Down Under Cricket Team Remains on Top
By: Sports Editor Jordie Clark ‘19
The National Australian Men’s Tennis team is one of the most successful teams in history as of 2018. Their win rate is 47.05 percent and have had some of the greatest athletes in Australian history.
Compared to the amount of games they’ve played, their ability to consistently dominate throughout the years is remarkable. They have won the world cup a record five times in total: 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015.
Not just their championship wins, but their World Cup appearances keep in the top five best teams in the Cricket conference. They are currently ranked third in the ICC T201 Championship, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Their most recent success was on January 12, where they beat India at the Sydney Cricket Ground by 34 runs, which made their one thousandth win in international cricket. They are making their way to the top to become the number one team in international cricket, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them slide their way up there in the years to come.
