Finch and David Hussey walk out, Ashwin to bowl for Chennai. Finch absolutely hammered Ashwin earlier on before being undone by the spinner’s carrom ball.
Anyone of a bunch of teams can win this wc. Eng, aus, sa, SL, PAK, india, all. India has tiny advantage in batting but a major disadvantage in bowling.home turf may be another factor.
U missed key element, that only happens in T20 and unfortunately for India this is ODI but I agree in a sense that Indian bolwers are dispatched around the ground like they are bowling in T20 :)

another disadvantage for India is that they are a denial team....
many other insignificant teams are picking themselves up and moving on with bigger punches....

Wrong !! Dhoni has already accepted publicly that his team's fielding and bowling sucks :D
NO ONE has acknowledged that. Dont put tongue in other people’s mouth. In fact ICC’s operation manager has criticized Dhoni by saying that he should read the rule book. EVEN if law is wrong, it should have been pointed out before WC and its wrong for everyone unlike umpires who sometimes are selectively wrong…

DRS is a system designed by humans, and it follows the Garbage In Garbage Out logic. Yes, Lorgat pointed out the 2.5 m rule but the fact of the matter is that the ball would have hit the middle stump half way down. Even with margin of error, Bowden should have overturned the DRS ruling since umpires have the power to do so.
I am just saying that if this rule was so controversial, BCCI / Dhoni should have objected before WC.
secondly, its fauly for all team so that levels the ground once again.
Here is what Smith said (SA Captain)
"I am fine with it because it was communicated to us. I understood the rule so whether you agree or disagree with it, that's the way we were told it was going to be in this tournament. It's pretty simple I guess, you know what to expect."
As Nasser Hussain pointed out on television after the Ian Bell incident
*"Indian fans (board and playes : this is added by me :D ) must figure out which side of the line they stand on: they can't support their team's scepticism about ball-tracking technology, and also use the projection provided by the same technology to fulminate against the Bell decision"
