captain from 2011.
Between
early 2007 and early 2009, many of the most experienced Australian
team players took their international retirement. In October 2008,
the selection was defeated in a series of test matches for the first
time since the 2005 Ashes. They were beaten in four games, 2-0 by
India. During the 2008-2009 season , Australians lost their first
series of test matches at home in 16 years. However, they took their
revenge a few months later, in South Africa , reversing the
score.
During the 2011 World Cup , Pakistan ended a series of 34 games without defeat for Australia in the competition , which began in 1999. The defeat in the Ashes of 2010-2011 led Cricket Australia to commission a report on the state of cricket in Australia and solutions to implement and find success. Published in August 2011, it led to a restructuring of the coaching staff and selection committee for the national team. Between 2006 and 2011 , it has offered their first game to a large number of players.

Progress
A
cricket match is played between two teams but unlike other sports
such as football or rugby, each team plays one after another. At the
beginning of the match, the teams draw lots and the one that wins the
toss selected " batter " or " run ".
The team that scores bat call here run. The aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible : the team that wins the most number of runs wins the match.
The team that does not beat, throws and catches. That is to say that this is one of the players of the opposing team who will throw the ball with the greatest impact obviously, to make hits difficult. The teammates of the thrower are appointed hunters ( fielders ) and are distributed all over the field to get the ball faster.

Cricket
Ground : The place consists in a space shot, pitch and a "field"
(field) . This space shot place is in the middle of a wicket with 3
sticks on either side, vertically planted in the ground and on which
there are two pieces of wood. The objective of the launcher is to
drop the 2 pieces in balance ... The drummer has the duty to protect
his wicket from being hit by the ball
Wicket
Cricket: To score a run, the batsman must
throw the ball as far as possible in order to have time to run and
touch the line opposite the wicket before the ball comes back (about
20m). Every time he touches the line, he will score a run for his
team. So the farther the ball is, the more points he ca score: each
round trip equals one run. In addition, if the ball is strong and
powerful enough and no collector can find it, 4 runs are scored. This
is called a “boundary”. If the ball is even more powerful and it
comes directly from the ground without touching it (grandstand), 6
runs are scored by the team bat player. This is the most beautiful
point a bat player can do.
To
stop the progression of the other team, the thrower's team has
several alternatives:
- Either the pitcher breaks the wicket ( bat player therefore misses its mission to protect ) .
- A collector catches the ball in flight, he catches it without it touching the ground. This is called a “caught”.
- the bat player protects his wicket with his body instead of doing it with his bat. This is very common when the batsman misses the ball and it hits a leg ... This fault is called “Leg before wicket” or LBW .
-Either the ball is picked up quickly enough for it to come back very quickly at the shooting range and the launcher himself grabs the ball in his hand and hits the wicket before the batsman has returned behind the line. This is called a “Run out” .
In all these cases, the bat player is removed and it is equivalent to a “wicket fall”. However, each team is allowed 10 wickets , so if the 10 wickets fall, the team that beats the team stops playing and the number of runs + 1 will be the goal for the opposing team to win the match.

There are two batsmen in the same team on the field ( active and inactive) arranged on either side of the shooting area. When the ball is batted , the two batsmen run at the same time so that even if there is a run scored ( a simple way trip ) , there is always a bat player for the batter ball ( inactive becomes active and vice versa).
Each pitcher has the right to launch more than 10 overs (60 balls) , and it is the Captain of the team who decides who should start. He plays the role of coach .
