Coming to the business end of the world cup,it will be depth of the bowling that can determine the outcome in crunch matches.I feel Aus,Pak,India are the best three bowling attacks followed by NZ,Eng.

Aus:

With Addition of Big B to their already potent seaming bowling attack of Starc and Cummins,Australia have the best seam bowling attack.The inclusion of Lyon has making a difference to their spind option. The problem could be of the fifth bowling option,but still Stoinis much reliable option than Maxwell.

Pak:
The pace attack Amir,Shaheen,Wahab clearly making their mark for them.It is now well rounded attack with good new ball and old options.Shadab's wrist spin and their fifth bowling options(Imad/Hafeez) is lot better what other teams can offer.

India:
India is in good with both pace and spin options hence better allround better bowling team,but their fifth option is lot weaker to compared to other teams.

NZ& Eng:
They have some good pace options but they lack that quality in spin options,this can be issue with pitches slowing considerably.
 
India's fifth bowler is Hardik Pandya, I don't think he is weaker than Grandhomme and Needham. You are confusing India's 6th options who are Kedar and Vijay Shankar. Kohli doesn't even need to bowl them like against Afghanistan.
 
Weak links will be targeted.

You need 5 proper bowlers, as part-timers will go for plenty.
 
I think we got fooled by the flat English pitches before the tournament. We could have definitely tried Abbas here.

The match against Australia and Even India would have been ideal for someone like him.
