LONDON: Steve Waugh insists Australia's World Cup defeat towards name opponents India would possibly not derail the holders' bid to retain the trophy.
ICC WORLD CUP 2019: FULL SCHEDULE I POINTS TABLE
Australia had been beaten for the first time on this yr's World Cup as India cruised to a 36-run win at the Oval on Sunday.
Aaron Finch's aspect had been pummelled by way of India's batsman after which struggled to release a significant run-chase, leading some critics to suggest they don't seem to be up to the task of profitable the event.
But former Australia captain Waugh, a two-time World Cup winner, is assured his nation have sufficient strength extensive to make the vital tweaks to get them back on the right track for a place within the semi-finals of the 10-team tournament.
"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 mentioned.
"This World Cup is wide open right now with up to six teams believing they have a chance to lift the Cup at Lord's."
One of the few Australia batsmen to turn indicators of being able to match India's fire-power used to be Glenn Maxwell, who hit 5 fours in his 14-ball innings of 28 earlier than paying the cost for one aggressive stroke too many.
The remainder of the Australia line-up batted too slowly earlier than India eased to victory with a flurry of late wickets as Finch's aspect had to opt for broke with the run-rate required reaching 11 an over.
But Maxwell subsidized Australia's approach and, like Waugh, believes handiest minor changes are wanted to allow them to match India and event favourites England.
"I don't think we need to change anything and I don't think we were that far off, we just need some tinkering here and here, a bit of luck going our way," Maxwell mentioned.
"On some other day a couple would have cleared the fence or ignored the fielders and we would had been away.
"We had been trying to stay alongside of the run charge but they bowled truly well and fielded out of their skins. Their tactics had been truly just right and the built pressure on us too briefly."
