Cricket World Cup History: 7 all-time World Cup records which might not be broken

#4 Consecutive World Cup wins - Australia (1999, 2003, 2007)

Dominant Australia with its third consecutive WC trophy

Different teams have dominated different eras in the history of the game. The impact from the Australian team from the late 90s until a decade into the millennium was second to none. In that period, the team went on to win three consecutive World Cups in 1999, 2003, and 2007.

Australia had a team full of match-winners in every department of the game. The likes of Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting were the batting stalwarts of the team. They also had bowlers in Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath who picked wickets regularly.

Australia's domination in the era was such that their win/loss ratio of 3.55 is way ahead of the second placed South Africa's 1.84. It was literally a one-way traffic show as they were unbeaten in 34 matches across three World Cups.
