On that subject, I have noticed that apparently they are starting a home and away shirt thing, does anyone else know about this?

 

[aussie1st]

Is this for all international teams?

 

[squiz]

It has been posted on Plantet Cricket a while ago that Australia revealed they are using home and away shirts

Good to see Aus starting the trend on this.
