Its not there in warm up games I believe, ICC trying to save money

Yup, there will be use of full DRS including Hot spot, snikos, etc.

Hmm. Well Umesh Yadav just ripped through the Australian top order. There was a touch of Dale Steyn in the wicket of Bailey. Absolute peach!

28/5 Australia. All 5 for Yadav. Where was this Umesh Yadav during IPL. Marriage seems to have done a lot of good for him.

I have a bad feeling about this. India began 2007 World Cup warm-ups with a bang as well ffended:

We can only hope for the best.

Hoping that nohit gets injured & yuvi makes a comeback

Aus crash for 65. Windies did for 70-80 during 2007 WC warmups :numbness:

Dunno why the hell CA is punishing michael hussey by not picking him in the ODI squad since he retired from tests.
I have never seen a weaker aussie batting lineup than this. even clarke is doubtful coz of his back problem. CA should recall hussey

This could be the worst Aussie team, too reliant on Watson (at the moment) and Clarke.
In the long run, the back to back ashes seems out of their hands.
Australia is not one of the favorites.
Coming to favorites for this tournament, here are my thoughts Australia : weak and hence not favorite
New Zealand : Nah
South Africa : Chokers (and injury worries). I am supporting them though
Sri Lanka : Are you kidding me
India : Hope we win, but not fav
England : They lost series to NZ!
West Indies : One of favorites to win
Pakistan : Perpetual dark horse
