The best option for India at the top of the order is the open with Sehwag and Tendulkar. They can build a solid base from where the lower order batmen can consolidate. But care should be taken by the lower order batsmen to consolidate the advatageous position that the openers create! They should not allow the opponents to dominate by giving way to slow batting.

The Opening partnership between Gambhir and Sachin in th elast australia tour was perfect, But keeping the current form of Sehwag, management may decide to send Sehwag to open with sachin. In that case, Gambhir will be moved to no3.

gautam - the best opener after ganguly
They are the best pair after gilchrist & hayden pair. they will dominate the bowlers like any thing . they should open the innings for india always only then india will get a good start.

Sehwag is back with the blessings of new coach Gary. He has regained his old form with 151 in adelaide and now he is one of the 1st choice for team india. Kristen new coach of Team India is likely to take his new assignment in March 08 fled to Australia as an advisor/consultant. Sehwag offered india a positive start. He also bowled well in Perth .Kristen's first advice was to sehwag to guard off-stump and his second advice was to completely leave out the upper-cut. These tip were very much effective for sehwag as guru mantra. Sehwag's innings was remarkable for other reasons also. pkc3000

Sehwag and Tendulkar is the best option to open, provided they are in form!

I think Gambhir and Tendulkar will be best combination for opening. Firstly its left-right combination. Second they can give India a strong and steady start. Sehwag should come at no.3 and play his natural game.
