What would you change in the England ODI side?

So, after an impressive series win over Sri Lanka there is obviously a fairly long gap before the India series. What, if anything, would you change for that series?

Personally I would keep much of it the same, barring injuries. Anderson, Bresnan, Swann and Dernbach have done enough to stay in the side and I'm happy with Broad/Patel as a 5th bowler depending on conditions. Pietersen is living on very thin ice but I am inclined to give him one final chance to impress in the next series, regardless of how he goes in the Tests. The only change I would make is to give young James Taylor a go at number 6 in place of Ian Bell. The reason for this is that I see Bell and Trott as our two options for number 3 and both are no good at 6. Trott is the 'owner' of the number 3 position at the moment and so Bell will have to wait his turn, imo.

So that leaves:

Cook
Kieswetter
Trott
Pietersen
Morgan
Taylor
Patel/Broad
Bresnan
Swann
Anderson
Dernbach


What would you do?

My team would be:

Cook
Kieswetter
Trott
Morgan
Hildreth
Pietersen (Batting at 6 will give him more freedom to play his shots)
Patel/Broad
Bresnan
Swann
Dernbach
Anderson

Morgan shouldn't be top 4 for me, he is one of if not the best finisher in ODI's atm

For me:

Cook (c)
Kieswetter/Davies (wk)
Bell
Hildreth
Morgan
Patel
Wright
Bresnan
Swann
Anderson
Dernbach/Broad

my team:

1)Alistair Cook (C)
2)Craig Kieswetter (WK)
3)Jonathon Trott
4)KP
5)Ian Bell
6)Eoin Morgan
7)Luke wright
8)Graeme Swann
9)Stuart Broad
10)Chris Woakes
11)James Anderson

Batting at 4 would give him more time to play himself in and then play his shots. Some big scores from him could be on the way if he batted at 4.

morgan should be 5 or 6 to play the finisher role

Gregers - your team looks very light in the batting department given that Patel and Wright have hardly impressed me when batting for us in the past.

Gregers
you still have doubts over kieswetter?His List A record is better than that of davies and he has done well against sri lanka.

and scored 150 for Somerset today aginst Notts in 4 day punishing Broad

Arul Suppiah, out 2nd ball to Broad......

Replace Bell with someone else at 6. Also look at possible replacements for KP. Finally, give Patel and good run in the team.

My team would be:

Cook
Kieswetter
Trott (Not really in fan, but in cracking form)
KP
Morgan
Jimmy Taylor
Patel
Bresnan
Swann
Anderson
Dernbach

colly for his bowling

lol

Something like:

01 Cook
02 Kieswetter
03 Trott
04 Taylor
05 Morgan
06 Stokes
07 Patel
08 Bresnan
09 Swann
10 Broad
11 Anderson

6 bowling options yet 1-7 are all batsmen by trade.

If either of Pietersen and Bell get dropped, they can have no complaints. Bell isn't a 6, but I still expected better from him.

Dernbach did alright. Maybe have Anderson is good conditions and Dernbach in flatter conditions?

Taylor and Stokes look fine prospects whilst Patel offers a good second spin option.
