Pick the Kit: '92 WC v '99 WC

The first semi-final of our Pick the Kit fan vote pits the 1999 strip endorsed by the GOAT Nathan Lyon against the 1992 outfit worn on home soil in a head-to-head showdown.

Cricket Australia, with the support of kit-maker Asics and sponsor Alinta Energy, have thrown open the choice for the design of 2019-20 men's one-day uniform to Australia's fans.

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED. The 1999 kit won 68% of the vote compared to 32% for the 1992 kit

Read on for a stroll down memory lane for each kit.

The fan vote will be run in a head-to-head format until there's a final winner from the shortlist of eight uniforms worn by some of the greats of Australian cricket in the golden age between 1980 and 2001.

The 1992 World Cup

Coloured clothing comes to the World Cup for the first time – and what an introduction! Of all the kits featured in this fan vote, the 1992 World Cup is surely the most well-known and iconic.

It made a reappearance during the 2015 World Cup when the tournament returned to Australian and New Zealand shores for fans, but the chance for players to again don this famous uniform will surely attract many votes.

Nine teams contest this tournament, and the captains gathered for a famous pre-tournament photograph on the shores of Sydney Harbour, resplendent in their kits, while all players posed for a mass photo on the rear of a battle ship in front of Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Pakistan, of course, won this tournament. Imran Khan and his famous 'cornered tigers' overcoming England in the final.

This tournament also marked the reintroduction of South Africa to international cricket following the end of Apartheid late the previous year. And perhaps started the Proteas sorry history in global tournaments when the rain rule of the day left them needing 21 off the final ball in a key match against England.

It was a poor tournament for Allan Border's side, the defending champions after their win in 1987. This kit made its debut in Australia's opening match, which was played at Auckland's Eden Park, where a Martin Crowe century proved too much for the Aussies, despite Boon replying with a hundred of his own.

Australian fans first got to see Border's men step out in the kit on home soil when they played South Africa at the SCG and had Allan Donald tear through them as they made just 9-170 and lost by nine wickets.

Dean Jones struck 90 as the Aussies won a rain-interrupted affair at the Gabba against India by just a solitary run, and the old nemesis Ian Botham's four wickets saw the Aussies crumble to 171 all out against England who cantered to an eight-wicket win.

They beat Sri Lanka in Adelaide, but were undone by Pakistan at the WACA before finishing the round robin tournament on a high with wins over Zimbabwe in Hobart and the West Indies where Boon struck his second century of the tournament.

Boon finished with 368 runs at 52.57 while the next best was Dean Jones' 276 at 39.42. Mike Whitney was the leading wicket taker with nine, while Craig McDermott and Steve Waugh each had eight.

The 1999 World Cup

This 20th anniversary of Australia's 1999 World Cup win and fond memories of the tournament make this kit an early favourite for a 2019 revival in our Pick the Kit challenge.

On a classic Australian Gold palette, the front features the Southern Cross in green and zooming in from the lower left. Green collar and cuffs with golden stars complete the top, while the left leg also bears the Southern Cross over a right-handed batter's thigh guard.

Steve Waugh wore this kit when he lifted Australia's second World Cup trophy at Lord's – something Aaron Finch will be aiming to repeat this year – but that is far from the most memorable moment that occurred in this outfit. Indeed, it was the back-to-back games against tournament favourites South Africa that are most famous in Australian eyes.

Herschelle Gibbs' dropped catch and Steve Waugh's subsequent century, Shane Warne's match-turning spell of leg-spin bowling and, of course, Allan Donald's run out are the stuff of cricket folklore.

But Australia started life in this uniform in uncertain fashion. They won their first up match against Scotland but then lost to New Zealand and Pakistan, leaving them on the cusp of an inglorious early exit. But Waugh boldly proclaimed Australia could still lift the Cup – they just needed to win their next seven matches on the trot.

Bangladesh, the West Indies, India and Zimbabwe were all swept aside in increasingly assured performances before Australia met the Proteas in the final match of the Super Six stage at Headingley.

Gibbs dropped Waugh – and the World Cup, so the tale goes – and Australia's captain went on to post an unbeaten 120 in one of his finest ever ODI knocks to set up the rematch four days later.

It all looked to be going pear-shaped for the Aussies in their semi-final until Warne turned the match. In a thriller, Lance Klusener looked to have the Proteas home until Donald's brain explosion.

After that drama, Warne's four wickets to skittle Pakistan for 132 and Adam Gilchrist's quick-fire fifty in the final were almost anti-climactic, but Australia still celebrated long and hard with what would prove to be the first of three successive World Cup titles.
