India have everything and more
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.
Somethings which India need to work on to improve for the World Cup 2007 in the Caribbean -
Every Indian Player Has To Think About The Country Not Individual.
Play As A Team
Making of Master Game plan before every match
Play Mind games With Every Team
Good Net Practice Before Every Match
Relaxation Techniques
Good Fielding
Players Should Be Absolutely Fit Before Every Match

hello!!!
I know u must be very excited about the world cup!!
I am too!!
I think this Indian team is very good!! They have a very good balance in the side and I think yuvraj , ganguly n sachin will be the key players!!
Sehwag n pathan also have to perform if they r picked!!
I think India has a very good chance of winning this world cup especially with australia having a low morale!!
So I think India has it in them and they will go all the way!!!!

Yes if they play with team spirit and they should have hunger to win. They can win WC but for that they should not be over confident. They should keep hope till the last ball and then only you will see WC in their hands.

They just need to play as a team, they have a strong side the players just need to play their natural game.

Mostly no. Firstly they have to stop depending on one player and the Indian public have to stop protesting or showing their discontent over their lack lustre performance so that they can forget about pressure and concentrate on the game.
