With the Eng-Ind series done, its safe to say that the Experiment part is done. The team that plays the WI ODIs and the Aus tri series has to be the team that is going to play the world cup. Sure a little room remains to experiment, but all said and done, I think that its time to start looking at the world cup team. So who would make the 15. Here is the team that I feel would be going to Australia. Would love your views, and would also welcome you to post your sides. (Would request you all to be a bit realistic - I would like Sehwag in the team, but thats not happening, is it?)
In this list, I feel 11 players walk into the squad, and there are some (in bold) that I would eventually put into the squad, but who don't exactly walk into the side.
Batsmen
Openers
1) Rohit - (As much as I hate him, lets be honest, he will on the plane)
2) Dhawan
Middle - Order
3) Kohli
4) Rahane - (Also Reserve Opener)
5) Rayudu - Reserve
6) Yuvraj - Reserve
Batting All-Rounders
7) Raina
8) Jadeja
Wicket-Keepers
9) MS Dhoni
10) Sanju Samson (I would go for Ojha, but with Samson in England that call seems made)
Bowlers
Spinners
11) R Ashwin
(With Jadeja and Raina in the team, I don't think more spinners are required, especially on Aussie Pitches)
Seamers
12) Bhuvaneshwar Kr
13) Md. Shami - (It seems he is the only one who can bowl at final overs)
14) Ishant
15) Varun Aaron
Preferred XI -
Rohit (Rahane)
Dhawan
Kohli
Rahane (Yuvraj)
Raina
MS Dhoni
Jadeja
R Ashwin
Bhuvaneshwar
Md. Shami
Ishant
(This is the team that I think will play, but the names in brackets are players who I would personally prefer to play. So I would personally like Rahane to open, and Yuvraj to bat at 4, but I do realise that is not going to happen)
