Australian Cricket team has been dominating the cricket world from quite a long time. The recent ashes tour has proved that the in the cricketing world Australian is the strongest team. However, Australian cricket is about to hit a new phrase of retirement for many of its key players.

There is not doubt that Australia's recent dominance could be attributed to two players ? Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. They have taken over 1000 test wickets. They also dominate the sector of bowling. They are amazing at fast blowing as well as spinner stats. Both have a mind-blowing strike rate and a low average. Having Richard Hadlee is considered to be trump card by most of the world team; Australia had a luxury of two world class players. Both had a capability to turn and win the game themselves.

Further proof of this was England's previous success; it was achieved only when Glen McGrath was not in the team. This is actually a worry to Australian cricket; anyhow they still maintain great batmen like Ricky Ponting the worry is that no bowler would be able to fill the gap. Brett Lee had been playing in the team for many years now and it is again stated that he not the match winning bowler. Australia have try to blood up new players and even though many players had blinding starts - like Michael Clarke they have yet to prove they could still produce great results year after year.

Australia also needs to face the retirement of many other players Damien Martin and Justin Langer as well as others that can't be far off. The rest of the world might finally have a chance to take their revenge.
