Who will compete most with Australia this World Cup?
The World Cup in West Indies is bound to be an exciting affair. Of course, Australia are the favourites. At the top, Adam Gilchrist more often than not blazes Australia away to a terrific start. Skipper Ricky Ponting is tactically astute and is a fine batsman. The loss of Damien Martyn may not be a giant loss, as Mike Hussey (with an average of 77), the big hitting but reliable Andrew Symonds and the maturing Michael Clarke bolstering the middle order. Australia have a superb bowling attack with Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and nathan Bracken certain starters. Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark are also able bowlers who have had success on the international stage. Brad Hogg is hugely underated and is sure to play a part in another World Cup, and Australia also have a rich list of allrounders (Watson and Hopes) and openers (Katich, Hayden, Cosgrove and Watson) in stock. Cameron White, Dan Cullen, Nathan Hauritz and even Dan Marsh are fighting for the second spinner spot and Brad Haddin is a superb keeper-batsman to support Gilly. Can they be beaten?
