After five consecutive loss against England and Newsland i do not think Australia will win this world cup. The main blow is that Bret lee is not playing and the main alrounder andrew symonds is doubt for the world cup. so it is difficult for australia's chance in this world cup. We saw in the last five mathches that Australia played their bowlers went for lot of runs. This Australian team is no where to the team that won the world cup in 1999 and 2003.

Austrialia had lost lots of players since the worldcup 2003. Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh, Bevan, Gillipsie, Warne, etc. I think the chances of th Australia winning the worldcup is less. One of the main reason is injury to the key players like Brett Lee and Symonds. Also, I think Australia is lacking some quality bowlers who could take wickets like Shane Warne. I really believe that Shane Warne should be playing the World Cup. Australia also is lacking some good fast bowlers. After the World Cup with McGrath retiring, I think Australia will loss a good pace bowler. I think the bench strenght of the Australia is little weak and has less experience. This is one of the reason Australia has been lossing matches. Symonds out no one to replace him with his allrounder skills. I think Australia should have given more chances to the bench player earlier and should have tried to bring good players in bench so that they could have substitute instead of the injured players with players who have experience.
