Batting line for Aus!

[jf1gp_1]

I agree' date=' no experiments.[b'] We dont want to ruin Pathan again, by asking him to open the batting. He needs to focus on his bowling, as that is of greater importance to us.

:two_thumbs_up: well said

My XI for the 1st test; Jaffer, Chopra, Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Laxman, Dhoni+, Pathan/RPS, Kumble, Zaheer, Sreesanth. 12th man; Yuvraj

[DesiChap]

For the millionth time Sree is INJURED and ruled out till at least the 2nd Test match in Aus.

Yuvraj opening is not a completely bad idea. I know he tried before and didn't succeed' date=' however he has improved a lot as a batsman since then, and is a pretty good player of pace bowling. Moreover, he will punish anything loose by the Aussies. However, I worry about his technique and temperament.[/quote'] when SG promoted YS to open, it was suggested that he did so to save his own place in the side... are u now suggesting that YS shd be sacrificed to save the back of the free rider RD?
