#3 Australia’s fifth World Cup win (2015)

Michael Clarke managed to etch his name in the echelons of Australian cricketing folklore by securing yet another World Cup title for the country, in the footsteps of Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting. Although he was afflicted by a chronic back problem, he soldiered on, leading the side to victory over a rampaging New Zealand side to seal the honours for the third time since 2000.

Despite competition from defending champions India, New Zealand and South Africa, Australia put in a dominant overall performance, with captain Clarke leading from the front with a 72-ball 74 to seal the final with seven wickets to spare. He retired soon after, leaving a lasting legacy of a doughty character who evolved from a talented young batsman to one of Australia’s best ever.
