1. Ricky Ponting
Undoubtedly, the greatest captain of all time, Ricky Ponting has the side that only a few can ever dream of. The player has taken the reigns from Steve Waugh and continued the good work that is being carried out by his former captain.
Ricky Ponting has helped Australia to win two consecutive world cups in 2003 and 2007 as the side looked nothing less than invincible over that period. He had the likes of Gilchrist, Warne, Hayden, McGrath and many others during his reign where Australia prospered immensely.
