Australia are favourties: Ponting
“I think Australia are favourites,” the former Australian captain told BCCI.TV.
“It is a tag that will sit well with them. Most World Cups I have been part of, we were favourites. But you don’t think about it. You just go out there, try and prepare as well as you can and go and play," he said.
“Just because you’re the favourite going into the game, doesn’t change anything. But this team, they were very impressive in their first game against England and the balance they have in the squad right now is probably as good as I have seen for a while," he said.
Australia had defeated England in their first match of the World Cup on Saturday.
