With the start of the Cricket World Cup 07, I thought it suit to make a page of a sport/hobby I love. Cricket has been played since the 16th century, although the offical history of international test cricket began in 1877. During this time, the game developed from its origins in England into a game which is now played professionally in most of the Commonwealth of Nations. The first Cricket World Cup contest was played in England in 1975, and currently, the 2007 World Cup is being played in the West Indies.

The Australian team this year has been plaqued with doubts and misfourtunes. Injuries to key players and six consectuive losses in the build up before the World Cup has made many question their ability to make the finals. Despite a number of set backs, the Australian 2007 squad, has more than enough ability to be the World Cup Champions for the third time in a row and will bring home the prised CWC Trophy home, picture below.
