Both England and Australia have produced some special limited-overs players down the years, but who makes our England-Australia Cricket World Cup legends XI?
Old enemies with vastly contrasting Cricket World Cup fortunes, Australia’s four World Cup wins rightly earns them the majority of the places in this XI. England still await that maiden World Cup victory but have had individuals who’ve provided special moments during the tournament, often in clashes with their historic rivals.
Find out who made our XI below.
1. Adam Gilchrist (Australia)
McGrath retired from ODI cricket after the 2007 tournament with a wicket from his final delivery. A veteran of four tournaments, not once did Australia fail to make the final with the fast bowler in their side. A true legend of the tournament, in addition to being the leading wicket-taker in World Cup history McGrath also holds the record for the most wickets in a single tournament, best bowling figures and most maiden overs.
71 CWC wickets @18.19, 1 five-for
