This is one of the oldest rivalries in the history of cricket. Both these nations have had strong cricketing sides that have dominated the game in their eras. The West Indian unit of the late 70s and the Australian side of the early 2000s probably are the most powerful teams of all time. They asserted their supremacy on the game unlike any other team ever has.

Predictably, the tussle between the two sides has seen incredible cricket over the years. The ascendency has swung from one side to the other depending on the era of their match-ups.

The incredible tie in the first match of the 1960-61 series between Australia and West Indies probably is one of the most thrilling finishes in the history of Test cricket.

West Indies have degenerated over the years and have now lost the powerful hold they had on the game. Australia, on the other hand, is still one of the most venerated cricketing nations in the world today. Consequently, the Kangaroos possess the higher number of wins in this tie and have now galloped ahead of their age-old rivals.
