I don't think either opener is one of their best or most ideal and as anyone will tell you, a strong top order has a massive positive effect on the middle order. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a positive player; when you pair off two stodgers you just get 10 runs in ten overs.
The selectors need to make the big call and drop a great player in the name of a better team.
Lack of batting practice cost India today. Tendulkar was in full flow and batted like GOD he is. Billy Bowden had a day to forget and giving batsmen out - not out left right and center.
Dravid needs to get out of mental block he has got himself into. Laxman should have played pull shot and just went to defend a waist high delivery. Come on man practice some short stuff using plastic balls .
India was never expected to win opening match so no tears here.
