Send Tendulkar to open. He has more experience in opening atleast in One-dayers, if indeed Yuvraj has to be accommodated. Dravid is being made the sacrificial goat...

Now, Sehwag can be given a chance to open. The best line up will be Jaffer, Karthik, Dravid, Sachin, Sourav, Laxman, Dhoni/Sehwag/Yuvraj, Irfan/Ishant/Pankaj, Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer. If Sehwag is playing, then Karthik can be the wicket keeper. Now our team does not have a right arm pace bowler for this test match which is a boon for the Australian right hand batsmen

What difference it would make brining in shewag. Still we the 1 down will be like a opener to face the new ball.
The wall is a middle-order batsman. Yuvraj scored a duck thus nullifying the purpose for which Rahul was made to open. Now the Wall might get disoriented as to where he is and where he is heading. If Yuvraj has to be accommodated, he has to open the innings or Sehwag has to be brought back. These half-baked arrangements will result only in these kind of results.

NO.I think its not correct.Because for suppose Dravid is the worst fellow what about the other players.what happend to them. Its quiet common in game.There is no option other than laxman playing such a long innings in test cricket.The thing what we have to do is wishing him for a good form.

A few bad innings and a player becomes a spent force? How many times have we said the same about Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman too and each time they turnaround to prove us wrong.
drop jaffer, dravid, harbhajan - draft in gavaskar, chouhan and ravi sastri - they are readily available and know the conditions well. hurry vengy, do this before it too late!

do you know what these past greats did in Australia. They know only how to comment and especially of others. please check the stats before commenting
RE:in test matches its better to be at crease to out on a duck like dhoni and yuvraj

Yeah and help loose the match for the other team. Thanks and good advice. Keep it to yourself.
At times Dravid was so pathetic today that he would leave the ball even before the ball is bowled. His signature gesture today is leaving the ball outside the off stump.
