India should Open with Yusuf Pathan and take a chance... If it clicks we can easily get a good tota with Dravid and Dhoni coming late. My Batting Order Yusuf , Tendulkar , Raina, Yuvraj,Abhisek Nayar,Dravid,Dhoni
dhoni.......a first indian political captain in indian team.time to time he side the all best profermer becuse he is not high light his own proformance in team.
I agree that Dravid is the great batsman of all formats of game... but for modern cricket he must improve his strike rate... 80-90 strike rate required for one day...only saving wickets is not enough...I am a Dravid supporter..ofcourse... Dravid ..Please....

Totally agree , another dravid supporter here . I want Dravid to really put some good effort and not waste this oppurtunity ...afterall he is India's best test cricketer along with Tendlya
Take Karthik out of team.Play Abishek Nayar or even mishra. Karthik only can score 20 runs max which nayar/mishra can score and also they can bowl. By seeing karthik finding difficult to face the ball the opppsite team get encouraged and geared up so that they are firing on all batsman. Yusuf Pathan should open.If he clicks then he is unstoppable. Raina at 3,Yuv at 4,Dravid at 5,Dhoni at 6,Nayar at 7,Bhaji,Ishant,RP/Nehra or Praveen to follow. Open the bowling with Ishant. and the fielding have to spot on. Yuvi have to be at important positions Point when fasties are on/Short third man or fine leg when spinners are on. Dravid should field in the inner ring. Boundary fielders should be sachin/fast bowlers and Pathan

Another option is take Nayar & replace Dhoni with kartik as kartik is better wicketkeeper than dhoni. also kartik can score 20-30 runs which dhoni can't at top of order. Dhoni can be made non playing captan as he can give good speech in presentation ceremony.
