Mind what you say
"As we know it only takes an injury. Who knows, one of the guys might roll their ankle on a ball when we first arrive. I'm sure Stuey will be the first to be called up then.:: Ricky Ponting about Stuart Clark's omission from the Australian World Cup squad
Brett Lee might be wishing Ricky Ponting hadn't said that, for the Aussies barely set feet on New Zealand soil, let along the Caribbean, and the "prophecy" seems to be coming true. Brett Lee didn't slip on a ball, McGrath-style, but he's joined Symonds on the stretchers, with Ponting and Clarke themselves under injury cloud.
It's a bad time for the Aussies who are being hit badly with 4 losses in 5 games (with the win being a very nasty shave). Where has all the talk about the mighty and seamless replacements gone now? Everyone is susceptible, and selfishly speaking, I'm glad that the events of the last week have thrown open the World Cup.

It will be great if Australia doesn't win the world cup, finally somebody else can win the World Cup. But all these injury problems should not reduce interest in World Cup Competition . Finally any winning team would like to defeat formidable Aussies team.In fact all injury problems in all the teams right now are great concern for game of cricket as it will really decrease the level of competition.Hope Australia still look formidable without their main players and wish they should lose in finals.
(Sorry about such comments ..sometimes it makes me feel same for aussies as I become Sampras and Federer hater ..even though they were great player.)Things become too one sided and predictable still some miracles happen like Krajiecek,Federer(in case of Sampras) and England (in case of Aussies).
Hope Aussies should follow West Indies' path.
