First of all, Indian team has only paper tigers and then there are ppl suggesting return of ganguly who now a days cannot boast anything on paper let alone real situations. About the current Team this is the weakest team excluding zimbabave and some newbie teams. There is not a single player who can boast consistency against quality bowling in the recent past(that includes tendulkar too). Under such circumstances it is impossible to have some hope for the worldcup. A good team for the world cup with a very very slim chance to make it to semi final
1) Tendulkar (No choice....he is the best among the worst) 2) Dravid (Need somebody to protect batsman after him) 3) VVS Laksman (can bat well in foriegn bouncy conditions) 4) Dhoni 5) Gautam Gambhir (No sehwag... ten 10s and one 100 means a very horrible average and least contribution but 10 30s and one 50 is a lot better) 6) Yuvraj 7) pathan (batting option....may get lucky bowling). 8) zaheer ( has made good in foriegn conditions recently) 9) Agarkar (always dependable abroad) 10) Nehra (same as agarkar) 11) harbajan (No kumble....only one lion can live in a forest not two.)
