#5 Australia, 2007

The Australian cricket team never fails to mesmerise us and they were at their lethal best in the 2007 edition also, hosted by the West Indies. Australia were the reigning champions as they had won the previous 2 editions and were looking to complete a hattrick & become the first side ever to win 3 consecutive World Cups.
Not many bets were against the Australian side as they literally possessed a world-class unit which was blessed with modern day greats in each and every department. Ricky Ponting was at the helm yet again as he looked to replicate Clive Lloyd's heroics from the 70s by becoming the second man to lead his nation in successive world cup triumphs.
The Australian fans were pretty optimistic going into this one as they had men like Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist and Glen Mcgrath in their side, something which frightened the opposition camp.
In total, the Aussies played 12 times throughout the tournament and prevailed in all as they registered yet another unbeaten campaign.
