With a bevy of big-hitting batsmen, the most dangerous fast bowler in cricket and home advantage, Australia are justifiably favourites to win the 2015 World Cup.


The Aussies already look in good order and returned to the top of the ICC ODI Rankings following their three-nil whitewash over Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.

Read on to see who we expect to be taking the field against England on 14 February 2015.
