Possible. Australia, West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand , India ....four are in the semis(seeing their form lately)
Rahul Dravid would no longer be captain in 2011, not even Sourav and Tendulkar.
The team of 2007 is very steady.
Factors helping India -
The best indian team going for the World Cup after the 1983 Presidential Cup. India has found good openers in Ganguly and Uthappa, with Sehwag in there too. Yuvraj, Dravid, Dhoni and Tendulkar steady the middle order to form one of the best middle order batting. Lower middle order of Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer can hit a few runs too.
As on bowling - Zaheer and Sreesanth/Munaf Patel will be opening and are not as bad. Kumble, Harbhajan and Sachin - Sehwag can bowl many spin overs between them. That leaves one guy extra. He can be employed as a strike bowler - Irfan/Sreesanth or Dinesh Kaarthick as the 11th guy. Irfan can bat as well.
It is a very powerful batting line-up, and make take a beating on their bowling lineup.
Quality Fielders are in plenty - Yuvraj, Uthappa, Sachin, Kaarthick. Fielders like Munaf Patel will have to be hided on the field.
There are all winning chances for India. India will reach the semi-finals for sure.

Allan Donald became gazing the ball on the non striker's end insteading of trusting his significant different's call. That turned right into a large mistake. And South Africa had to ignore the international Cup because of that stupid blunders. That became between the most disappointing moments ever in Cricket. i imagine they neglected touching the international Cup because of that ! and also, is yet another popular incident of SA throwing in the towel by a million run, at the same time as they idea that they had done the objective written on the scoreboard which became D/L par score! i think sorry for SA, they have been between the acceptable communities ever, and yet they have been unlucky to attain any huge ICC journey.

even without gilchrist, ponting and symonds, the aussies still posted scores of 300+ in the new zeland matches. say what you want but they are just in a bit of a form slump with the ball. things will click into place in time for the world cup, and they ll show the form that has made them the number one team for so long
