Answer 11

The Indian team has more openers than it has space for; that is good from one angle but it also leaves the impression sometimes that talent is being wasted in the race to pick the two best openers; talent which would be utilized in other places. I believe the batting line up India has picked in the recent past is the best we can conjure up but I also believe that the order in which they come in is not perfect yet.

We had a brilliant opening combination in Tendulkar and Ganguly till Sehwag cracked a 67-ball 100 in Sri Lanka and emerged as yet another possibility.

What followed was a lot of experimentation - rightly so in my belief - to get the perfect line up. With Sehwag doing all that Tendulkar did and more at the No. 1 position, Tendulkar was moved down to No. 4 to provide solidity to the middle order in a move that was largely condemned but again, in my belief, a move that had a lot of substance to it. The move failed and Tendulkar moved back up and Ganguly moved down to try and achieve the original objective.

Since the emergence of Laxman in the ODI team, Ganguly has been hopping around the No. 3 and No. 4 slots and like Tendulkar, has not been largely successful. Laxman added to the top-order confusion by having a brilliant ODI series in Australia at No. 3, cracking centuries at will while Tendulkar looked mortal and Ganguly got injured.

Confusion galore, indeed.

My analysis goes thus - Tendulkar and Ganguly both have failed when sent down the order while Sehwag has succeeded when sent up top. Laxman looks very good at times but a misfit at other times (talking only about ODI cricket). The rest of the batting line up consisting of Yuvraj, Dravid and one of Kaif / Badani / Gavaskar is just fine. The problem is up top where our best one-day bats Tendulkar and Ganguly are having an identity crisis.
