Appreciating the Other's Role

In an interview with Arun Lal this morning Greg Chappell stressed that part of the aim of the strategic shuffling (termed experimentation) by the media was to help every player understand the role of other players in the team.

Hence Pathan and Dhoni promoted up the order to understand how the likes of Sehwag and SRT would be feeling handling the new ball and vice-versa.

But today we saw this taken to a very much more interesting and novel level - when Harbhajan opened the bowling with the new ball both times (also Kumble once) and Ajit Agarkar came on to bowl only when the ball got pretty old.

Amazing !
