Cricket World Cup

The one thing that this world cup has shown so far is Ganguly's success with captaincy was not fluke.
The guy knows what he's talking about unlike Gavaskar and Shastri. The team Dhoni is leading has only couple talents that burst into the scene after Ganguly was dropped. Dhoni has always been biased with Yuvraj. Since you decided to go with part time bowlers Raina makes better sense then Gambhir as he could have bowled also. Dhoni's captaincy to me is Azhar version 2.

Dhoni has not groomed any new talents other Ashwin who he is not keen to play for some reason. I still think it's Australia's cup at this point in this tournament. England may be the surprise package from here due to a couple of crucial replacements who should have been in the original team. Tremlett with his height might be able to extract a bit more bounce and Eoin may be the impetus they miss in the middle order.

Pakistan needs to open with Razaq and go with Wahab and Ajmal, they might be better that way. Sri Lanka and West Indies are my under dogs.
