Australian Domestic Limited-overs Cricket Tournament
The Australian domestic one-day cricket tournament, currently known as the Ryobi One-Day Cup is the premier domestic limited-overs cricket competition in Australia. The competition includes the six first-class cricket teams in Australia, as well as formerly including the Canberra Comets and the New Zealand national cricket team. First played in the 1969–70 season, the competition has run since then under a variety of different names and sponsors.
Formerly played over 50 overs, for the 2010–11 season the competition switched to a new format featuring 45 over matches with 12 man teams, with split innings of 20 and 25 overs.

Famous quotes containing the words australian, domestic and/or cricket:
“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“Let me obtain forgiveness of thee, Samson,
Afford me place to shew what recompence
Towards thee I intend for what I have misdone,
Misguided; only what remains past cure
Bear not too sensibly, nor still insist
To afflict thy self in vain: though sight be lost,
Life yet hath many solaces, enjoy’d
Where other senses want not their delights
At home in leisure and domestic ease,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
