unless he messes up big time that is...the vibes i get from team india’s camp are that they have more or less decided that rahul dravid will open for a while... gambhir is back after a groin injury and a layoff of two and a half months... and even if he does play against pakistan on the 26th... india’s first match... he will come one down... or if the start is good dhoni...india is looking at either sachin or dravid to carry on till at least the 40th over with a battery of dashers around these gents... so one of sachin or dravid will bat thru the innings not worrying too much about the strike rate so the powers of yuvraj, dhoni, raina can be unleashed at t...   See the complete post here
