without looking at recent stats, i think it's harsh on VVS. The op[eners usually dont' score, putting pressure on 3,4 and 5. He's having to come in at 39/3 and the like which is very hard work.
Dravid is still doing the business so should stay.
India has a problem with its openers and middle order.
Maybe let Dravid and VVS open, Tendulkar at 3 and Sehwag at 4.
neon... Only Asians and little kids care about it mate.
You enjoy your little pyjama party slog fest by all means and i`ll look forward to the Ashes

T20 is for moms and dads to take their kids to, thats why they`re played at the times they are... after school... they love the dancers and the music...
Now go see how hard it is to get an Ashes ticket compared to a ODI and see how many England fans travel to Australia for the Ashes and how many travel to the WC
We dont care about the world cup but I understand that you do, no probs.

"If England started to do well in the 50 over format, you will see many fans change their tune".
Not moi mate...
I`v got Sky Go and this last summers tour of Eng by Ind is on "anytime" still, all 4 tests, T20 and ODI`s games
I`v watched all of the 4 tests 3 or 4 times but none of the ODI`s even though we won them too.. Not interested mate.
ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz!
They could hold the WC in my back garden I`d still look out the front..

20x10 yards... Just enough for Trott to hit a 6..
With the wind behind it..
There`s a lot of grass on it though so I would`nt put any money on your boys to win it..

From my experience, it is the casual fans who don't actually play cricket (i don't mean professionally or anything, just for a local village club or whatever) who are the fans of ODIs and T20s. At my cricket club, we all acknowledge the primacy of the test game, and prefer to watch it. one guy I know said "even though test cricket is the longest form of the game, it is the most exiting because so many things can happen, in 5 days the game can twist and turn in so many ways"
When England won the T20 slog fest thing, one of my mates summed it up, saying he was "pleased" for england, because he always likes to see them do well, but he wasn't exited, or ina ccelebratory mood like he was when England won the ashes last.
To put it in football terms (from an English point of view), the Ashes is the Champions League, all other Test series are the Premier league, ODI World Cup is the FA cup, and T20 World Cup is the League Cup. As a fan of a big club, I only really care about the League and the Champions League. It's like when United beat City last week in the FA cup. I was pleased because it is always nice to beat City, but i was not thrilled. If that result had been in the League, however, I would have been absolutely ecstatic.
Got to feel abit sorry for the likes of Dravid, Sachin and VVS as they always seem to be coming in to bat after 30Mins as the likes of Sehwag & Gambir are literally just giving there wickets aways.
The job of the openers is to get rid of the new ball shine to make it easier for the others but it seems its up to Dravid and co to do this.
