No it wasn't. Australia 2003,2007. SA of 2015. WI of 75,79. These were some of the strongest teams. Maybe Bowling was better but batting wasn't. Gill was playing first WC, Surya the lappebaz was in XI which in itself was shameful. And it doesn't even matter. India were convincingly thrashed in final. We ended on the same page as other teams excpet Australia regardless winning the group stage matches. Nobody remembers it after few years excpet channel production house.
