dravid is comitted prpfessional team player will perform as per team requirement but it is unfair to ask him to open to accomodate yuvraj
dravid's average as a No 3 batsman is above 56 while as opener as 34 and against aussies 51. team had ganguly sewag and tendulkar three operners and none of them to come forward to open innings so that yuvi can accomodate. why cant sachin or ganguly can't open innigns superstars wanted to open in odis so that easy to build innings without any pressure of run rate and more balls to face but in test new ball with shine and morning dues on bouncy hard green pitch very difficult to face the fast bowling but after some over balls will loose shining and batting will be easy. in 3 tests against pak, team lost first wkt when score was less than double figures .dravid along with jaffar consolidated the innings and scored runs and prepared a comfortable plat form for middle order to carry batting easily
why can't superstars play opening in test afraid to face new ball when aussie fast bowlers bowls accurat with 159 km speed on hard bouncy pitches?but blabbber so much infront of media.... dravid accepted challenge knowing that chief selector has an agenda against him. if he fails he will be out team if he socres even 30 runs holding one side he will be criticised for slow bowling or less runs still dravid took a brave decision to face tough challenge while 2 superstars prefer bat in middle so that batting will be easy can score runs ea
