| RIZWAN AZMATAustralian Cricket Greatest Ever Team.
As Australians we love our cricket and our cricketing heroes, Don Bradman, Shane Warne, Dennis Lillee just to mention a few.If you want to start a rowdy and spirited discussion with an Aussie, try coming up with the greatest Australian Cricket Team of all time.....Where do you start?
The Sydney Morning Herald in the year 2000 ran a readers poll which came up with a pretty good list and then the website cricinfo updated that list in 2009. So, even though a lot will disagree, here's what a majority of SMH readers and 'cricinfo' readers think is Australia's Greatest Ever Cricket team |
| cool omarSo far, 20 teams have competed in the Cricket World Cup at least once (excluding qualifying tournaments). Of these, seven teams have taken part in every competition and only five have won. India are the current champions and previously won in 1983. The West Indies won the first two, Australia won four (1987, 1999, 2003 and 2007), Sri Lanka and Pakistan won one each. The West Indies and Australia are also the only nations to have won consecutive titles (West Indies: 1975 and 1979; Australia: 1999, 2003 and 2007). Australia have also notably featured in 6 finals of the total 9 World Cups, including the last four in a row. England is the only country to have reached the final without ever winning it, having been runners-up three times. The furthest a non-Test playing nation has ever reached is the semi-finals, achieved by Kenya in the 2003 tournament. |
