Interesting that you've gone with Sehwag/Hayden. I'd rate Smith ahead of both in both Tests and ODIs.
I really like the middle order and bowling attack though; I don't think I'd change that at all, as much as it'd pain me to leave Kallis out.

Smith for Hayden isn't a very bad option as that keeps Ponting away from captaincy. Sehwag will be there in any case because I'd like an ultra-aggressive opener with that middle-order.
If my XI lacks one thing that would be express pace - but I can't help it because Waqar/Donald/Steyn aren't as good ODI bowlers IMO. The only way Kallis can be in the ODI squad is by dropping Flintoff. But I can't bat him at places other than no. 3 or 4. That'll really mess the batting lineup. [Tendulkar/Ponting at no. 5 will both be misfits. And Lara at no. 6 will be a terrible option.]
