What is your ODI 15 (or 16) squad for South Africa series?

[fineleg]

I think there will be no 'resting' of seniors for the SA ODI squad. Full strength 15 for the SA ODI series. Who is your 15? 1. Tendulkar 2. Sehwag 3. Gambhir 4. Virat Kohli 5. Yuvraj Singh 6. MSD 7. Suresh Raina 8. Harbhajan Singh 9. Zaheer Khan 10. Munaf Patel 11. Praveen Kumar 12. Nehra (Do we keep Ishant or Sreesanth instead!?) 13. R. Ashwin 14. Murali Vijay 15. Saurabh Tiwary?? 16. Parthiv Patel? Dinesh Karthik? Yusuf Pathan? Ravi Jadeja? (hope not, but I'm sure selectors will get R.Jadeja :crazy4:) or extra seamer - Ishant Sharma or Sreesanth?? and no P.Ojha for SA pitches

I would not let Sachin Tendulkar open because South Africa's biggest strength is Dale Steyn and there weaknesses are in the spin department (Middle order) 1. Sehwag 2. Gambhir 3. Dravid 4. Tendulkar 5. Kohli 6. Yurvraj Singh 7. Raina 8. Harby 9. Munaf Patel 10.Zak 11.Praveen Kumar 10 overs from Kumar,Zak,Harby Singh,Pathan.Sehwag

Dravid has not played an ODI for the last 15 months. and you also missed Captain Dhoni in the team.

Am not going to include Raina, last time he was a part of our ODI squad in SA and he played few matches, he got out exactly the same way as he did here. No improvemnt in last 4 years on his technique. But an outstanding player he is on subcontinent tracks.

Am not going to include Raina' date=' last time he was a part of our ODI squad in SA and he played few matches, he got out exactly the same way as he did here. No improvemnt in last 4 years on his technique. But an outstanding player he is on subcontinent tracks.[/quote'] there is difference between tests and odis,raina is a must in odi cricket for every conditions

[Sachin=GOD]

there is difference between tests and odis' date='raina is a must in odi cricket for every conditions[/quote'] yeah and these are the last ODIs we will play before the World Cup, so all the players who are a certainty in the World Cup squad (and Raina IMO is one of them) should definitely play in these last 5 ODIs before World Cup.

[Andy]

there is difference between tests and odis' date='raina is a must in odi cricket for every conditions[/quote'] What happened the last time Raina toured SA? Wasnt those ODI's?

He was not a mature odi cricketer at that time and also whole team was struggling during that series,he has a set role in the side now and a very important odi cricketer for India ATM

1. Tendulkar 2. Sehwag 3. Gambhir 4. Virat Kohli 5. Yuvraj Singh 6. MSD 7. Suresh Raina/Pathan (both would not be much effective in SA conditions to be frank) 8. Harbhajan Singh 9. Zaheer Khan 10. Nehra (he might be very effective in these conditions with his swing) 11. Praveen Kumar (he also might be very good) Rest four can be any random four Maybe Ishant, Munaf, Pathan and Tiwary .. replace by any four and it would hardly make any difference

[Sooda]

No Ishant or Sree for ODI series' The squad should be pretty much exactly what the WC squad will be... SRT VS GG YS MSD SR YP HS ZK PK MP AN RA PP VK
