Recall that the last time the Wall opened at Durban he made 24 or 28 not out while the rest of the team collapsed all out for 100.

Looks like someone in the management is hell bent on finishing Pathan's career. Sacrificing him as a regular one drop batsman was not enough now. Now he ahs to take more pressure of not just opening India's bowling, but batting as well. What next. Pathan wicketkeeping as well?

again i agree. if pathan is made to open in the next test, dravid and chappell should be sacked. it would be ludicrous to the extreme. if anything, dravid should go up to open and pathan come in at 7. he may in time be a number 6 but his bowling desperately needs working on. hopefully a chat with wasim would have helped

India's highest score in a test innings also came at Jo'burg, when they scored 410 all out against SA in '97.

Also, India is yet to be defeated at Jo'burg in tests. Both tests India have played here, ended in draw.

So, we maintain clean state in Jo'burg.
