This is a big blow to Pakistan. Razzaq is undoubtedly the best allrounder Pakistan has. The team has some real issues now. With doping controversy already gripping the team, this one is a disaster.

Too bad, he's a great player to watch. Australia is having enough problems of its own -- Brett Lee, Andrew Symonds, Matty Hayden. It'll be tough for them to pull off another tournament victory.

Australia has a great bench strength and a great leader as Ponting. Yes, they will have to play above potential in absence of great players. Luckily my team, India has managed to pick a balanced side. A lot of players specially Sachin will play his last WC - Expect something special from him.
