ODIs first, a taster for the 'main event' means the players will be well up for it instead of barely turning up after a Test series. The month gap will mean both sides (ODI/Test) can focus on the job in hand.

I guess it depends upon how succesful our world cup campaign is

Yeah, I gotta agree that its a big positive having the ODI's first. It means that the ODI Series isn't just a tag along at the end of a test series, where people dont really mind if they lose the ODI's and where the players are tired.
