It looks really tough for India at this stage. Too many weaknesses. Pace department: Poor. Most Unpenetrative attack in recent years, lack of control, leaking too many runs.
Spin department: Average. And will be nullified on Australian pitches
Opening Batting: Average. Due to poor form of Dhawan, and no backup option like inform Murli Vijay.
Middle Order: Average. Form of most batsmen currently is not good, except to some extent rahane.
Captain: Seems really clueless
And too many inexperienced (for Australian conditions) Players in team. ONLY A MIRACLE OR A COMPLETE TURNAROUND OF FORM OF ALL PLAYERS WILL SEE INDIA WIN CUP.
Its a biggest JOKE of the century to think INDIA can win the world cup , They would loose so badly their games that they wont go beyond qtr final..... DHONI will be compelled to retire as ODI captain

,Lucky India .,they don't have to play against Bangladesh. they are in pool A..... I think there is a chance India loosing to Ireland .
It seems that bowling side is weak. Present bowlers dont use their experience or calmness when hit badly. Shikhar is not in form. We need to have batting line till 8th man at least which seems to be out of question. The hard hitters like Yuvi is kept out. So having said all these, it seems it is very hard to retain the world cup world cup. It seems that Australia, South Africa have better opportunity for this cup.
As we have so many players for a great show and play, this team has no atall chance to reach even in semi final.Any how as an Indian my best wishes to the entire troops. Omitted Shewag and Yuvaraj was a great loose to India. Selectors shown partiality.
1) In 1983 it was Mohinder Amabarnath, bowler with avergae 2 wickets per match batsman at no 5, guranteed score towards 50. 2) In champions trophy Ravi Shastri, bowler with avergae 2 wickets per match batsman at no 5, guranteed score towards 50. 3) In last world cup Yuvraj Singh, bowler with avergae 2 wickets per match batsman at no 5, guranteed score towards 50.
Who is that person in the current team.
Last world cup semi final, Sachin was top scorer against Pakistan and if u watch that game u understand that no on else could have withstood that bowling and fielding.
Who is going to click atleast in the knockout matches ? By law of averages we need 4 such people. Fortunately we have these.
so if we get the 5 batsman right we have a chance.
