Saw this pop up on Twitter its an interesting discussion who does everyone regard as our greatest ODI winning WC team.
I looked and originally went 2003 but then realised there was no SK Warne in there due to his failed drug test.
It would be hard to leave out our greatest spinner but that 99 team did lose 2 games and had a tie in the semi final.
2003 and 2007 were unbeaten and way more dominant under ponting.
I cant speak for 1987 wasnt born.
I think 2015 team falls short of the 3 peat teams 1999-2007 just too many legends in that 1999-2007 period to be usurped and we did lose a game in 2015 and didn't have a genuine spinner in the team.
I am sticking with 2003 side i think Symonds perfomances as the all rounder in ODIs over Tom Moody.
We had Brett lee bowling 160kph thunderbolts the poor old kenyans copped in that tournament.
While McGrath was strangling the opposition at the other end.
Then Andy Bichel coming on first change with his energy and valuable batting has him covering paul reiffel from 99 side.
The batting was pretty similar with Damien Martyn and Matthew Hayden replacing the waugh brothers
