australia are the favorites right now... but look at the 1983 world cup, in which the west indies were the dead set favorites, but were thrashed all over the park by the Indians, cant say till now, as how the Indians will play in the first 5 overs will tell you exactly what the 50 (or gulp.. less) over score will be, if sachin starts smashing brett lee and mcgrath,,, you can kiss the kangaroos good bye
