On the other hand, Chris Gayle-led West Indies are rated underdog in this mega event but the former World Champs have the ability to beat any side in the world.

However, Australia received a jolt just before the starting of the tournament as its one of the important all-rounder Andrew Symonds was sent back home after found guilty of breaching team discipline.

Baggy Green have good combination of young and senior players. They have several devastating players like David Warner, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey, Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin. Aussies have also best bowling attack led by Brett Lee. Lee is ably supported by Mitchel Johnson and Nathan Breaken.
