There is no doubt Aussies are an unbeatable side and true professionals, but probability of getting world title this time has gone down. Other teams like Pakistan and S. Africa can break the chain, what do you think?

To win the world cup, besides individual brilliance you need application, discipline inside the team, perservance, never say die attitude, sense of debt to the countrymen, 100% committment, a single minded dedication to win, shrewd cricketing brain and ability to make things happen in the field rather than waiting for things to happen. Presently, no other team in the world has all these qualities blended together in their team except Australia. Sure, the Australians are cocky, tend to manipulate umpires, aggressive, abusive and display unsportsman like behaviour, all right, but they do so to continue winning and keep supporting people happy. In my opinion, we can directly award them the trophy without an actual competition thereby saving our precious money and time.

west indian pitches are on the slower side with low bounce...and that will make things difficult for australians as they prefer bouncy tracks and like the ball to come on to the bat....but if anyone can adjust in a short span of time to such things..its australians...as they proved in the champions trophy...
i think they are going to do it yet again...n come out champions....other teams have to improve by leaps and bounds just to come close to this amazing team..
