I don't think injured and rested players in Indian team would make much diffrence to ultimate outcome of this tournament. Zahir Khan's loss may affect in Test match not in ODIs where bowlers like Praveen Kumar and Nehra are more useful. Harbhajan's resting is blessing in disguise as he would have finished tournament without any wickets taken. Oza is much better option. Sachin's place could be effectively filled by youngsters like Kohli/Rohit. Yuvraj is more comfortable in this format as there is little time to make nervous start. We have more balanced team than other two teams. India should win this Tournament without much trouble.
It is in the hands of Nehra, who should bowl better. It depends in the hands of Viru as all know. It depends in the hands of Ojha,Ashwin. The key superlative players are Raina,Kohli and the captain himself

The way you comment about a great player like Sachin I doubt you may not even give respect to your own parents.If you don't have anything else to write please don't write here.

I agree. Newzelanders are weakest as team in this Tourney. They are more depending on Tylor and Styris in batting and Nathan Macculam in bowling.India may not have much trouble in beating them.
remember what indian selectors did before 2007 world cup...they were "testing the Bench strength" and players didnt get time to settle as a team and a very strong looking team was out of the 1st round.....

You are right. But Instead of Mumbai, Baramati should be capital. Sharad Pawar & his gang of relatives must be having more than 50% of Maharashtra Land. Jai Maharashra

Biggest JOKE - India is ready irrespective of injuries.. OK. And others are not ready as they also are not 100%.. and only the bench strenght is tested when someone gets injured.. biggest joke..

1.They should not get injured in playing these matches. 2. They have nothing to prove - they are proven match winners. They can play directly even without match practice - into world cup matches.
