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.

I think that you are right but as say its not the case as you would have seen in the warm up match with netherlands in that how ganguly and shewag got out....
Ganguly playing thr ball going outside and the sehwag always leaving the gap between the bat and leg when the ball is coming in.....
So accordingly we can't say that India would win but India has 60% chances of winning the World Cup....
For Australia it does not mean that if you loose the matches just before the World Cup you have less chances of winning, as the senior players were given rest for the world cup....
I basically doubt the Shewag and Ganguly way of playing as they always get out in the same way and don't try to overcome that problem....
Dravid is no doubt called The Wall but the wall suits in the test-matches but in the one-dayers we need him as he can stay on wicket while the other player is falling but he should also improve his techniques for one-dayers and should not use the same in test as well as one-dayer....
I can't say for the bowling squad of India as i didn't watched the warm up match fully but as seen in the matches before the bowl squad has only 3-4players who are all right but always can't go with them only.....
And one more think if a bowler plays one game well then it doesn't not mean that we should bring him up in the order in the very next match....
