India's batting relies too heavily on Yuvraj and Dhoni.
Fortunately, they have delivered so far....but if for once they don't, we will find Pathan and Harbhajan in the middle pretty quickly considering our long tail.
So , in my opinion....Kartik should make way for Sehwag or Rohit Sharma. I would prefer Rohit, given that he is also a very good fielder (which India needs desperately) but I am 100% sure they would still go for Sehwag.
As for Pak, the whole team is studded with aggressive ODI kind batsmen (esp if Yaseer Hameed is also included). Any kind of target is not safe against this Pak batting.

Thought you had me didn’t you? But unfortunately the joke is on you. Take a look at the players in the two situations. They are the same ; just the batting line up is different …

where are the timezone converted schedules? Does the thread opener not know the standard for opening a match thread? Please lock this thread and have Someone open a new one.

^ I wonder how Pakistan manages to lose ODIs inspite of such a tailor-made ODI team (as listed above).
You have as many as 9 players who can bat. Even Akhtar can tonk the ball.
Afridi , Imran Nazir, Malik, Misbah and Butt are all quintessential ODI players...who can score aggressively when needed (and sometimes even when not needed :)).
Younis and Yousuf are there to provide any stability required.
And you have three great fast bowlers : Akhtar, Gul and Tanvir.
Aur kyaa chahiye.
The only problems with this Pak ODI Team is wicket-keeping and fielding in general....that's it.
