Another team that have a knack of producing world class fast bowlers is Australia. From Jeff Thompson to Mitchel Starc right now, Australia have consistently produced pacers that have terrified batsmen for decades.

And they had one hell of a complementary new-ball attack in Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath as the former traumatized batsmen with his fiery pace and the latter became the nightmare of many due to his strict line and length.

The pair took 43 wickets in the 10 matches that they played together—the best numbers among any other combination in the tournament. It is of no wonder, then, that this Australian team won the 2003 World Cup without losing a single game.
