Well, it's underway and aren't Sri Lanka looking fantastic? I have to rethink my confidence in South Africa's ability to win this one.
And I am bloody happy that Sri Lanka is not in Australia's group.
Here's a wee reminder of Australia's Squad and Fixtures:
Ricky Ponting (captain)
Michael Clarke (vice-captain)
Nathan Bracken
Callum Ferguson
Brad Haddin
Nathan Hauritz
Ben Hilfenhaus
James Hopes
Michael Hussey
Mitchell Johnson
Brett Lee
Peter Siddle
Adam Voges
Shane Watson
Cameron White
Really pleased that Jimmy Hopes and Adam Voges will be there. Not so sure about Mussey at the moment, but I'm all up for being surprised by him.
Australia's fixtures for the competition look like this:
Saturday 26 September: Australia v West Indies (The Wanderers) - I will be at a wedding in Blackpool. Here's hoping the hotel has a bar with sky on the TV.
Monday 28 September: Australia v India (Centurion)
Wednesday 30 September: Australia v Pakistan (Centurion)
A couple of days ago I was feeling really confident that we would get through to the semis, now I'm not so sure. That's a pretty damn tough group we have to get through first.

but maybe not as tough as I first thought ... both Pakistan and the West Indies looked pretty dire today.
Plus, great news - the match starts at half eight in the morning so should be all over before the wedding starts!
