Aussie players strip for calendar

Aussie players strip for calendar

Twelve Australian cricket team members are all set to sizzle in 2010's calendar.

Nathan Bracken, Callum Ferguson, Brett Geeves, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Graham Manou, Tim Paine, Shaun Tait and Shane Watson are all participating as part of Cricket Australia's Cricket Cares initiative.

Each of the ‘Men of Cricket' gave their time in aid of the McGrath Foundation, with all proceeds from the calendar contributing towards the placement of McGrath Breast Care Nurses nationally and increasing breast cancer awareness among younger women in Australia.

Last summer, 3 mobile was bowled over by the success of the inaugural calendar which became hot property and helped 3 mobile and Cricket Australia raise $50,000 for the McGrath Foundation through sales of the calendar alone.

Commenting on the calendar, Glenn McGrath, Co-Founder and Chairman for the McGrath Foundation and Australian cricket legend, said he continued to be impressed by the guys' willingness to get involved with the project.

"There's no doubt that when you're travelling as a team there is an amazing sense of family among the guys but I'm blown away that everyone continues to offer so much support to the McGrath Foundation.

"Yet again this year everyone at the McGrath Foundation is really impressed by the boy's physique. No doubt Watto wouldn't have been shy in putting his name on the list but I'm super impressed Kato backed up again. He was certainly popular with the girls last year!" said Glenn.

Internationally renowned celebrity photographer Simon Upton said he was impressed by the players' relaxed attitudes at the photo shoot.

"The guys definitely aren't camera shy! They were right into the spirit of the calendar, really relaxed and comfortable in front of the lens. We had a lot of great pictures to choose from."
