Dravid should be allowed to play where he is best - 1 down

Send Tendulkar to open. He has more experience in opening atleast in One-dayers, if indeed Yuvraj has to be accommodated. Dravid is being made the sacrificial goat...

Now, Sehwag can be given a chance to open.
The best line up will be Jaffer, Karthik, Dravid, Sachin, Sourav, Laxman, Dhoni/Sehwag/Yuvraj, Irfan/Ishant/Pankaj, Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer. If Sehwag is playing, then Karthik can be the wicket keeper.
Now our team does not have a right arm pace bowler for this test match which is a boon for the Australian right hand batsmen

What difference it would make brining in shewag. Still we the 1 down will be like a opener to face the new ball.
