They have won Australian sporting team of the year several times & individual players have been named in the order of Australia awards. We do not have the British awards system now, an don’t hand out honours willy-nilly as the Queen did when she gave the 2005 Ashes team OBEs. That was the most ridiculous award ever made I think, in light of the teams performance in the last 20 years. We are more cautious when handing out awards.

When England had won that 2005 ashes series, it was celebrated by the English public so much because it was the first time 20 or so years. It was a great achievement by English cricket to beat the world champions. It was a huge upset so thats why it was celebrated so much. Also you have to keep in mind that England don’t win major awards in sports (no offence) so thats why they cheer for anything.

No, I dont know of any Australian honours made (or offered) to Australian cricketers in recent years. The only exceptions I know of is in the case of some retiring cricketers of high stature (such as Steve Waugh) who may have received honours sometime after retiring.

You can checvk it out for yourself at

Have fun
