Cricket Australia is a team which every cricketer would feel jealous of. Such are its presence and dominance over the years over the sport. They have had batsmen and bowlers like no other team and were the best side in terms of fielding. Australia played its best cricket in the period of 1997-98 to 2010-11, when they literally bullied the mediocre teams and the below par ones at will. Its accomplishments include astounding record of five 50-over ICC World Cups (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015), two ICC Champions Trophies (2006 and 2009) and several Test and ODI, as well as T-20 Tournaments.

The players representing Australia’s Best ever Cricket team are as follows:
ADAM GILCHRIST (BAT)
The swashbuckling left-hander made his debut at the age of 28. He redefined the concept of wicket-keeping batsman. Gilchrist was an extraordinary wicket-keeper and the best in the world in the role, his high-flying moves and dives behind the wickets proved his worth as the best in this art. When it comes to batting, his tracer-bullet shots and quick-fire opening upfront is trademark of Gilchrist.
2. Matthew Hayden (Bat)
The duo of Gilchrist and Hayden is known to be the second best opening pair in the history of ODIs. This tall and powerful left-hander would play glorious shots at his will. He was patient on one hand to stick on to the middle and on the other hand he was demolisher and a run machine. Hayden was a fine catcher in the slips as well.
