Won't be favourites, so no. They won't win it but that will be due to not having two spinners of any quality.
India and Sri Lanka should be very difficult to beat.

I will so miss the WC games that were to be in Pakistan....honestly....its quite emotional...

It doesn't matter. They will only in fight and play like they have played a game of cricket in their lives. I think we can write them off.

I wonder how many players who play in 2010/11 will have played in a World Cup that has not been won by Australia?
Presuming Tendulkar (who played in 1991/92 and 1995/96) plays, I'll be surprised if he's not the only one.

Gun team, selection (i.e. non-selection of Styris) and injury will prevent it from getting on the park

Jayasuriya (providing he gets picked) and Murali?

Yes, he debuted in 1994. Played in the game where they somehow lost to Kenya in Pune.

While liked the look of the Indian team at around the time of the CB series, we aren't as good now. Unless our bowling improves drastically it is going to be tough. I stil dream of Sachin holding the WC at Mumbai. Would be a dream come true, but don't see that happening actually.
Really hope Kohli comes good and consistent. It would be a big help if he does that. One thing I dread about the WC is mammoth scores in every match and record chases left right and center. The boundaries should be pulled back. It will at least help the Indian bowlers.
As for favourites, hard to look past Australia. The way dealt with Pakistan and WI was exemplary. I am pretty sure if India had played the same 2 series, the best we would have got would be a 3-2 against Pak and 3-1 against WI.

It's a batsmans game so you would have to fancy India or Australia. Personally I would go for Australia who have the better bowling attack. The Indian spinners look less and less impressive every time I see them.
Tucked in behind the top 2 are the Saffers and Sri Lanka, who both have match wining batsman.
Outsiders West Indies if Gale works out which end of the bat to hold.

If this is the answer, I assume the question was "which 11 players are least likely to win the 2011 world cup"
