World Cup 2015: 'Excessive' talent may harm Australia, says Steve Waugh

Former Australian cricket great Steve Waugh has warned the current squad of being wary of the 'excessive talent' they have in the team as he insists that they could be 'their own enemy' in big matches of the World Cup.

The World Cup winning captain met the current Australian squad ahead of Friday's quarterfinal against Pakistan and warned them to be 'wary of the double-edged sword that is talent'.

Waugh, who led his fair share of star-studded teams including the one that peaked to produce the perfect game against Pakistan in the 1999 Cup final at Lord's, said that Australia can 'definitely go all the way to World Cup glory', adding that they have got 'all bases covered', News.com.au reported.

Australian coach Darren Lehmann has called in former greats, including Geoff Marsh and Ian Healy to motivate the current squad, the report added.
