So do I, unfortunately. I remember getting up at about 4.30 to watch the game and feeling very confident once England had been set an achievable target. England had chased down good totals against sub-continental opposition and should have done the same against the Aussies.

World Cups are won by the side that really hits it's straps towards the end of the tournament. If the Aussies get an injury or two and a little bad luck on the field then they could lose a match or two. All that needs to happen is for another side to get some good fortune and the World Cup will have a new home. Should KP hit the same vein of form he had in South Africa then it could be England. It could equally be South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, New Zealand or the Windies.

I'd still put money on it being the Aussies, though!
