India would emerge as the runaway winners if they play to their potential and not worry about their opponents Zimbabwe in the upcoming two-match cricket test series, according to vice-captain Rahul Dravid."If we play good cricket, we should win," Dravid said in the run-up to the first test beginning here on Tuesday."We have got to play good cricket, focus on ourselves and not worry about the opposition. It is very important from our point of view to win the tests against Zimbabwe and win them well," he added.Dravid acknowledged the quality of Heath Streak and captain Tatenda Taibu in the opposition ranks but also admitted that they knew little about the rest of the team."Streak and Taibu have been around for a while, they have got some experience. But, to be honest, we don’t know much about the other cricketers."Dravid felt the wickets at Bulawayo and Harare would be similar to the track they played in Mutare against the Board President’s eleven over the weekend. In that respect, he believed the three-day warm up game was a good work-out for his side. "It was a good three days from our point of view. Anil Kumble bowled a good spell. For people like Balaji who have not played for a while, it was good to have a go in these conditions. In the end it was a good work-out."Dravid also spoke in Defence of Zaheer Khan and Balaji who struggled for rhythm in Mutare and did not look good with either their line or length.Zim drops four playersBULAWAYO: Zimbabwe have dropped four players from the team that lost both tests against New Zealand for the two-test series against India starting in Bulawayo on Tuesday.Stuart Carlisle and Wishart, who have both have had their contracts revoked after a dispute with Zimbabwe Cricket, were among the four players to be axed.
