The Australian cricket team is blessed with some of the best players in international cricket. There are a number of key players in Australian team who will be instrumental in winning matches in the much-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, to be held in the West Indies.
Team Australia is one of the oldest in the world of cricket, and has produced cricketing legends in profusion. Australia has been crowned World Champions three times, in 1987, 1999 and 2003. Fans will once again look up to the key players in Australian team to do the trick in Cricket World Cup 2007 as well.
Led superbly by the brilliant Ricky Ponting, Team Australia has achieved unbelievable victories and has reinforced their supremacy in world cricket time and again. Considered to be one of the best batsmen in the world, Ponting is a captain par excellence. Having been Man of the Match (he scored 140 not out) in finals of World Cup 2003, Ponting will surely be one of the key players in the Australian team for World Cup 2007 in West Indies.
Matthew Hayden has been awarded with sobriquets like Mr. Powerful, and is best known for his physical and mental strength in playing cricket. An opening batsman who has played a crucial role in many an Australian victory, Hayden is all set to set the stands on fire during the Cricket World Cup 2007 as well.
Adam Gilchrist, wicketkeeper of the Australian World Cup 2007 squad, needs no introduction. Amongst the biggest hitters of the cricket ball, Gilchrist is simply brilliant as a ‘keeper. His well-timed 50s and those unbelievable diving catches have made him a much-awed figure in international circuit.
Andrew Symonds is regarded as one of the world’s best all-rounders. A man with exceptional strength and perseverance, Symonds will be one of the key players in Australian team for World Cup 2007.
With the absence of the legendary Shane Warne, Team Australia will bank on quickie Brett Lee and the matchless Glenn McGrath to take care of the bowling department, with the latter set to retire after the World Cup 2007.
Along with a few new faces, these stalwarts will be the key players in Australian team for World Cup 2007, and will have to put in their best to help Team Australia reach the pinnacle this time too.
