What Indian cricket need now is not experiments but an earthquake.
An earthquake that turns the batting order upside down, so that something good comes out of it.
If India’s celebrated one-day openers Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar can’t handle a bit of bounce and movement early in the innings what should skipper Rahul Dravid do with them?
It is a pity that Sehwag and Tendulkar can’t clatter the ball around with the benefit of power play field restrictions even for a few overs.
May be Dravid and Chappell should ask Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble to open the batting in South Africa so that Sehwag and Tendulkar can be useful to the side when the ball loses its shine. These two gentlemen should be brought on only in the last 10 overs.
There was uproar among the pundits when Dravid opened the innings. And on Sunday, as in many past occasions, Dravid was doing the opener's job.
The moment batting gets challenging, our anointed openers flee to the dressing room, leaving Dravid to open, build and consolidate.
On Sunday in Cape Town India's batting order was by and large conventional. Openers at their slots, Dravid at No.3, Mohammad Kaif at No.4, Dinesh Karthick at No.5 and Dhoni at No.6 and Irfan Pathan at No.7.
But the scoreboard had that beaten look once more.
What now Chappell?
Should India play only Twenty20?

To me, if Sachin Tendulkar had not dropped Justin Kemp, a catch which would have been taken 99.9 times by him, we would have won it.
He simply cost us the match.
Its unforgivable.
That catch dropped is simply bluntly f***ing unacceptable.
And the icing on the cake was the terrible pull shot.
they 'catches win matches'...south african players took all the catches...indians failed to catch and hence lost the match...peace
