Onto the ODI's now.
Can't speak from an indian POV, haven't seen them play enough ODI cricket recently.
From an AUS POV, reckon wey'll see the safe bet of
1.Inglis/Warner?
2.Head
3.Smith
4.Marnus/Green/Inglis
5.Marsh
6.Carey
7.Maxwell
8.Green/Agar/Ellis/Abbott
9.Zampa
10.Starc
11.Cummins
Last time we toured ASIA in LOI green was used as a #8 bowling all-rounder, don't see them changing that given that marsh is fit and green has taken wickets consistently in the ODI's he's played since then. Unsure of warner's fitness given he also broke an arm when he got concussed in the second test I think? Agar may start over green depending on conditions, unsure exactly how the selectors will approach SC conditions given that agar wasn't fit when we last played ODI's.
If I was picking an ideal team I'de go
1.Warner/Inglis
2.Head
3.Smith
4.Green/Inglis
5.Marsh/Green
6.Carey
7.Maxwell
8.Agar
9.Cummins
10.Starc
11.Zampa
Not much different. just wouldn't play marnus. Don't rate his ODI game in general or particularly in ASIA. Green gives us more bowling diversity and inglis has a higher cieling than either in LOI IMO in terms of destructive ability.

IMO the number one side should host the number two ranked side. Gives advantage to the team that presumably played better over the past two years and keeps it hopefully rotating. So this one should be in Aus for example. In my ideal scenario it would be a three test series with first one played at home of #2 and the second two at home of the #1 seed but that will never happen given $$$$ and scheduling the way it stands. Teams would have to keep a large window open every two years which would be financially difficult.
Honestly people like to categorize subcontinent vs SENA but there is enough variety in each of those places as to make them very different and I’d like to see home advantage with a home crowd rather than a lot of neutrals - it feels much more sanitized having it that way.

Aus must be chuffed to play India in England. Can't seem to beat them anywhere else anyway

Should be at Lords every time imho, but if it isn’t and it’s moved around junk grounds in England it may as wel go to junk grounds elsewhere

More so 2 or 3 good years away from home.

Yep I agree. WTC final should be held at Lord's, the home of cricket.

Oh well, India did end of story. Can't reverse the past.

Ashwin 36, Lyon 35, Jadeja 34. Probable that Jadeja could play since he also doubles up as a batsman but little chance for the other two.

Not necessarily. Depends on the local conditions.
By that I mean the normal conditions, not manufactured conditions.

Anderson says 'pfft'.
That's nonsense mate - it's much more to do with the climate.
Ian Chappell once said in England when you win the toss, you look up not down, to decide whether to bat or not and he's right.
Coming from an Aussie the cheating comment ????????

I am mostly only active during Indian home series vs Australia and vs England. Hardly active for big away series for India, except South Africa away! (I was inactive for the last two BG series in Australia).
So just 3-4 series involving India, in total.
I might post a bit during Australian summer if they are having a big series (like Ashes/SA). That is it. Never really active for any other series, including ashes in uk. Even WCs, I am usually inactive.
