Your analysis is better than that of Captain and Coach, who favor big name rather than ground reality. If WC is Mahabharat, than Dravid is Dhirishtrastra.
One modification - Dinesh Karthik is better than Sachin. Not only Sahwag, but Sachin too is culprit, who play with such a slow run-rate that it creates a pressure on next batsman. Now a day he plays to beg a place in the team. Let kept him outside the team, he will also gain his form like Ganguly. Dinesh Karthik is playing with better determination than Sachin or Sahwag and deserve a place in final 11.
Selecting Team India should be very easy after the intial matches..Below should be the team for next two macthes..(only Two matches.coz Team will any how return back to India..

why is robin uthappa out, i think harbahajan is not needed. He is not like going to run thru a team. yuvraj and sachin can bowl some spin. Robin shd bein and Harbhajan out.
Btw why sacrifice Robin, why not tendulkar who played much worse than him.

any team without Veeru and Schin will perform better. with these guys india is effectively playing only with 9 players

It was the batting which was bad , why are u putting in more bowlers. Just because they are familiar names.
