Details

The Australia Team of the Century was selected in 2000 to celebrate the country's cricketing achievements over the previous 100 years. The team, chosen by a panel of experts, includes some of the greatest names in Australian cricket history. Here's the 11-player lineup:

  1. Sir Donald Bradman (captain) - Arguably the greatest batsman in cricket history, Bradman’s record-breaking career average of 99.94 is unparalleled.

  2. Bill Ponsford - A powerful opening batsman, Ponsford was Bradman’s long-time partner and a prolific run-scorer for Australia.

  3. Jack Fingleton - A reliable opener and a key part of the 1930s Australian team, known for his solid technique and consistency.

  4. Neil Harvey - One of Australia's most elegant batsmen, Harvey was a consistent performer throughout the 1940s and 50s, particularly on the subcontinent.

  5. Greg Chappell - Known for his stylish batting, Chappell was a key player in Australia’s dominance in the 1970s and 80s. He captained the team with distinction.

  6. Allan Border - A gritty and determined left-handed batsman, Border was the backbone of Australian cricket through the 1980s and early 90s. He also captained Australia to their first World Cup win in 1987.

  7. Adam Gilchrist (wk) - Revolutionized the wicketkeeping role, with his aggressive batting at No. 7 becoming a game-changing factor in modern cricket.

  8. Shane Warne - Widely regarded as one of the greatest leg-spinners in cricket history, Warne’s ability to turn the ball sharply and his match-winning wickets made him a legend.

  9. Muttiah Muralitharan - Though from Sri Lanka, his selection in the Australian team of the century as a bowler alongside Warne speaks to his extraordinary impact on world cricket.

  10. Glenn McGrath - One of the best fast bowlers in history, McGrath's relentless accuracy and ability to take wickets in all conditions made him a mainstay in Australia's bowling attack.

  11. Dennis Lillee - Known for his fiery pace and intensity, Lillee was a key figure in Australia's attack through the 1970s and 80s, often taking wickets at crucial moments.

This team reflects the immense strength of Australian cricket across the decades, from the early 1900s to the turn of the century.
