It's a toss up, but I think they can still win the series.  I don't think they will advance past the next round though.

Well there's obviously some bias here.\n\nSo far 20 out of 25 people have picked India, with 3 maybes and 2 nos.\n\nSo does this mean we should all go down and put our hard earned money on them.  I don't see how you can be so confident.\n\nYou gotta win the World Cup, it's not just given to you.\n\nYou need to have the players to do it.  Having some good players will win you some games but not the whole tournament.\n\nWhat makes all of you think you can get past Australia, Sth Africa or even England.  \n\nHow about batting lets see the latest rankings.\n1   Adam Gilchrist  AUS   \n2   Mahendra Dhoni  IND   \n3   Ricky Ponting  AUS   \n4   Andrew Symonds  AUS   \n5   Mike Hussey  AUS  \n\nOuch - 4 out of the top 5 - in the World.\n\nBowling\n\n1  Shaun Pollock  SA  858  \n2  Irfan Pathan  IND  765  \n3  Shane Bond  NZ  762  \n4  Glenn McGrath  AUS  756  \n5  Daniel Vettori  NZ  750  \n6  Brett Lee  AUS  732  \n7  Nathan Bracken  AUS  723  \n8  Muttiah Muralitharan  SL  701  \n9  Chaminda Vaas  SL  693  \n10  Harbhajan Singh  IND  690  \n\nNot many Indians here either.\n\nIndia winning the world cup is Wishful thinking.

West indies will win, they are under new, inspired management(Lara).. india might win the next match but for me WI are strong favourites in the last 2 ODI's in trinidad!

Hmmm..... It's a tricky one. So, here is a tricky answer from my side.\n\nOn their current form India looks capable of winning the WC 2007, Infactany team can win it. If we look at the ICC ODI Ranking Table then we would see that Australia is 1st and way ahead. But competition is strict from 2nd to 7th as South Africa is marginally ahead of Pakistan who is followed by India, England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. This shows how close these teams are when it comes to their standard of play and their consistency. It also means that from 2nd to 7th Position any team can beat its opponent (Even Australia, As New Zealand has just proved it by beating Australia in a record chase). So I think any of the Top Seven teams can won the World Cup on its day. Now a days ODI cricket has become so unpredictable that any thing can happen. \n\nComing back to the question, I would say that Aussies are favorites to defend their title but a bad day can stop their march towards a dream hat trick. Apart from Australia, every other team (i.e.; England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa) have equal chance to win the WC 2007. Any of the above mentioned team can make Aussies pay for their mistakes on the certain day. So, I would say that, India has equal chance of winning the World Cup 2007 as any other Top 7 team, with Aussies being the Favorites.

Yes India will win this series but very tightly. What I mean to say is that West Indies will give a though fight which has already proven in the 2nd ODI. I think India will win the series by 3-2 margin.

India will win the series 2 - 0

Westindies pitches are more suitable for fast bowlers than batsman. So no team can post a score of 400 or above.\n\nLooking back the the recent matches, we can say srilanka, zimbawe and england teams does not show any consistency and the chances for reaching semi itself is feable. \n\nPakistan any way they will never win against india in world cup moreover they have been thrashed very badly in recent matches so their confidence level is very low . Waqar is teaching them now how to reduce sixes and give only fours So they will not play for win they will be playing for descent lose.so they are also ruled out\n\nSo the final teams playing semi finals will be \nIndia\nSouthAfrica\nAustralia\nWestindies\n\nWestindies till now have very good record in home ground so the chances are more for westindies to reach final.\n\nNow its very easy to say india beat SA/Australia in Semis and meet Westindies in final. \n\nThe team which is most expected will win the cup.

India is in the driving seat and i guess Rain can only save the match for the West Indies or i see no reason why india should lose from such good position

I disagree. Friend, cricket is a funny game. Miracles do happen. :) Yes, Pakistan are the favourites. Deficiency of fast bowlers will hurt India. But then again, you never know with cricket.

India are strong contenders as do South Africa and Pakistan. India has a bunch of youngsters who are given lot of chances bfore the world cup. The bench strength of India is greater than that in the previous cup

Dont be upset my friend. India is a strong contender even though they loose the match against  windies. I feel they also need some loses in their kitty so that they could gain and grow stronger. In an article i read that India is peaking way before the WC begins . this is not good. I doesnt mean to say that they should lose most matches. But they should also loose some matches before WC to prepare well to face all the eventualities. \n\nI am not bothered by this defeat at all. Are u?

Without any sort of thinking , I can say the answer to this question as YES. He is leading wicket taker for India both in Tests and ODIs. He still can win matches for India. Giving a place in the World Cup team will be best way to acknowledge the greatest spinner of modern day Indian cricket who was always sidelined both by media and selectors!
