ODI World Cup:<\/strong> Legendary Australia cricketer Mike Hussey believes the current 50-over side has a great chance of winning the 2023 Men's ODI World Cup to be held in India this year, citing the positive factor of the present group of players being together for a long time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hussey won the 2007 Men’s ODI World Cup with Australia in West Indies and more recently played a major role in helping England claim their maiden Men's T20 World Cup title last year as a member of their coaching setup. Australia had reached the semifinals of the 2019 Men’s ODI World Cup, where they lost to eventual champions England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I think Australia’s got a great chance as they have kept a (large) group of players together for a period of time now. They all know their roles pretty well and they’ve got a bit of continuity in their team as well. I think they’ve been trying a few little different things,” Hussey was quoted as saying by the ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He also cited Australia’s previous great ODI World Cup record of winning the cup five times as well as the recent 2-1 series triumph over India in March this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"They performed well in the series (in March) against India in Indian conditions and that will give them enormous confidence coming into the World Cup."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"And Australia has a great history in World Cup events. So, I know they will be very determined to do extremely well. There are so many great teams. It’s hard to pick a favourite but I think Australia will give themselves a big chance to be right up there," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hussey remarked that he expects leg-spinner Adam Zampa and pace all-rounder Mitchell Marsh to play a major role for Australia on the sub-continent pitches during the Men’s ODI World Cup in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Adam Zampa could play a big role for Australia throughout the tournament. He has been really good over the last few years. And I think Mitch Marsh is someone that can certainly have a big impact. He has been given a great role, batting in the top three now and he is playing with enormous confidence. So, if he gets his confidence up, he can be a really tough man to stop."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hussey signed off by saying that all members of the Australian team must make significant contributions during the tournament running from October 5 to November 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"You can’t rely on just one of two key players to win you a World Cup and it’s going to take a collective effort,” Hussey said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"But I think for Australia to do really well, they need their big guns to really step up and I guess when you think of that, you think of Steve Smith and Pat Cummins," he added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Australia-ODI-World-Cup.jpg", "alt_img": "ODI World Cup: Australia\u2019s got a great chance as current group has played together for a period of t", "alt_title": "ODI World Cup: Australia\u2019s got a great chance as current group has played together for a period of t", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ODI World Cup: Australia\u2019s Got A Great Chance As Current Group Has Played Together For A Period Of Time, Says Hussey On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ODI World Cup:\u00a0Legendary Australia cricketer Mike Hussey believes the current 50-over side has a great chance of winning the 2023, ODI World Cup: Australia\u2019s Got A Great Chance As Current Group Has Played Together For A Period Of Time, Says Hussey.", "seo_keywords": "Mike Hussey, 2023 World Cup, West Indies, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Marsh, Mitch Marsh, Steve Smith, Pat Cummins", "tag": null, "tagging": "Mike Hussey, 2023 World Cup, West Indies, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Marsh, Mitch Marsh, Steve Smith, Pat Cummins", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "odi-world-cup-australias-got-a-great-chance-as-current-group-has-played-together-for-a-period-of-time-says-hussey", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1204", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-08-18 13:34:23", "updated": "2023-08-18 13:34:23", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Mike Hussey, 2023 World Cup, West Indies, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Marsh, Mitch Marsh, Steve Smith, Pat Cummins", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "13", "jio_date": "2023-08-18 13:34:23", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/odi-world-cup-australias-got-a-great-chance-as-current-group-has-played-together-for-a-period-of-time-says-hussey-127601" }
