He should not have been asked to open.I believe the team should have shown him some support in this difficult time of his.When a batsmen isn't playing well,then should you put additional responsibilities on him?Moreover,shift him to a new slot where you know he hasn't done well in the past......
What next now?Again ask him to open?Or maybe even bowl and keep wickets??Over the years we have asked him to open,bat at no.3,bat in the middle order,bat late in the order,bowl his off spin,be a wicketkeeper,be a thinking captain and he has always accepted these things gracefully but come on,when he is already in such a tough situation,why do they want to make it tougher for him??
A subdued Dravid, who needed 41 deliveries to get off the mark, never looked comfortable and was dropped by Phil Jaques in the gully and then caught by Matthew Hayden at first slip off a no-ball, both off Johnson's bowling.And he also survived a lbw shout before finally getting out.
