1- Your favorite AUS win during the reign?
2- Your most hated AUS win during the reign?
3- Your favorite AUS defeat during the reign?
4- Your favorite AUS cricketer during the reign?
5- General thoughts about the reign and how it compares to the W Indian empire of the 80s and the early 90s?

1- Not sure.
2- 1999 WC final
3- 1999 WC group game at Headingley
4- same....
5- Astonished at the fact that they haven't lost a single world cup game since losing to Pakistan at Leeds in 1999. Certainly the greatest ODI side ever
