Australia have named an unchanged line-up for Wednesday's semi-final clash with South Africa in St Lucia.
Captain Ricky Ponting has stuck with the line-up who claimed a crushing 215-run victory over New Zealand in their last outing in Grenada to seal top spot in the Super Eight table. All-rounder Shane Watson is preferred to Brad Hodge after hammering 65 off 32 balls as Australia attempt to reach their fourth straight World Cup final. "We felt that was probably our best balanced side having Shane Watson back in the team and hopefully he can perform like he did in last game," explained captain Ricky Ponting. Full team: AC Gilchrist (wkt), ML Hayden, RT Ponting (capt), MJ Clarke, MEK Hussey, A Symonds, SR Watson, GB Hogg, NW Bracken, SW Tait, GD McGrath. Fixtures *SA Times
