Cricket season review
The 2006–07 Australian cricket season is made up of three domestic competitions for the men; the first-class Pura Cup , the List A Ford Ranger One Day Cup and the Twenty20 competition KFC Twenty20 Big Bash . The women compete in the Women's National Cricket League , although Tasmania does not have a first-class women's team. The season started on 11 October 2006 with a domestic Ford Ranger One Day Cup match between Queensland and Tasmania , and culminated with the World Cup Final between Australia and Sri Lanka on 28 April 2007.
The international season started with the Champions Trophy in October and November, followed by the 5-Test match Ashes series and a single Twenty20 match against England until early January. The English tour was followed by the 2006–07 Commonwealth Bank Series , an ODI triangular series against England and New Zealand which lasted until mid February. Later in the summer, Australia toured New Zealand , playing for the 2006–07 Chappell–Hadlee Trophy , and competed in the World Cup in March and April.
