Rest the injured and half-injured players. Get Tendulkar and Dravid for the series. (, and if needed get Kumble out of retirement. Jumbo can be useful with experience in Windies :winky:)

[h4te]

yeah sure, let's bring back Gavaskar & everyone else and take a giant step backwards :headshake: we lose one series, and everyone goes OTT * OTT at best, give chance to youngsters if the likes of Dhoni & co. can't (or don't want to) play. Dhoni NEEDS rest. Zak/Ishant SHOULD be rested for these masala ODIs. The rest can go play. Maybe Raina can be given a break long enough to practice against short pitch bowling (not practice/get out in India matches :hehe: :P).

Bring Atul Sharma

[Desi Cartman]

Bring Atul Sharma

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: he got injured even before playing in fact I think he got injured even b4 bowling in the nets

[Anakin]

Bring Atul Sharma

He's a myth Would love to see RSD back in the ODI team, at least he can score faster than Mr. Craptain.

That's what you get for being unIndian :finger:

Sehwag at 4?Are you alright?

Its just another option imo. Sehwag has said before he prefers to bat in the middle order, although I completely understand the advantages of Sehwag opening, in which case my top 6 would be Sehwag Tendulkar Gambhir Raina Yuvraj Dhoni For the lower order ... I think the key is that India need to get the balance right. I think they need 3 pacemen and 2 spinners. In the past, that has been the best balance for them in ODIs outside India. How they go about this I think should depend on the all-rounder selected. * If the all-rounder is Irfan Pathan: - Then the 2 spinners should be the specialists Ojha and Bhajji and the 2 pacemen should include 1 right armer and 1 left-armer, so probably Praveen and Zaheer. * If the all-rounder is Yusuf Pathan: - Then only 1 specialist spinner needs to be selected, and since Yusuf Pathan (and Sehwag aswell) brings the ball into the right-hander, you need a spinner who can bring it away. Thus ... Ojha should get picked over Bhajji. - In this case, 3 specialist pacemen should get picked and they should be RP, Praveen and Zaheer. * If the all-rounder is Ravindra Jadeja: - Then again only 1 specialist spinner needs to be selected, and since Jadeja brings it away from the right hander, you need a spinner who can bring it in. Thus ... Bhajji should get picked. Again, in this case the 3 specialist pacemen should be RP, Praveen and Zaheer. If we're looking at right-arm fast bowlers, I think the stock-pile is limited at the moment with just Praveen, Ishant, Munaf (depending on how he turns up)and possibly Balaji. I think its something that India need to look at.

[bharat297]

Your squad for the Windies series? No Sachin, No Sehwag ... so what squad would you take over there now? It may not be the popular viewpoint (since some people on ICF love to change the side every 2 games), but I would actually take the same squad that went to England and lost over to the West Indies. I think its an important lesson in character for these young players, who have achieved a great deal of success in the past 2 years and havent really had to experience a crushing loss like this. Lets see how they respond to the defeat and how well they can comeback. My side for the first ODI would be: Gambhir Rohit Raina Yuvraj Dhoni Yusuf Irfan Harbhajan Ojha Praveen / Zaheer RP Singh Reserves: D. Karthik, Ishant, Kohli / Jadeja (I'd probably pick Kohli over Jadeja)

Isn't Manish Pandey a wise choice for this squad??? He may be far better than some of the current batsmen.

he is good, did very well in the 3 matches he played but i don't think the selectors would pick him on the basis of just 3 T20 games

[Shane]

Same T20 squad, Kohli in place of Viru.
