Aussies still a force - Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has warned Australia should not be underestimated at the World Cup, despite arriving at the event dogged by injuries and poor form.

Indian legend Tendulkar believes Ricky Ponting's team will use the criticism they have received as ammunition to fire back at their doubters.
"You cannot write off the Australians, they are too good a team," said 33-year-old Tendulkar.
"They are a team who know how to bounce back when they are under pressure."
Tendulkar scored 673 runs at the last World Cup in South Africa when India were beaten in the final by Ponting's men.
Australia are chasing a third successive World Cup title but they have lost their last five one-day internationals.
We are very confident that this is going to be a very good tournament for us

They are also without pace spearhead Brett Lee, who was ruled out of the tournament through injury, while Andrew Symonds and Matthew Hayden are both struggling for fitness.
Tendulkar missed India's last tour of the Caribbean but believes that he can have a successful tournament as his country seek to win a second World Cup to add to their 1983 title.
"I am looking forward to having a good World Cup," said Tendulkar, who is the highest scorer in the history of one-day internationals with 14,783 runs in a 381-match career.
"I am hoping that both my batting and bowling will come good. I am not under any pressure at this time, I feel quite confident and I am ready to go."
Skipper Rahul Dravid, buoyed by seeing his team beat Sri Lanka in a recent home series, believes India have one of the most balanced sides in the tournament.
"We have a pretty good team and we are very confident," said Dravid.
"I know that all the other teams will be aiming to play their best cricket but we are very confident that this is going to be a very good tournament for us."
Coach Greg Chappell is also confident the squad's all-round strength will shine through.
"We will not be relying on any special players because the team is fairly well-balanced," said Chappell.
India will play two warm-up matches in Jamaica against the Netherlands and West Indies on 6 and 9 March respectively before heading to Trinidad.
They face Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Bermuda in the first round of the World Cup.
