Australia on track for World Cup final - Waugh

Mark Waugh says Australia are certainties to make their fourth consecutive World Cup final. He picks his team in the Sun-Herald.

Two months before a ball has even been bowled, I'm saying the Aussies will make the final … and I don't know how anyone could argue the point. In the four years since Ricky Ponting guided Australia to victory in South Africa, they have grown stronger while the rest of the world has stagnated or been left behind.

Jon Pierik writes in the Sunday Mail about a “major review” for the Australian tri-series, which also involves New Zealand and England.

In The Age Nathan Bracken talks about his desire to return to the Test set-up.

Adrian Proszenko reports in the Sun-Herald about the need to put Troy Cooley, the Australia bowling coach, on a long-term deal.
