Rating 10 best ODI teams of this decade
Which team according to you was the best?
4. Australia – 8/10
The Australia domination was on once again in this decade but not as much as it was in the last decade. After maintaining an impeccable record in the World Cup for more than 12 years, they ended up losing in India in the quarterfinals of the World Cup 2011. That was the phase where they had a couple of changes in terms of the captaincy.
But the aggressive style of cricket remained throughout the ten years. Two of the best phases came at the start of the decade and after the 2011 World Cup when they won four and five series in a row respectively. With new players emerging on to the scene, they focussed on the World Cup 2015 and prepared a mighty squad for the tournament. Quite expectedly, the team managed to win that at home.
In the latter half of the decade, they did decently well but would be disappointed with the semi-final exit in the World Cup 2019. Steve Smith led the side before his ban and now it is Aaron Finch who is at the helm. Overall, Australia won 125 out of the 216 games that they played and lost 79.
