History

Australian cricket began a reign of dominance during the 1990s after their victory against West Indies during their 1995 tour to Australia.
Australian success was heralded as heralding a new era for cricket, and Australia went on to dominate international cricket throughout the 1990s, winning an unofficial Test “world championship” between 1994-95, a World Cup victory in 1999, and finally, Ashes wins in 2005 – during this period being named “the greatest side ever seen”.

In later decades there was chaos brought about by TV mogul Kerry Packer’s breakaway league which led to turmoil which resulted in revolutionising international cricket and player remuneration changes that revolutionised international cricket and player remuneration reform.
Australian cricketers have united under Trevor Bayliss and Captain Steve Smith as one team, currently undefeated in ODIs and winners of both World Cups in 1999 and 2007 — making them favorites to do it again in 2023 in India. Test matches saw Australia take home both Ashes trophies.
