Chloe Saltau writes in The Age about Shane Bond and New Zealand being Australia’s greatest dangers at the World Cup.
With 24 days left until the final, Robert Craddock’s comment piece in The Australian covers the problems of the event, including the length of the tournament.
The ridiculous schedule has been highlighted by Australia's justifiable decision to allow its players to leave camp for three days this week before they return for the England game on Sunday. This tournament is as much about which team can stop itself from going stir crazy in the never-ending wait for matches as it is about firing up for the big occasion.
Steve Waugh, who has been at the Laureaus Sports Awards in Spain, says Australia are favourites to beat England on Sunday.
