I think Australia will loose 4 - 5 wkts in those 30 overs bowled by Vaas, Malinga and Murali coz they Aussies have not faced them in Carribean pitches ( Hats off to Lankan planning) and a great reason for result will be affected how other supporting bowlers perform
But one thing is sure , It will not be a high scoring match because both teams have excellent bowling well supported by outstanding fielding skills and Aussies may loose here as I have already pointed out that their lower middle order and tail enders have not got the batting practice through out the tournament and there is possibility that they may CRUMBLE???? is it not??

All media speculations. Discussion are eyewashing experience sachin and ganguly are main culprits for wc debacle. and there were huge public opinion against sachin. But strong mumbai lobby will never let down theirlocal hero. and vengasrakar wanted him to captain. resting ganguly and sachin is eyewashing exercise. And many ex cricketers, media cricket experts had not guts to spaeak against these 2 super starts. the lack of commiment , passion , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach.. both ex captain are fighting for captaincy behind scens. so they have to prove dravid is not good captain . but dravid started well wining 18 odis in chasing and won test series in WI , histoirci test match win SA, and odi sereis in WI.Chappell report was right in pointingout these dressing room politics and some players undermine dravd's captaincy and not to led by skipper . But this did not bring any laurales to ex captains.they are looser b'cuz there is no guarantee that sachin ganguly will play next WC many younger players will now perform on field and if they go for dressing room politcs they will loose the place in team like agarkar, harbajan and gatting back into team. Pathan and kiaf both deserving playes for odi and good players are victims of this dirty politics
As per some news report tendulkar and ganguly had last laugh that they got rid of chappell and next terget is dravid Indian express poll 75% favoured dropping sachin and ganguly for odi series against BL 80% ppl approved bcci move to drop senior players TOI poll 65% voted in favouring the bcci decision to rest superstars while dravid's supports to retain him as captain increased even after ongoing dravid bashing articles.. 80% of cricket associanton (survey in ndtv) supporte dravid. ,. IBN CNN survey 86% ppl voted for dravid.. Sachin may be living legend but he is no more bigger than team or game 48% voters is voted dravid to be captain by big margin. www.cricketvotes.com
SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places
