I think India will will have a good chance. This is a series which is just off a layoff for the team. It is just a case where the team had lost its rhythm off the lay off. However its good to see Kaif back in form and Hopefully sehvag too. I have always been advocating that these 2 players are a big asset on the foreign tours. In my last post I mentioned that the goal of this series is to get the Indian teams feet wet on the new grounds in preparation for world cup

If they perform to their potential and ability, they are defenitely going to be assets to Indian Team.  Unfortunately they are not doing justice to their potential.  One can see many youngsters coming to Indian Team in the near future before team for the world cup is selected.

Hmmm..... It's a tricky one. So, here is a tricky answer from my side.\n\nOn their current form India looks capable of winning the WC 2007, Infactany team can win it. If we look at the ICC ODI Ranking Table then we would see that Australia is 1st and way ahead. But competition is strict from 2nd to 7th as South Africa is marginally ahead of Pakistan who is followed by India, England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. This shows how close these teams are when it comes to their standard of play and their consistency. It also means that from 2nd to 7th Position any team can beat its opponent (Even Australia, As New Zealand has just proved it by beating Australia in a record chase). So I think any of the Top Seven teams can won the World Cup on its day. Now a days ODI cricket has become so unpredictable that any thing can happen. \n\nComing back to the question, I would say that Aussies are favorites to defend their title but a bad day can stop their march towards a dream hat trick. Apart from Australia, every other team (i.e.; England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa) have equal chance to win the WC 2007. Any of the above mentioned team can make Aussies pay for their mistakes on the certain day. So, I would say that, India has equal chance of winning the World Cup 2007 as any other Top 7 team, with Aussies being the Favorites.

They'll lose a bunch of matches because of bad batting, then wrongly sack Dravid and bring back Ganguly, which will only make things worse. The coaching staff will quit or be sacked after a first-round world cup exit, Tendulkar will average about 15 and retire, Sehwag will continue to expand his waistline to the point where he is banned because he blocks the view of the fielders.

Today's bad phase cannot be considered as end of Indian Cricket.  India will defenitely come out of the present bad form and come back strongly in the world cup 2007.

NO WAY.\n\nINDIA WILL REACH SEMIS ONLY.\n\nTHAT TOO HAPPEN FOR COMMERCIAL RESONS.\n\nIF INDIA LOOSE EARLY, THE TV VIEWERSHIP WILL FALL ALARMINGLY DOWN.\n\nSO, INDIA WILL "BROUGHT-UP" FOR UPTO SEMI-FINALS.

They'll do okay. Won't make it 2 far, but they'll show us what their made of. - - You can't underestimate any teams in the WC. Every team in the tournament is good, that's why their there...ya dig!

India will gain valuable experience for the world cups on the ground where they are supposed to play. It would immensly help them to prepare for the world cup. I feel india will win the test and ODI series.

so many questions...\n\nfirstly a suggestion.(for your own benefit) please don't put abusive statements (like you have done)or someone will report you for abuse..\n\ndon't worry i haven't..\n\nnow your answers...India has a future, a bright one. but yes there are hinderances (i sound like an astrologer. hee.hee..). it may sound cliched but yes corruption and poverty need to be removed at any cost. we need to unite and rise above caste based politics..\nit might win the fifa world cup. but definitely not in the near future. because india has a long way to go as far as football is concerned and due attention has to be given to this sport. the value of rupee will surely rise as the position of india in the world economy is becoming stronger.. \nNO PAKISTAN DOESN'T SUCK..\n( I AM AN INDIAN)\nits just the terrorists and the fundamentalists there who suck..(same applies for india).\nIndia is already on the path of becoming a super power\nINDIA ROCKS AND I LIKE BOLLYWOOD..\n\nAND YES.. I AM MAD..JUST LIKE YOU

Yes .They will learn a lesson from this defeat and they will perform well in the upcomming series as well as the world cup.I wish them to do so.And the loss of the little master Sachin Tendulkar is a great loss to the indians also.so if he eturn soon the indian cricket team will get a relief.

It is impossible by the captainship of Rahul & coaching of Greg chapell. If Ganguly is the captain it may be possible.\nAt least they will go to the semi-final or final.\nThe team will be for world cup 2007:-\n1.V.shewag\n2.S.Tendulkar\n3.R.dravid(V.C)\n4.S.Ganguly(C)\n5.Y.Singh\n6.M.Kaif\n7.M.dhoni(w)\n8.I.Pathan\n9.H.Singh\n10.Z.Khan\n11.A.kumble\n12.A.Agarkar\n13.V.V.S Laxman    \n14.M.Patel\n15.A.Nehera\n16.S.Raina
