Part - 01
Still a magical bond is there between yellow jersey and champion. In football Brazil is the King and they wore Yellow, In IPL Chennai Super is the most successful team and they are yellow army. When coming to cricket the same Yellow Jersey ruling the cricket world more than three decades. And they were called as "The Kangaroos" Australian Cricket Team. May be the first two world cup won by West Indies. But till now Aussie won five world cups including an Hat-trick from 1999 to 2007.
Aussie's can proudly say that they were the first team who played one day match. Yes, before 1971 only test matches are there. A 5 match test series between England and Australia at Australia was affected by rain. At last day weather allowed them to play. Then cricket board doesn't wants to cheat their fans and converted that test match to a one day with 60 overs and 8 balls per over. Many players from many countries played cricket still Don Bradman was the godfather of cricket.

Australia XI for world cup 2019:
After winning 2015 world cup Australia lost their many key players. They were in the situation like they have to build a ferocious team again as like ruled between 1990 to 2010. They have seen lot of downs in this 4 years. Steve smith and David Warner both are the only hope for the team. Many young players with less experience came to squad, they doesnt know how to win a game. Once Australia were like keeping a key player like Gillespie in bench. But now their situation is completely contrast. Both Smith and Warner undergone a ban for a year at 2018 start. Australia become a amateur team like non test playing country. Finally they back to a bit form exactly before world cup by winning Indian team in India. Definitely it will give big hope for them. In addition to that 1 year ban for Smith and Warner end now. So with gaining some energy they are going to play this World cup.
Australia announced a 15 member team under the captaincy of Aaron Finch. They have 5 proper Batsmen, 1 wicket Keeper, 3 All-rounders, 2 Spinners and 4 fast bowlers. Aaron Finch will be the captain of the team and Alex Carrey will be the wicket keeper.
In next post we will discuss about the squad and their positive, negative side. And about few players who can be better if they were present in the squad.
