Many teams came close to bettering the Clive Lloyd-led West Indies' record. But actually breaking it was a different matter. Allan Border led his Australian team to within one victory of equalling the record when they went unbeaten from February 23, 1990, to May 2, 1990.
Dean Jones, Simon O'Donnell, Terry Alderman and Carl Rackemann were the clutch performers in this Aussie team.
