The Australia national cricket team represents Australia in international Test, One Day International and Twenty20 cricket, administered by Cricket Australia, and the most successful national team in the sport's history by most measures, having won a record number of ICC Cricket World Cup titles and holding, across various eras, the longest sustained periods of Test match dominance of any national side. Playing in baggy green Test caps and yellow-and-green limited-overs kits, the team has fielded many of cricket's greatest players, including Donald Bradman, whose career Test batting average of 99.94 remains statistically unmatched in the sport's history, and Shane Warne, one of the leading wicket-takers in Test cricket.
