Dravid did play slowly rather badly today.If at all openers were little positive India would have been in better position.But the team composition is to blame for this.How in the world India does not have a specialist opener for tour to Aus.If sehwag was selected for that then he should play(it would not have changed the match situation though).You cant ask Dravid to open ,when he batted at no 3 or down all his carreer.Selectors should have groomed openers..opening is always been worry and no body seems to have any back up plan. Team composition needs change, get Harbhajan out..he never looked like taking wickets, get a balance even if it needs Yuvraj to sit out. Blame selectors not Dravid!

The opener know that there are two openers waiting to grab their places. So they are playing for their places rather than for the team. And dravid just higliglet today why he is called the Wall. but i think it has to be framed to something meaningful.... because even if the ball hits a wall, it will go somewhere in the field to give you a single....right?
