Australia’s stunning turnaround in ODI form over the last few months has been a sight to behold – but there’ll be no getting off easy if they fall back into their old ways at the World Cup.
After a putrid run of form in the 50-over format – exacerbated by Steve Smith and David Warner’s suspensions – historic series wins away in India and against Pakistan in the UAE have increased expectations for the World Cup greatly.
Are the Aussies actually a chance? What’s the pass mark?
We were joined on the Game of Codes podcast by Roar cricket expert Glenn Mitchell to run over Australia’s chances, selection quandries and matches to look out for.
Listen to the debate:
Australia have a huge reputation to defend at the World Cup, with their five triumphs – including the last tournament in 2015 – the most of any country.
A triumph here, however, could arguably be considered the greatest of them all.
The Aussies enter the World Cup ranked fifth in ODIs at the moment, behind New Zealand in fourth, South Africa (third), India (second) and first-ranked England.
