One or two changes here and there will not matter. It is also not about losing or winning but the team looked jaded in all the games. Compare the team efforts/attitude with teams like South Africa, Ireland, Srilanka and even lowly placed Nederland and we know that is all is not well.

To qualify???? We are already qualified. Only the positions are uncertain.

Nowadays Dhoni plays helicopter shots only in advertisements. Otherwise as a batsman he bats like the lowest order batsmand with nicks and tucks here and there. It is shameful to just keep his record straight how he took singles and exposed lower order batsman. It is high time he is removed from captaincy and retained only as pinch hitter.
I Pakistan wins 2days match then they will be first, Srilanka 2nd , Aussie 3rd and New zeland fourth. Sa has won against Bangla - so they r no 1. It is necessary to lose to WI for third spot so that we can play against Srilanka rather than Aussie. What u say ?

I would be better to play Australian than Srilanka. Present Australia Team is very weak.
This being a crunch game for India I think Viru should not be rested as he is required to give the flying start India needs in this match. Raina can play in place of Yusuf Pathan.
Dhoni should take more ownership, responsibility in terms of gaining teams confidence, motivate every one , at the same time be more aggressive. At the knock out stage, it is very likely India will have to take on either Sri Lanka or Australia, and both teams are in peak form.
If India gets thru to Semis, then chances are bright to move ahead, as we may have to either play Sri Lanka or Pakistan.
India have never lost any game against Pakistan, will put pressure on Pakistan, eventually advantage India.
So the final is either between India V/S Australia, South Africa V/s India.
It is any one's game in the final, but if Chockers tag haunt South Africa, India... might lay their hands on the cup for 2nd time.
Just wishful thinking, provided all Indian bowlers perform to their best ability, drop no catches, field well, bat well. etc..
