The ICC Cricket World Cup, one of the world’s most viewed sporting events, is played once in every four years.
Today, it has become one of the world’s biggest and most admired sporting events. About 2.2 billion television viewers from around the world had tuned in during March and April, 2007.
It is evident from the history of the ICC Cricket World Cup that the Australian Cricket team is the best team. No doubt, it has been dominating the cricket world from a long time.
However, many of the key players in this team are going to get retired soon. Now, the question arises whether the Australian cricket team will continue to be the best or not and if yes, then, for how long?
The credit for Australia’s recent dominance goes to two players - Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. These players are great bowlers. Their fast blowing as well as spinner stats is worth watching.
Both these players have a mind-blowing strike rate. These two talented bowlers had the power to win the game themselves.
Their importance in the Australian team is evident from England’s previous success in absence of Glen McGrath.
However, the Australian team still has great batmen like Ricky Ponting. Brett lee is also a very talented player but cannot substitute McGrath and Warne.
Moreover, the Australian Cricket team is yet to face the retirement of many other key players like Damien Martin and Justin Langer.
So, it is time for the rest of the teams to get ready and take advantage of the situation. Now, all the other teams have a golden opportunity to prove themselves by defeating the Australian team.
