He started playing cricket when he was only 17 years old. In 1992 he was selected for the first test against Sri Lanka in Perth Western Australia. He played many Tests against South Africa, India, Pakistan and England. He became Captain of Australia in 1995 after Mark Waugh retied. He scored about 1,000 runs in his career.
Australia last won the Ashes in 2007 and 2013 when we beat England. He retired in 2012.He has two daughters. I wish he didn’t have to retire; he was a very good player and a very good captain too. When we think of all the players that played for Australia, like Allan Border, Dennis Lille, Jeffery Thomas and Rodney Marsh, Mark and Steve Waugh all of them were very good players in there days. All of them are retired now.
Michael Clarke is the captain now and they are doing pretty good in India. They will be playing against South Africa and India here in Australia this summer.
If we beat South Africa and India than we can beat England
in the ashes next year in England.
