No one's picked Andy Flower? It's in keeping with the tradition of ROW teams, eg; South Africans playing in world series cricket. The ROW team is the exile's only oppurtunity, and Flower's as classy as they come.

D Vettori
Bench: Razzaq, Jayasuria, Maybe Harmison/Murali if he's willing.
Couple of pre-emptive explanations. Vettori is there to tie the runs up, the games will be played in Aus, and no ODI spinner has really succeeded against Aus at home, but Vettori really seems to frustrate their scoring rate. Bond, probably won't be fit, but absolutely destroyed Australia on their own terms more than twice. Sarwan, may struggle against OZ, but impresses me the most of the West Indians currently in ODI's. Streak has arguably been the most consistent all-rounder in the world the last couple of years, and deserves another taste of international cricket. Akhtar, like Bond, is one of the few pacemen who can do damage against Australia. Tendulkar and Sehwag, in the context, are the best Indian batting options, in my opinion. Pollock, ideally the Pollock of a couple of years ago, but still an incredible talent. Flintoff, unproven against OZ, but he's the pick of the poms right now, and on his last two matches alone I found it impossible to exclude him. Fleming has opened superbly for NZ, and he's the best choice for opposing skipper, I reckon. Razzaq, I know he was unpopular in the other ROW thread, but innings like his 90-odd against NZ made me believe this man could fly under his own power if he really wanted to, I just wish his bowling was as good as it could be. Jayasuria, can turn it on in Australia, simple as that.
Don't want the bench to be too crowded, that's cheating, but I'd love to include Klusener, but he's in his twilight i believe. Dravid, but I still don't think he's a valid ODI option (yes, i saw that 50 against NZ, still). Lara, if it was against any other team, and he's old enough to have been in his share of ROW teams. Guys like Pietersen, or some aussies even, who are stars in FC cricket, but have been as yet unable to play internationally. Hell, lots of others, but I stick by my selection.

I'll stick to my original team here:
Tendulkar
Sehwag
Kallis
Lara
Ganguly (c)
Dravid (wk)
Flintoff
Pollock
Bond
Harmison
Muralitharan
12th Man: Vaas
13th Man: Yuvraj Singh
Dravid is doing an acceptable job atm with wk, so why not 3 more matches.. Esp since he is the 2nd best ODI wk batsman after Gilchrist. And with batting like this, it wont matter if he is responsible for 10 odd byes. He does seem to take all the catches which is more important.
Ganguly makes the team over Fleming/Yuvraj just because he is a brilliant ODI player and a fairly good captain. Fleming would be a better captain, but then i dont believe him to be as good as Ganguly in ODI's as batsman (recent form excluded)

I can't believe that anyone can leave out Chris Gayle, let alone to take Sehwag instead. Gayle is the no. 1 allrounder in the world and one of the top ODI batsmen as well. Stat Focus: CH Gayle
I don't see any room for Lara, as Inzamam has been sublime of late. Ramnaresh Sarwan's record speaks for his inclusion ahead of Yuvraj Singh. Jacob Oram is a very useful player to have there. He's steady with ball and bat.
