Dravid would be out there in the second over anyway, so it wouldn't accomplish much.

Although Yuvraj looked a bit better today, it was only a matter of time before he got out, and once again we've seen how uncomfortable he looks at Test level. Clark is just going to exploit his weakness against the length delivery that moves somewhat, so should he be dropped for the WACA? Assuming that he doesn't make a big score in the second innings, then I'd be in favour of Sehwag/Karthik coming into the side. Wouldn't mind seeing Sehwag down the order either, just quietly.

Giving the new ball to Johnson is such a waste, he hardly makes the batsmen play anything with the new ball and his bowling has been pretty predictable with his lack of ability to move the ball both ways, Clark is a much much better option then him to take the new ball IMO.
Seriously i am very disappointed with the way Johnson has bowled so far in this series and he really needs to step-up if he wishes to hold onto his place in the side.

That and the fact that Mitch Johnson has bowled 5 wides in a test match.

Yeah that is a very good option. I would be very uneasy seeing a green Sehwag opening, nor would I want to disturb our fab 4's positions in the middle of the series. Personally, I would wait to see which 3 to select in the XI between Yuvraj, Sehwag and Jaffer after the tour game (I think we have one between the 2nd and 3rd tests).

Difficult to see where the next wicket will come from. I'll be interested to see how Tendulkar approaches the bowlers if Harbhajan gets out next..he might miss out on his century.

Yuvraj was piss poor today, Hogg was almost making him dance at crease and he looked clueless against him and he looked slightly better against Lee and Johnson but he hardly had the technique to survive a newish ball.

He wasn't piss-poor, but he did look out of depth. Played a couple of decent shots, which is more than he did down in Melbourne. I've never had any ideas of him opening, none whatsoever, as it was so blatantly obvious he couldn't handle it.

Surely Yuvraj has to go? It's not like he's looked comfortable at all in the three innings he's played. I can't see him scoring in the second innings either, but if he does then he'll likely retain his spot. Jaffer has looked okay, solid, but hasn't been able to score any runs. I do get the feeling that Sehwag would be a useful addition to the Indian XI, even though he hasn't got many on the board, because it only takes a couple of shots for somebody like him to work back into form. I can see him scoring a quick hundred at the top of the innings, but Australia would have to drop him for that to happen.
Bhajji can give some tips to Yuvraj
Bhajji can give some batting to tips to his nightclub pal Yuvraj.Does bhajji have any common sense ?

It is purely technique related.
Yuvraj has no backfoot defense to speak of. - NONE WHATSOEVER.
You can not play the best fast bowlers (in test matches) in even slightly helpful conditions without that. Thats why he cant score here. same for Dhoni. The earlier we learn that the better will be our understanding of what's happening and the earlier they acquire these skills the better will they be as all round finished articles.

I agree, how hard should it be to dismiss Harbhajan? Next in, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma I don't think these two will provide as much resistance as Harbhajan is providing atm.
