Wednesday, January 14 2004
Australia Post hits a six with Cricket Stamps.
Australia Post is celebrating the success of the Australian cricket team by producing a Souvenir Stamp sheet, featuring the team in action and highlights from great Australian cricket victories.
The stamp sheet features moments including the Australian team celebrating their recent one-day series win against the West Indies and highlights from 2003's Top End Tour. The sheet features Cricket Australia's new corporate branding on stamp tabs and includes ten x 50c Australian stamps.
According to Australia Post spokesperson Mr Phillip Money, Australia Post sees the sheet as a fitting tribute to the success of Australia's cricketers.
Australia Post is delighted to celebrate the success of the Australian Cricket team and encourage the exposure of the new cricket brand, Mr Money said.
The souvenir stamps make a fantastic collectable for Australian sporting fans, and will also be available to overseas cricket fans via mail order on the Internet.
The Australian cricket team has become one of the most successful sides in the history of the game. Australia Post recognises not only this success, but the team's commitment to playing in a manner that upholds the tradition, integrity and spirit of cricket, said Mr Money.
The stamp sheet is on sale now at participating Australia Post outlets and through the Australian Philatelic Bureau. To reach the bureau phone 1800 331 794, or visit www.auspost.com.au/stamps.
