Steve Waugh insists Australia’s World Cup defeat against title rivals India won’t derail the holders’ bid to retain the trophy. Australia were beaten for the first time in this year’s World Cup as India cruised to a 36-run win at the Oval on Sunday. But former Australia captain Waugh, a two-time World Cup winner, is confident his country have enough strength in depth to make the necessary tweaks to get them back on track for a place in the semi-finals of the 10-team event. “Australia won’t be too disappointed as they have time to dissect this loss, fine tune their process, tinker with batting orders and bowling options and manoeuvre things around before the semi-finals come around,” Waugh said. But Maxwell backed Australia’s approach and, like Waugh, believes only minor changes are needed to allow them to match India and tournament favourites England.
