INDIA
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.
India have enjoyed a great run in previous world cups as well.
In 1979 we were almost through to semis. In 1983 we won the cup. In 1987 we were in the semis. In 1996 we were in semis (because of indian crowd, match given to Sri Lankans). In 1999 we beat Pakistan (who earlier beat Australia). Then in 2003 we reached the finals.

No doubt.India can win the world cup
1. Highly experienced Sachin - Ganguly - Dravid trio.
2. Young guns like Yuvraj Singh,Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik
3. The explosive "Gilchrist" Dhoni.
4. Old warhorse legspinner Anil Kumble
5. Strong pace attack consisting of Pathan, Zaheer, Sreesanth and
Patel
6. The 'turbanator' who can turn any match in favor of India
7. Above average fielding strenghth
8. and finally Virender Sehwag who has the potential to become the most dangerous batsman; on his day that is

Which ever team keeps its poise and attitude correct on that day will come out winners. My favourites in order of possibilities are a) Australia, b) South Africa and c) New Zealand. India has a very outside chance to qualify beyond the semi-finals.

i imagine Australia gained't enable India to win over them. because they have already been overwhelmed by Indians interior the nice and cozy temperature Up tournament and hence this time they're going to come extra sturdy on India and could win the game. notwithstanding being a Pakistani, i wish to make sure Pakistan as international Champions, yet even notwithstanding i have were given bored to make sure Australia prevailing the international Cup everytime, I nevertheless say that they are the most helpful contenders to win this sport.
