Sportscover would like to congratulate all winners of the 2007 Australian Sport Awards and in particular the Australian Cricket Team as the winners of the Sportscover International Team of the Year and Kurt Fearnley who won the Sportscover Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability.

The Australian Sport Awards are the only awards in Australia to recognise achievements across all sports in all areas of the sporting sector.

The Australian Cricket Team has taken out the Sportscover International Team of the Year as part of the 2007 Australian Sport Awards. With the team's win against New Zealand in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy in December, they currently hold every international title on offer, apart from the Twenty20 World Cup. After winning - for the first time - the ICC Champions Trophy in 2006 and regaining The Ashes in the summer of 2006-07 the Australian team set their sights on the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. Their record-breaking fourth World Cup win cemented their place as the world's best team.

They will be exciting to watch as they are all aggressive attacking riders who make racing happen.
Whilst they are all proven winners they are also all team players and understand how to support one another during races so team wins are high on the agenda.
