Australia's all-time World Cup XI

The Kangaroos have undoubtedly been the most successful team in World Cup history, having won the tournament four times - in 1987, 1999, 2003 and 2007. Naturally then, every team aspired to be like them, win games like them, and play with the same spirit that the Aussies brought to their game.They boasted of some great names too, which included the greatest spinner the world has ever seen in Shane Warne, one of the game’s top batsmen in Ricky Ponting, an outstanding seam bowler, Glenn McGrath and the world’s best wicket-keeper batsman in Adam Gilchrist. Having all the talent they had in their ranks, it was really going to be tough to deny them the supremacy that they enjoyed all along.Here is Australia’s all-time World Cup XI: 

#1 Mark Waugh

The stylish opener from New South Wales featured in three WC editions from 1992 to 1999 and played 22 games. He scored 1004 runs at 52.84 in that period, that included 4 hundreds and as many fifties.

He was the kind of player who gave a steady start to the innings, and as it goes for this all-time XI side, Matthew Hayden at the other end could take care of the acceleration while he himself could just hold the fort and try & stick around for a major part of the innings.
