Steve's Team will have Sehwag partnering Dravid

Steve Waugh may be voicing the opinion of many people who saw Jaffer's flop show at Melbourne. He did look to be the fish out of water as he kept fishing at deliveries going outside the off-stump. The former Australian captain is in favour of one more chance for Dravid-the-opener, who could be a perfect foil to Sehwag.

However, it looks unlikely that India could see any opening combination apart from Jaffer-Dravid or Jaffer-Sehwag. If an opener has to go, then it will only be the makeshift opener in Dravid. They are likely to give at least one more chance to Jaffer as opener.

Meanwhile, the Indian Team management has denied reports in the Australia media that there was unhappiness about Yuvraj's attitude. Their denial should also be a lesson for the home media that such reports should be lapped up only after verification with the person concerned. At least, have 'no comment' or 'failure to reach' from them. Do not allow yourself to be used by the Australian media (if Rajput is right).
