Sooda Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Will he- I do think so. Should he...well not IMHO. But if not him who? GG/ Jaffer would be good. Will they stick with Kartik at the top as a pure batter?? And if Sehwag does play in the middle order with either DK or GG opening..who makes way in the middle?? ....questions...questions...questions... Link to comment

Inside_edge Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? sample size too low to make decision either way. Looks like we need multiple sets for each opposition home and away. Link to comment

yoda Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? I think we are in a "take it one test at a time" mode. Link to comment
The_Black_Prince Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? What ?? That Sehwag should bat in the middle ?? Well, based on what's happened here........I would say for test matches - Yes. For One-dayers - he could revert back to the top. Remember that he himself said a few years back that he preferred not to open. You need to find someone to partner Jaffer - I am not sold on Kartik'c technique as an opening batsman. Link to comment
The_Black_Prince Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? Actually the man who would make the best opener is one R. Dravid. Link to comment
Gambit Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? He's got the best record by an Indian opener ever(even better than SMG). I think he should continue to open(provided he scores of course). Link to comment
veer Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? nope RD is too good of a player .. and we shouldnt be sacrificing or else you will see karachi defeats more often.. i am for SRT as opener.. he knows how to tackle new shiney ball.. plus when he comes after quick wickets, he changes his approach in batting.. but by opening, he will settle down in half an hour and then press on..

Gambit Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? As long as blind pessimists like you are on the road, I myself will need help crossing the street. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? Sehwag has done well as opener and should open in tests. In ODIs he absolutely must drop to the middle order. He has been a consistent failure at the top. Link to comment
Sooda Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? ^ Indeed. gambhir/srt at the top for ODIs will be good Link to comment
King Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? They should probably be a bit flexible with Sehwag. If the pitch is doing a bit too much then slot him in the middle order otherwise he should be sent at the top. Nothing wrong in being a bit flexible. In India of course in both forms of cricket he will be batting at the top. Link to comment
Don Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? But Ravi its not like sehwags never played on a seaming wicket ever. He scored his runs everywhere in the world.Its jus a form thing, get his mental makeup sorted and get him back to opening where he belongs. Hes too good a player to hide at 7th. Link to comment
yoda Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? Drop him for a series or two and bring him back as the opener. By then Jaffer would have failed enough. Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? WTF is wrong with you people ? Sehwag has one bad series and suddenly he should be dropped down the order, or *gasp* from the test team ? Get your heads on right. He is India's best test batsman. Openers who can consistently score hundreds at a 70+ SR don't grow on trees. There is no adequate replacement for him in India - certainly not Gambhir. He just needs some time to redeem himself.

beetle Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? same order....send sehwag when we need a quick burst ....or when a sudden fall won't break our back..... Link to comment
