SPORT WAUGH 2

Two-time World Cup winning captain Waugh said India and
Australia will start the favourites in the ODI World Cup next
year, which will be held in Indian sub-continent.

"Australia have very good record. India is also very hard
to beat in India. So they will be the favourites.
"Then there is also New Zealand. I think, there are
probably five teams capable of winning the World Cup but India
and Australia will be the favourites," he said.
Asked whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men were capable of
retaining their number one Test team tag for long, Waugh said:
"I don't think anyone will hold the number one ranking (for
long) because we have three formats of the game.
"With niggling injuries and so many tours, it is very
difficult to be consistent. May be they can hold on to Test
ranking but it is very difficult to dominate all the formats
of the game."
Waugh also has apprehension about the Decision Referral
System and thinks still there is place for improvement.
"I'm at times very confused about it. I was initially
against it but later I read about it and saw decisions going
right but for the last 12 months some of the decisions didn't
seem right, which showed the technology is not completely
full-proof yet," he said. MORE PTI ATK
