India have bowling issues too, but they could have hitters from 1-8 (well, except Dravid I guess) in the batting line up so should be worth watching.

Dravid is quite underrated when it comes to his ability to up the ante. When needed, he is quite capable of scoring at a very quick clip. He has one of the fastest 50s ever in ODIs (in about 23 balls or something againt the Kiwis a couple of years ago). But he usually comes out into the middle when India is looking to preserve wickets while scoring say 5 runs an over. There is hardly anyone in the world better than him at that particular task.
Obviously, I am a huge Dravid fan so you can take all of that with a grain of salt.
