Winning World Cup was incredibly special, want to re-live that moment, shares Steve Smith

Australia’s record fifth ODI World Cup title is forever etched in Australia batsman Steve Smith's heart as the most cherished moment of his cricketing career. What makes the campaign special is that Smith amassed five back to back fifty-plus scores, including a ton against India in semifinal towards the fag end of the contest. Smith recalled that day, vivid as yesterday, how the MCG, which was lively as a beehive with 93,013 spectators, erupted as the home team finished the game off in style, with a boundary. The Aussie batting mainstay shared that he would love to relive the moment once again in his career.

What made the moment more special was that it was Smith himself who hit the winning runs, a short-arm jab which raced off to the boundary, to bring home the gold flattening their Trans-Tasman rivals emphatically. He recalled how he enjoyed the team with the star-studded team in the build-up to the big game.

"It was a pretty special six to eight weeks where we were together playing in a World Cup at home and finishing on that note made it even more special. That time was probably the most enjoyable six to eight weeks I've had – great fun, good bunch of guys and I loved every minute of it."
