The present Aussie combine under the leadership of Steve Waugh is great cos of a few factors.
1 The have the best captain ever to have played. sorry Bradman was not that great cos he never played outside 3 countries.
2 The best pace bowler as of today Glenn MgCrath and def the best leggie against the poms , the springboks the kiwis and the carribeans.
3 The best batsman today Steve Waugh right in the middle.
Def he is much greater than Sachin or Lara for the simple reason he has contributed personally towards changing the fortune of his team against every country in alien turf. Ex his match winning 200 in Sabina Park 365 runs partnership with Blewitt in Wandrers, his century in Rawalpindi his countless knocks in England, Newzealand.
Indeed during his tenure which he started in a team of just startups and now leading a team of champions has seen him be aprt of winning Australian team abroad but for against India though he has won a test in India.
4 Swashbuckling wicket keeper best batsman wicketkeeper.
5 Endless reservoir of subs, they have guys queuing up and all of them doen and come through such a grind in local cric.
Dynamic approach to the game and going into the game only for a win right from the toss.
