#3 Glenn McGrath and Damien Fleming

Glenn McGrath and Damien Fleming during the 1999 World Cup.

Damien Fleming could be, in a way, termed as somewhat underrated. But there is little doubt about his abilities as a bowler as he has won Australia games numerous times. Bowling under the shadow of Glenn McGrath meant that he never really got the praise that he deserved.

Nonetheless, he formed a devastating partnership with McGrath that helped Australia win the World Cup in 1999—the first of the amazing hat-trick of World Cups.

In the 10 games that they played together, they got an impressive 32 wickets. They shared the new ball and gave Shane Warne the perfect platform to weave his magic.
