India will win the toss and bat first.. By the end of Day-1 the scorecard would be 275/4. Sehwag - 51 Gambhir- 30 Dravid - 31 Tendulkar - 65* Laxman - 37 Kohli - 26*
We Indians, media and public will get only what we deserve. When Sehwag did pyrotechnics against poor West Indies, we lifted him to the top. When we did badly in England, we didnt learn. So nothing's gonna change. India will lose the 4th Test too - only question is will it be a matter of 3 days or 4 days. Irrespective of being below average or poor performers, Sehwag and Dhoni manage to retain themselves on the team. Both are bringing shame to Indian cricket by repetitively non performing and denying oppurtunities for younger players. Sehwag has made lot of money through IPL and Dhoni by ads. Both of them dont want or feel the need to exert themselves for the grace of Indian cricket. They dont have any commitment. Both of them need to be dropped immediately. Ideal way to go about is to prepare both fast bouncy and slow pitches in India at different venues and prepare Indian batsmen to be adaptive to different kinds of bowling. Recruit athletic well built and energetic young people as future cricketers. Identify promising young fast bowlers and train them. But the BCCI led by Shameless N. Srinivasan will never learn neither do the shameless bunch of selectors. All of them should be dumped from the board and panels. Non-performers should be quickly identified and rested. Then only Indian Cricket will improve. Stop patronising Dhoni or Sehwag pyrotechnics on flat home grounds. Prepare good quality fast pitches. Be ready to experiment. Or Indian cricket will be dead soon.
Actually what is happening is Sehwag is not being given any room by the Aus bowlers who are pitching it up and close to off-stump line.Even otherwise Sehwag is not that good against accurate bowling and the pacers are indeed doing brilliant job making up for weak Aus batting.Sehwag's chances of coming good as opener at Adelaide are 1 out of 10.So, it is better Sehawag comes in the middle order to avoid demoralizing of the team once he gets out within 2-3 overs.

Absolutely right...he should come in middle order and let dravid open it...
Many messages use 'Evev' to Pakistan.Wrong, Pakistan constantly produces quality fast bowlers steadily and also good batsmen.Only thing is they dont play well as a team
