The biggest difference between the australian teams of 2007 and current one is, they are missing mcgrath, gilly, and hayden this time. But still australia is one of the strongest contenders. Shane watson is in good form, Haddin is dependable keeper-batsman, big-hitting david hussey and cameron white can race the score board in the last 10-15 overs. Pace men Lee, Michel johnson, Bollinger, and Shaun tait - all are wicket taking bowlers. so, at least they will reach semi-finals.
But ponting is coming from an injury, and michel clark is inconsistent. this may be a concern for them. and moreover they are going to miss big hussey. This makes the batting line to look a bit average. On top of that they dont have a quality spinner. Clearly its visible that they are missing x-factor. Unlike the 2003 and 2007, they have to fight really hard to retain the cup.
