If Sehwag doesnt play in the 2nd ODI how about Sachin opening the batting with..

People said the same thing about Sehwag too. Thats why it will be a test of his technique. And you cant say Yusuf has no technique until you test him.

I knew this argument would be made. I was going to add. to my earlier post Viru is an exception not the rule, but just let it go.

would be good for yusuf, if he opens maybe sachin can bring out the best in him

I think veeru shud rest.. we need to test our backup players.. I hope dhoni tries some new players like Tyagi, Nayar, Ashwin ... and also Pandey shud be tried.. my X1 for 2nd ODI 1.Sachin 2.Pandey 3.Karthik 4.Dhoni 5.Kohli 6.Raina 7.Nayar 8.Jadeja 9.Praveen 10.Nehra 11.Tyagi

If Viru is fit, then he should play. Resting Viru in the 2nd ODI would be asking for trouble. Yes, but if we win the 2nd ODI, we can rest him in the 3rd ODI and try our reserve bats. In fact even Sachin can be rested in that case.

karthik is going to open! and again he wouldnt score of the first three balls and hit a boundary! and take all the strike! he just cant rotate strike!

:cantstop:

Nayar should be in the team.

Nayar should be in the team.

As long as he scores a boundary, it is ok na?

[flamy]

As long as he scores a boundary' date=' it is ok na?[/quote'] i don't rate kartik much but he seems to be in good form now. 3 dot balls and a boundary is waste.

how? that is a SR of 100.

[flamy]

how? that is a SR of 100.

SR of 100 by taking singles is better than SR of 100 with dot balls and boundary balls. In the end, lesser dot balls, the better.
