RE:Opening Batsmen
by CricFan01 on Nov 17, 2007 06:24 AM

I agree that opening pair for tests is not ideal but that is the best we have. My gut feeling is that Dinesh Karthik will not play all the tests because he will be taken out early by the Aussies. With Jaffer the problem is early on in the innings he is very tentative and many times get bowled or LBW, but overall is solid. I still think they should take Sehwag to Aus. Middle order looks solid with Dravid, Sachin, Laxman and Ganguly/Yuvraj. Dhoni is unknown at this point on Aus wickets. Bowling is OK, the mercurial Sreesanth should not get carried away and start his theatrics. Fielding is the weakest link. In one dayers India have a better chance to give Aus a good fight and if they play to potential they may even surprise Aus in few games. Hopefully they give a good fight and not go down tamely like SL is/
