A contest to savour and settle a longstanding debate

There is a lot of talk as to whether the Indian seniors really have it in them to make it to the One-day 11. The selectors did not think so and hence did not include them in the one-day CB series down under which India won.
What would be great for Indian cricket and what would also help settle this debate is a 3-match one day series between the victorious Indian one day and an Indian team made of seniors and other players who could not make it to that team.
Dhoni's victorious Indian team from:
Tendulkar
Uthappa
Gambhir
Rohit Sharma
Yuvraj
Dhoni (Capt/wk)
Pathan
Ishant
Harbhajan
Praveen Kumar
Sehwag
Indian team made of seniors and others not considered for the CB Series from:
Jaffer
Ganguly
Dravid (wk)
Laxman
Mohd. Kaif
Rohan Gavaskar
Anil Kumble (Capt)
Dinesh Mongia
Murali Kartik
Agarkar
Zaheer Khan
Balaji
The senior team would give Dhoni's boys a run for their money. Now imagine if Tendulkar was to play for the seniors.
