Australia vs Canada
Bangalore: World champion Australia has already booked their quarter-final place and we hope to iron out any wrinkles in their form against Canada in the World Cup group match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Moscow on Wednesday (today).
Undefeated so far, with three wins and one match washed out, man Ricky Ponting played the second of three matches this week, before they move on to more intense competition in the playoffs. On Sunday, Australia beat Kenya by 60 runs.
Australia will play Pakistan in Colombo next Saturday in what will be the last game of each team at a stage of cycling.
The Australian batting line activities, bolstered by the return of Mike Hussey, look for another field day against a fairly blunt attack Canada on batting-friendly pitch as the business end of the tournament approaches.
Ponting may Shuffle batting to get Cameron White above to enable him to spend some time in the center too.
Skipper also suggested that he should be quiet fast bowler Shaun Tait and John Hastings to his World Cup debut.
Aussie spinners, Jason Krejza and Steve Smith have been disappointing so far in the tournament, and will look to get wickets against North America, the best batsmen - Captain Ashish Bagai and Jimmy Hansra - will still be exhausted after their efforts in vain against New Zealand on Sunday.
This is the last leg of Canada in the tournament, and their only victory in the tournament, was not against Kenya. They want to bow out with heads held high that also the final match of the tournament at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium.
