[welcomewiki]

Australia were involved in a few tight matches in the 2003 tournament in South Africa, but so dominant were they in the Caribbean that they hardly gave any chance to the opposition. Four Australians - Matthew Hayden (659), skipper Ricky Ponting (539), Gilchrist (453) and Michael Clarke (436) -- were among the tournament's top 10 run-getters

Australian pacemen Glenn McGrath (26), Shaun Tait (23), Brad Hogg (21) and Nathan Bracken (16) were among the top six bowlers. McGrath, on his last appearance, also surpassed Pakistani paceman Wasim Akram's Cup record of 55 wickets.

Sri Lanka deserved to be in the final for their consistency, Jayawardene (548) being the second-highest scorer after Hayden and Jayasuriya (467) the sixth. Off-spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan was had 23 wickets and paceman Lasith Malinga was the fifth best with 18. Malinga also became the first to bag four wickets off as many balls, against South Africa.
