Yes, it is for ODIs. Some things I would like to see in this series:
-Yuvraj and Kaif need to prove their mettle with the bat, but they are very important to the team because of the athleticism and energy they bring to the field.
-Keep a 3/4/5 spot reserved for Kaif, another for Dravid and another for Laxman, because those three are essential cogs in the side and aren't as valuable at other positions.
-This means Dhoni will have to shift back down to the 6/7 spot. If Yuvraj is sent to open, India can bring in an all-rounder like JP Yadav at the #7 spot. If Gambhir, Jadhav or someone else is sent to open, Yuvraj can remain at the 6/7 spot.
-Our only secondary bowling options now are Yuvraj and Sehwag, and they cannot be depended on to bowl 10 overs between them on a consistent basis. Thus, an all-rounder like Yadav becomes more important.
Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dravid, Laxman, Kaif, Dhoni, Yadav, Pathan, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Nehra
how's that??
