I was dissapointed in Shoaib Aktar's performance and stamina so Ntini in for him.
I'd like to see Chris Gayle open with Sehwag and Lara to come in at number 3, i feel your best batsmen must come in at first drop and set the pace, so Lara at number 3 for me. I'd drop Dravid for Afridi as i feel with Kallis we don't need another grafting type player, Afridi offers a bit more in the one day game.
I feel for the betterment of the team Sangakkara can bat down the order, nothing wrong with his performance in game 1, in fact it was outstanding in a badly beaten side, its just one of those decisions where the overall strength of the team takes priority.
Flintoff will improve as the series goes on and i thought the 2 spinners were outstanding.
1. Sehwag
2. Gayle
3. Lara
4. Kallis
5. Pietersen
6. Sangakkara
7. Flintoff
8. Pollock
9. Vettori
10. Muralitharan
11. Ntini
Sub. Afridi
