Australia Cricket Team Best Bowler

The Australian cricket team is the national men's cricket team of Australia. It is the joint oldest team in Test cricket, having played in the first Test match in 1877 (defeating England by 45 runs).
As of 20 January 2010, the Australian team has played 718 Test matches, winning 51.87%, losing 20.87% and drawing 26.98% of its games. It has a winning record against every other Test nation. The Australian national cricket team has also led the ICC Test Championship table for the majority of the time since the creation of the ICC Test table system in January 2001. The South Africans did lead this table for a brief period from January to May 2003, before Australia resumed the first position on the table. Australia has since dropped down to fifth in the Test rankings (as of 24 November 2010).
Australia have made six World Cup final appearances and have won the World Cup four times in total; 1987 Cricket World Cup, 1999 Cricket World Cup, 2003 Cricket World Cup & 2007 Cricket World Cup. Australia have also won the ICC Champions Trophy twice - in 2006 and in 2009 - making them the first and the only team to become back to back winners in the Champions Trophy tournaments. Australia also have been the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup champions in 1988, 2002 and 2010. Australia were runners-up in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2010 (which was won by England).
As of 28 April 2007 they are undefeated in 29 consecutive World Cup matches. They have led the ICC One-Day International Championship table from its inception through to 18 February 2007, and then again from 7 April 2007 until 30 January 2009.In 2002, they were named World Team of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards in recognition of their world record sequence of Test match victories.

England Cricket Team

England, the birthplace of cricket, has not won any event of World Cup Cricket. They reached the final for three times in the World Cup Cricket but could not win the trophy. The last time they went to the final was in 1992. Since then, they could not do well in the last three world cup tournaments.

Now, another World Cup is knocking at the door and England declared their 15 member team for the world cup recently. To me, the squad seems to be balanced as they have some young and experienced players in the squad. The only surprise inclusion is Ravi Bopara, who has also played in the under 19 world cup cricket previously. Ravi plays for Essex in County Cricket. This batsmen come bowler has done well in domestic cricket and that is why, he has been named for the English World Cup team.
The England World Cup Team is:

Michael Vaughan (capt), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Paul Collingwood, Jamie Dalrymple, Andrew Flintoff, Ed Joyce, Jon Lewis, Sajid Mahmood, Paul Nixon, Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen, Liam Plunkett, Andrew Strauss.

The Ashes Cricket

The Ashes Years" series continues on Tuesday from 2100 BST, with the emphasis moving from 1981 to England's victories in 1985 and Down Under in 1986/87.

You may have read how "Botham's Ashes" was the series that converted me from being a casual cricket fan into a cricket obsessive - but, to be honest, for me it is the summer of 1985 for which I have the fondest memories.

In lots of ways 1985 was my favorite year. In the charts we had the Water boys' "Whole of the Moon", "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.

At the cinema, it was the summer when Michael J Fox reigned with "Back to the Future" and "Teen Wolf".
