I was suggesting that the 15th player could be anyone out of those 4 blokes. Though aussies would not( or i might add should not) pick seven quickes, Haddin is the most sensible choice as he can keep in less important games giving gilly some rest and he is also a damn good batsman.

Who would you open with for india? I would go for the most successfull opening pair in history of odi cricket,Tendulkar-Ganguly. Dhoni should be the floater.

Another strong line-up. Particular in the top 5 batmen where I think World Cups are won. Is Sehwag really in doubt, "subject to form", though?

That's not very relevant. India needs Tendulkar in the middle-order and Uthappa or Gambhir should be good enough at the top.

Are you serious? He's been ridiculously inconsistent throughout his career and dreadful of late.
The only reason he has a chance is his "match-winning ability" and his performance last year in the West Indies.

Yes I'm serious. The dropping of Sehwag for the West Indies series was always a temporary measure

Hey guys how is sinclair doing at the domestic circuit, i really liked the look of him when he broke into the international arena with a double century, but he never really backed his talent with consistent good performances.

Personally I would take Andre Adams for spot 15 and agree with the other 14 names. However some doubt over Kyle Mills, and I would be surprised if Michael Mason was not to be selected if Mills was ruled out.

You mean doubts about Mills fitness or form?

I would love nothing more than for Chris Harris to go but can't see it really

Hasn't harris retired or is he still playing at the domestic level. Though one thing i strongly believe is that chris cairns should have only retired after the world cup.
