KLUSENER AN AUSSIE?

LANCE Klusener would probably be the first name on every World Cup captain’s wish list and Australia’s Steve Waugh must have been thinking “if only” when he saw the organisers’ latest averages. Sitting proudly atop the South African list was Klusener – and he was somehow also included ahead of Waugh and his team mates in the Australia list. The beefy all-rounder, who plundered 36 from 21 balls against the Aussies in the final Super Six match, averages 125 after being dismissed only twice in seven innings.
