Jaffer could be a better bowler :-)<br /><br />But two spinners? why not sreesanth? he looks damn promising.Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290128815962780478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187558.post-34008629627336268682006-12-12T07:04:00.000+05:302006-12-12T07:04:00.000+05:30I think Jaffer should be given another chance.

Playing Irfan as an opening bat is a risk because it will mess his head even more, and while he has the technique, i wonder if he has the temperament to face up to the new ball. <br />4 pace 1 spin with sehwag and sachin doubling up in the spin dept, and gambhir instead of Jaffer if an alternate opener is needed.<br /><br />However, I have the nagging feeling that the Indian lineup might look like this<br /><br />Sehwag<br />Dravid<br />VVS<br />Sachin<br />Saurav<br />Dhoni<br />Pathan<br />Kumble<br />Zaheer<br />Sreesanth<br />VRV Singh<br /><br />only because the batting might need reinforcing.<br /><br />CheersHomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949049044524078820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187558.post-73892680921442219972006-12-11T16:29:00.000+05:302006-12-11T16:29:00.000+05:30I am sure you aware I agree with you regarding the...I am sure you aware I agree with you regarding the Sachin thing. But most probably what you recommend might happen. Dhoni/Pathan might be the fall guy.

Dravid should at least ask Tendulkar to open, if nothing else. The Indian batting has looked fragile so far, and on current form Pathan must make it into the team on his batting abilities alone.Amit Bajajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429759992788315125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187558.post-45549406849577195022006-12-11T02:32:00.000+05:302006-12-11T02:32:00.000+05:30Pathan opening?!Pathan opening?!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215417891130654291noreply@blogger.com
