Australia already thinking of quarter-finals

Australia will look to continue their unbeaten run in the World Cup and not suffer a banana skin slip-up when they face Kenya on Sunday.


Ranked as the number one ODI team in the world and going for their fourth title in a row, Australia were still not considered as a favourite at the start of the tournament. But their recent performances have showed that they should not be forgotten so easily.


Australia have proved that they can be just as effective as any spin attack and the return of Mike Hussey gives their middle-order a boost after he replaced the injured seamer Doug Bollinger.


The introduction of Hussey could be a decisive decision, as Australia now have perhaps the best finisher in the game. Hussey is adept at playing spin and has the mental toughness finish games under pressure.
