The record stood for 18 years. Clive Lloyd's West Indian side had it all -- fast bowlers, batsmen, great fielders and one of the best captains to ever grace world cricket.
But it was set in a different era, when fewer cricket matches were played. From June 4, 1984, to February 2, 1985, the West Indies were unbeaten. The Aussies have not just broken this record; they have shattered it, and one can only imagine how long it will last.
