Why should other countries bother if the media is giving wide publicity for cricket in India. Media of every country gives wide coverage for the games which has large followers in their
country

Other countries will think that " India are playing to their strengths.... !!!"
Our physique etc does not make football, hockey etc suitable for us. We Indians believe in Wait and Watch. Cricket suits us fine. India is also famous for its Reservation Policy. We reserve posts for various categories like SC, ST, OBC, Handicapped etc. Cricket is the only game where Reservation can be implemented. For example, a person with Polio-affected hands can become a terrific spinner.... a mentally handicapped person can become the Captain..... an obese person can become a slip fielder...... a person who does not know any cricket can at least become the 12th man, if not the coach, selector or team-manager. So Cricket suits us fine. Kabbadi also suits us....... since we excell in pulling each others legs... (hockey would suit us..... but pulling each other's leg by hockey-sticks is fouled these days... otherwise !!!)
Hence no problem with cricket. Other countries will understand that Indians are playing to their strengths.......

all are good
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

No country will say anything as media is giving too much importance....but this is an internal problem- for the players.
Wherever you see, in TV, its only "Mission World Cup", "Go India" and other world cup talks, and about India having chances to win the world cup.
All this puts too much pressure on the players, and they fail to deliver.
This has happened many a time, and it will continue to happen, unless players are left alone. There is naturally pressure exerted on them, and they fail to perform
I wont be surprised if India fails to make to the semi-finals....
Ok coming to ur ques...
Too much trivia and 'HYPE' is not good...importance should restrict to importance, hype, unnecessary celebrities is not good.
Cricket cricket cricket everywhere is also not good....
Thw world is sooooo big, and restricting our knowledge and interest to only cricket is not healthy
