Australia are still formidable: Tait

Bangalore: Australian pacer Shaun Tait insists that his team has regained its lost aura and is poised to win a record fourth World Cup title despite predictions to the contrary.

Tait feels there are hardly any weaknesses in the team. “We had the wood over England in the one day series, we’re the No.1 ranked team in the world in one day cricket, so to be fair, it's hard to find weaknesses,” said the Australian pacer.
