    "I want a defensive partner"

    Chopra has been a godsend for us. He's rock-solid and gutsy, but was getting boogged down after starts, somewhat like Sanjay Bangar. Yuvraj may well have the ability to open the innings, they obviously won't try out such an experiment at international level in such a crucial series if it were so...

    Partly, like Raj said he was out of rythm (as he's been for almost a year now). Though he did have that spectacular start..2 wickets in his first over. :cool:

    Pakistan have to play Shoaib. If they do they have a strong chance. Sri Lanka's chances aren't too good though with Murali and home advantage they can do it.

    Boy will that be a treat! He has a very real chance of doing it, on a typical Sri Lanka wicket against their bowling on his current blazing form. :D

    **Official** 'My Current World XI' Thread

    I feel he's capable enough. I'd rather have him than Graeme Smith incharge of a world 11.

    Let's hope he is....with his sudden withdrawal from Surrey and all, I doubt it. He's a vital bowler and we need him fit, especially for our next Test series against Australia.

    He said he was before the Pakistan tour and there even while he was fit, his bowling was the crappiest ever in his career.

    "I want a defensive partner"

    It's unfortunate, but that's how cut-throat the competition is. And Australia will be perfect for comparing the two :cool:. It's risky but i'm backing Yuvraj's ability.

    "I want a defensive partner"

    True, but when someone could be better then he must be tried out. We have to find out who is better.

    My Indian team for the likely conditions in Sri Lanka - V.Sehwag S.Tendulkar S.Ganguly V.Laxman R.Dravid Y.Singh M.Kaif I.Pathan L.Balaji H.Singh/Z.Khan A.Kumble I would definitely have Kumble over Harbhajan because he's been doing very well and Bhajji hasn't played any cricket for a while.

    "I want a defensive partner"

    But don't you think Yuvraj should be tried out? If he suceeds can you imagine what a combo we will have? I don't think they will stick with him if he fails, Chopra will get back in.

    "I want a defensive partner"

    Sehwag is very attacking, yet in the first hour or so he's always cautious. It's not like they forget what an opener's role is. Yuvraj has to be tried out.

    "I want a defensive partner"

    But Ganguly thinks he's got what it takes, and he thought the same about Sehwag. The decision to get Sehwag to open got similar reactions, but how well it has worked. Ian Chappel couldn't stop praising Ganguly for it. He obviously can judge ability well. But even then he got a little too bogged...
