Any team can win the world-cup - based on form (at that time).
But I do believe a few changes in the Indian team are in order.
Don't you think that even if there are no fielders, Kaif is unlikely to clear the in-field ?! He clearly does not have the strength ! Even if he strikes the ball with ALL his might - it is unlikely to reach the fence ! As for his fielding - we all saw his faulty technique while standing at forward short-leg (jumping when the ball hit the bat - rather than just staying still) - dropping a reasonably easy catch ! So - why even keep him in the team ?! All he can do is TRY and stay at the crease ! That too unsuccessful most times ! How long can we go by the Natwest win ?! Enough please ! DROP him ! Get back VVS Laxman instead - that immediately adds class to the team !
Next - did you notice Sachin's body language on the field during the match against Aus ? He clearly looked extremely tense - & never for once looked like he was enjoying the game - NOT ONE smile ! The Sachin of old was always bubbly & a picture of enjoyment - That is now clearly gone ! He now looks like a desperate stickler to the team - keen only on holding his place - (contd...)
