Former Australian fast bowler, Jason Gillespie, thinks Australia are hot favourites for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Australia have won the 1999, 2003 and 2007 edition in succession and Gillespie, who has signed up for a coaching stint for one of the provincial teams in Zimbabwe - Kwekwe-based MidWest Rhinos, thinks Australia are good for a fourth in a row, "Looking ahead at 2011, I think India will have a home advantage and I think the conditions will suit it but I still think Australia dominates the 50-over format and it will win the 2011 tournament."
Jason Gillespie also recalled his favourite World Cup moment, "I think my most memorable World Cup match has to be Australia’s win over India in 2003 in Johannesburg. I felt the first innings score of over 350 was just amazing.
"Also against South Africa in 1999 (semi final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 1999) when Damien Fleming rolled the ball down the wicket to tie the match was great too."
