Rakesh, i never said to replace dhoni! get parthiv in as a batsman. he has been exposed to international cricket at a very young age. when the jackals reatined their places, the poor lamb lost hios place. I do not know if you have seen him bat in recent times. he looks very good indeed. As regards Karthick, i believe we should persist with him in the opening slot. Most unfortunately , good bats are weighed down by their alternate abilities of wicketkeeping! Anyway dhoni has to perform, & the way he labours while batting, it is indeed miserable to wtach him, a free flowing attacking batsman. He is a fighter and i expect him to survive.
