Veeru and Sachin should open the batting. Rahul is better in third position.

Since Shewag was not performing to the exepectation as an opener as he was doing in the past, Team management experimented with Dravid to open the innings with Tendulkar. The logic behind that game plan was not to loose many wickets at the begining of the innings, as Dravid is a very solid technically correct defensive player. Tendulkar at the other end should keep the score board moving and Dravid should rotate the strike with him. By bring Shewag in the middle, they wanted somebody to score quick runs at the middle and slog overs. Presently there is nobody in the team except Dhoni to score quick runs consistently. However, since this experiment has not worked out, I feel they should open with Tendulkar and Shewag in future and I am sure they will do so.

I hate Dravid now. He is always looking for his comfort and don't think he is the captain and if the team loses, it is his fault. Now a days he is not playing well too. I f he would be at 4 and Sachin and Sewag(They are the best opening pairs according to me) should open and Dhoni or Pathan should be at number 3.

He's just the replacement opener if somebody either Sachin or Sehwag injures. So he was made to open.
But now since both Sachin & Sehwag are back, he should occupy his favourite spot of no.3 or 4 in the middle order to strengthen the Indian batting.

I don't like Dravid to open the inning. He is good at No.3 and shewag and sachin are in good form.

ANY DAY DRAVID WOULD PLAY BETTER AT NO.3.
HES MADE THAT WAY!!!!!!!!
HE NOT A PINCH HITTER BUT ONE WHO STABILIZES THE INNINGS WITH HIS GORGIOUS STROKES AND DELICATE PUSHES TO THE FENCE.
OPENERS ARE MEANT TO GIVE A BRIGHT START AND DRAVID THE REGULAR NO.3 BAT IS THE BEST STROKEMAKER AND INCASE THE OPENRS FAIL HE GOES ON TO BRING THE INNINGS TO A SUPERB TOTAL WITH STABILITY.

he shouldn't open the batting in ODIs. he is an accumilator of the ball. he takes runs mosly in ones and twos. he is the ideal player for the middle overs. he should come at 4-5 in ODIs. in tests, he can bat as an opener. he has a good defense which is required for a test opener to survive.

To shuffle the batting line up is good but if its not working go ahead with the previous one...Don't test the negative one for quite a long time...bcos world cup is very closer to prove our-self....

Only Coach Greg Chappel as he thinks he can experiment at any tournment and any match. As our Board had give him a free hand to destroy our team confidence. As such if India wins or looses they are interested in getting revenue ie 1 BILLION DOLLERS ONLY.
