Will/Should Sehwag open again?

[Sooda]

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...

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.

Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? I think we are in a "take it one test at a time" mode.

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.

Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? Actually the man who would make the best opener is one R. Dravid.

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).

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..

Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? Gambo my friend........I hope no old lady every asks you to help her cross the street !

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.

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.

[Sooda]

Re: Will/Should Sehwag open again? ^ Indeed. gambhir/srt at the top for ODIs will be good

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.

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.

[yoda]

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.

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.

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.....
