India very dangerous side: Ponting

Australia’s two-time World Cup winning captain Ricky Ponting on Wednesday said India were a ‘very dangerous’ team and a serious contender to retain the coveted trophy. “India have got too many class players in their team to not be serious contenders at some stage. If they happen to play as well as they can, they are very dangerous. I think they will get better, it was a very encouraging start for them the other day, although I thought it was a pretty weak Pakistani side,” Ponting was quoted as saying by bccitv.com, refering to India's emphatic win over Pakistan in the lung-opener on Sunday.
