Winning a series (at home) against Australia sees all England’s cricketers sip from the ‘fountain of honour’.

In 2006/07, Australia looks forward to warmly receiving

  • Michael Vaughan OBE
  • Duncan Fletcher OBE
  • Ian Bell MBE
  • Paul Collingwood MBE
  • Andrew Flintoff MBE
  • Ashley Giles MBE
  • Stephen Harmison MBE
  • Matthew Hoggard MBE
  • Geraint Jones MBE
  • Simon Jones MBE
  • Kevin Pietersen MBE
  • Andrew Strauss MBE
  • Marcus Trescothick MBE

Something for fans to look forward to:

  • Ian Bell improving on his 17.10 batting average.
  • Kevin Pieterson taking his first catch.
  • Geraint Jones still keeping wicket.

The motto of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is For God and the Empire. It is the most junior of the British orders of chivalry and has more members than any other.
