Absolutely, he doesn't deserve the 4-0 at all. Praveen is the only other one that has been okay.

So they just showed clip of Indians having a bat in the nets this morning.

Quite so. His efforts should've shamed his teammates. Bumble just made the point about him being shunted around the order too. It's no secret he doesn't like opening, but he's manned-up and done it for the good of the team.
Contrast with the pea-hearted efforts of Gambhir and Sachin's refusal to move from #4, meaning VVS has to come in at three, despite not having the best game for the swinging new ball.
Warne especially damning about Burgey's mate Sicknote. Fair call; does need to grow a pair.

In the interview with TMS, Eric Simons said he would play in both innings.

tbf laxman actually has expressed his desire to bat at 3/4 a number of times. some of his top knocks have come while batting at 3.
but yeah tendulkar should've batted at 3 in this series in those situations, particularly yesterday. hardly makes a difference if you come in at 5 for 1 after 3 overs or 24/2 after 7 overs.

harby would've loved to bowl here.

Swann needs to come around the wicket to the right-hander more often in general IMO. He just bowls so much better from that angle; gets more revs and a much better shape overall.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't wanna overdue the machismo here, but seriously, HTFU.
Your country needs you and all that.

Gambhir showing how much of a team man he is.
Good ball by Jimmy, should make short work of Mishra, hope Dravid gets his ton.

concussion is a serious thing. it ain't a broken small toe. if the doctor and gambhir don't have 100% confidence he shouldn't bat....and really it's not gambhir's call. should be up to the doctor. over here a footballer who gets concussion doesn't come back in the same match. it doesn't go away with a little nap.
personally i don't think he should bat
