Mr. Chappell on a mission

Greg chappel was instructed by the Australian Board to destroy the Indian Cricket team before the world cup 2007 because talentwise, India is the only team which can challenge Australia. The first and the biggest obstacle in his way was Sourav. His aggresion and dedication mixed with patriotism did not fit in Chappel's scheme of things so he managed to get him out of captaincy and team because he wanted someone as the captain who will follow his instructions without even voicing his own opinion.He got Dravid as the best person he can have.Then he eyed the guys who were mainstay of the team. He picked Irfan and meaninglessly asked him to bat regularly as no. 3 so that he lost his bowling under the pressure of performing with the bat also. He not only lost his bowling but also his batting form. Sehwag was shifted to middle order and then asked again to open. He too lost his form. He disturbed Dravids position by asking him to open. He is not sure where he should bat now.The most consistent batsman of the team lost his consistency.Dhoni had scored big scores of 183* and 148 while coming in as no.3 but can anyone tell me when Dhoni batted last time at no.3? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ?
