Indians have a tough time ahead as it has become difficult for them to qualify for the super eight. What do you think the future of Indian cricket would be if india has to exit in the leauge round?

I think India will win this time around. I think this is the perfect chance for India to win the WC, because this time we are having well balanced squad with Experienced and Youth. India is having the strongest batting line up, likes of Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag etc, most of the players are in form and making valuable contributions for the team. India is having a strong team as compare to last WC squad, Now Inclusion of Dhoni, Pathan, sreesant, munaf, uttappa made India even more stronger. I think its a golden opertunity for the Indians to win the WC 2007 in West Indies Indian Batting mainly Depend on Sachin Tendulkar, He has a wonderful career so far, he made more runs than any one else in Odis and also tons, he can bowl seam up leg spin offspin, his bowling s an asset for INDIA, Sehwag, on his day he can belt any bowling line up he can bowl and he is a partnership breaker, Sourav, he has wonderful timing, after sachin he scored more runs for India, he can bowl and he is partnership breaker, Dravid is called THE WALL for his consistency, he is Mr dependable, Yuvraj is stylish left handed batsman, Dhoni a dangerous wicket keeper batsman, he can score 100 in 50 balls and also plays according to the situation. Indian bowling line up is also good, munaf is excellent with newball, ajit is great at reversing the ball. Zaheer is peak of his career, Irfan is young and brightful all rounder for India, Sreesant an aggressive wicket taking bowler, and not to mention about Harbhajan, he is class act, Anil Kumble a dangerous leg skidder rather than a spinner, he experience will benefit India in this WC. Biggest counter part AUS is struggling with injuries and lost their 6 out of 7 matches prior to the WC 2007 which includes a white wash in the hands of New Zealand, and loosing finals CB series finals to England 2-0.

India hasn't played well so far. With Bangladesh it was obviously bad. With Bermuda also, it wasn't good. A team which was bundled for 45 by England and for 75 by Sri Lanka, India let it reach almost 150. One of its partnerships went beyond 40, and one of its players made the first 50 by any player from their country in the world cup. The Indian bowling lacks penetration. If the same pattern continues, India will definitely lose against Sri Lanka on Friday. If that happens, India has no chance to make it to super 8. After that, Chappel will go home and chances are that Dravid will also lose captaincy. Perhaps dada will be back as captain.

just because of one match we cant say any thing. i think yesterday was bangaladesh's day,because as u know many chances were drop by indians. and u cant say that everyday the same thing will happen. but even if they will not reach super8 than obviously initial few month will be tough for them but then it will be normal.
