Replies form my last message indicates most want Saurav & Sachin to open. When both are in good form like now, they have to open. No1 knows better than the two when to attack and when to defend if bowling is good. Tendulkar can play freely when he gets support at the other end which ganguly can give, if wickets keep falling tendulkar goes into a shell. most time the two will survive till 10-12 overs and build a platform of 70 runs for others to follow. I remember Gavaskar commenting that your best 2 batsmen and in form must open in ODI.
