So that completes my XI, Fleming and Boon to open the innings for my team, and de Silva at three provides plenty of solidarity to my top-order, they might not give the team the most dynamic of starts, but they would set a solid base nonetheless.
Likes of Clarke, Yuvraj and Boucher are likely to inject momentum into the innings, and Mark Boucher was an easy choice as keeper for me once Dhoni and Gilchrist were off the shelves.
Boucher not only is a superb keeper, he is a very good lower order bat and a very good finisher of the innings, Bravo, Streak and Lee are all likely to provide depth to the lower order batting and can also use the long handle to good effect.
Would have gone for a batsman as my final pick instead of Bravo, but didn't want to depend on on Clarke, Yuvraj or de Silva to chip in as fifth bowler.
The bowling side of things would be lead by Lee, who would share the new ball with Zaheer, forming a potent left and right arm new ball opening combination.
Streak and Kumble are going to be my 1st and 2nd change bowlers respectively and Bravo would be the fifth bowler, he is pretty good with death bowling, with his ability to mix the pace well and bowl good yorkers.
Stephen Fleming is going to captain my side, one of the best and longest serving captain ever in the history of the game, and i am sure he would marshall the resources quite well imo.

Yeah, Nath has got an awesome bowling line-up there and two of the best ODI all-rounders too in Fred and Kallis, his team is likely to kick some serious ass imo...

For my 12th Man, I wanted someone who was an electric fielder; someone who can turn a game with a catch or a run out.
To that end, I have selected Colin Bland. The man himself really pre-dates one-dayers, but he was the greatest all-round fielder of all time - completing run outs and taking catches. To add to that, he was a very classy middle order batsman (he averaged 35 in the 4 list A games he played, but nearly 50 in test cricket) whilst he could also bowl handy medium pacers (43 first class wickets @ 35).
All in all, if one of my fielders gets injured or needs a toilet break, Colin Bland will massively increase the fielding ability of the team. An easy choice.

12th Man - Colin Bland

Not even as 12th man? That seems a bit harsh given he's not going to bat or bowl, thus meaning the stats are irrelevant? I just want him as a fielder!

The 12th player can come into the starting XI, as my guy is likely to play at home?
Is it my pick or am I still waiting on Heath?

****. I'll have to pick Jeetan Patel then, but I'm pretty disappointed at not being able to pick Bland as a fielder. It makes a huge difference to my game plan of having my bowlers rotate off for 1s and 2s in order for Bland's skill to shine though. Absolutely appalled 
EDIT: How's about Trevor Penney? He never played an ODI as such, but I'm sure I remember him taking the field as 12th man for England in an ODI a couple of years ago?

12th Man: Chris Harris
Was surprised Sarfraz Nawaz was still available. Will slot in nicely at No 8 and give me a powerful bowling attack. Chris Harris drops back to 12th man and may come in for Jadeja if we need a 5th bowler.

He still needs a 2nd spinner on spinner friendly tracks. Would play him ahead of Agarkar, but that is his call.
