Top 5 ODI finishers from Australia

#3 Steve Waugh

He was often regarded as the 'Iceman' for his ability to hold his nerves when games got close and throughout the course of his 16-year career (1986-2002) as Australia's number 5 or 6, Steve Waugh remained one of the side's most important batsmen.

He proved himself as the finisher for Australia in the 1987 World Cup and then went on to play one of the greatest innings at 5 or 6 in 1999 when he made that 120 not out against South Africa in the 1999 World Cup to take Australia into the semi-final.

Steve Waugh was a batsman who knew exactly what was needed in order to win a game and he could do that with dogged resistance. He remains Australia's highest run scorer in those positions with an aggregate of 5540 runs at an average of 34.62 and a strike rate of 77.05.

That strike rate was far more effective in the days when 250 used to be a match-winning score and throughout his career, he made sure that Australia were in the hunt for as long as possible.
