The team I have here is arranged in the batting order I would like to see in the World Cup.
My strategy for the World Cup is pretty simple. Blast at the start. I have the most exciting pair of Sehwag and Uthappa to open the
innings. In case of a early wicket the storm wont stop with Ganguly
following up. And yes if it doesn't (we would have won the match Ganguly is experienced enough to play steady. Then I have in the most experienced middle order of Planet earth. The Combined experience of 684 matches of Sachin and Rahul ensures that according to the requirement they can increase the run rate or steady the ship. My lower middle order is a greatest Combination of Youth and experience. We can achieve any number of runs during the slog overs with Yuvi and Dhoni around. And just in case that
our lower order is required to do the job, the talented Agarkar and the dashing Bhajji are there to do the needful. And yes Zaheer and Kumble are known to hold the fort when required.
With this batting line up I expect to score about 325 every time I take on the field and can chase any target that is set.
For the bolwing as can be seen I have picked Zaheer and Agarkar as my seam attack and am going with both by Spinners cos I expect slow low bouncy tracks. To do the job of the 5th bowler I have a trio of Shewag- Tendulkar and Yuvi. A reasonable attack which I feel can defend any thing that the batting line makes or can make.
Now Plan B: Just in case conditions aren't favourable for the above plan or some players face a lean patch.
If either of Openers fail.. I will get in Irfan. Ganguly can Open and line up gets lifted up by one. If there is a injury in the middle order Karthick/ Kaif can come in
Dhoni get injured/ fails miserably, Karthick is around
If it's a seamers track again I can get Irfan/shre
