India has the potential to win it.What worries me is that they also had their opportunities in 1996 & 2003 & negative frame of mind cost them.On both occassions they won the toss & opted to field simply because they thought the opposition were better chasers.The more relevant factors were ignored.They will need to knock the Australians & the South Africans over(something they are capable of) rather than hope for a slip-up.

I find indian team's performance most unpredictable and inconsistent. They can win/loose/draw. If you talk about australia/south africa, thier performance can be predicted upto some extent but India.......huh....here cricket menas..politics, stardom for cricketers, internal conflicts, huge money making..\n\nI think indians should loose atleast 100 ODIs and 100 tests to become a good team(that is only way they can wake up). \n\nThanks

Although Sri Lanka and South Africa are playing well, I still believe Australia have a better team composition. So Australia should win.

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.

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.

Australia\n\n24 March 2003 Australia v India.\n\nIndia won the toss, and Ganguly, slightly strangely, asked Australia to bat, hoping to take advantage of a pitch left damp by dew and rain. On a lively Wanderers Stadium pitch, the Australian openers took advantage of very wayward Indian opening bowlers to get off to a flying start. Bringing up a century opening stand in the fourteeth over, Adam Gilchrist, who had been swinging at everything, holed out off a sweep shot from the bowling of Harbhajan Singh leaving Australia at 1-105. Matthew Hayden, looking somewhat better than he had throughout the tournament, soon followed for 37. Captain Ricky Ponting and Damien Martyn (playing with a broken thumb) then completed a partnership of 234, an Australian record for one-day cricket. Ponting and Martyn started efficiently, putting away bad balls but mostly keeping the scoring going with good running, then letting loose in the last ten overs, taking 109 from them, Ponting in particular dispatching the bowling over the fence with fearsome regularity making 140 from 121 balls. The final Australian total of 2-359 was their highest ever in ODI history.\n\nThe Australian total looked impregnable, particularly after India's trump card Sachin Tendulkar was out in the first over after skying a pull shot, Glenn McGrath completing the caught and bowled. Nevertheless, Virender Sehwag's run-a-ball half century gave India respectability as they maintained a high scoring rate, but their only realistic hope—a washout—looked a possibility as the game was interrupted by rain in the eighteenth over. However, the rain proved fleeting, and India's hopes were dashed when Sehwag was run out by Darren Lehmann for 82. India's batsmen continued to throw wickets away in the chase and were finally bowled out for 234 giving Australia an emphatic victory underlining their dominance of the tournament. Ponting was named "Man Of The Match", and Sachin Tendulkar, for his demolition of bowling attacks, was named "Player Of The Tournament."
