The newly-crowned Cricket World Cup champions went on parade showing off their 2015 ICC World Cup before the Australian cricket fans in Melbourne on Monday, March 30 following their win over neighbouring New Zealand the previous night at the MCG.

The Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, who was present at the celebration, called the cricketers “the pride of the nation” as he thanked them for the great pleasure they have given the nation and congratulated the team on the World Cup win.
