Patience is key in the top order when the ball is moving about. Vijay should atleast the least protect his wicket and support Dhawan - who is better suited to the aggressor's role.

Raina is a great batsman to have at #5. I am more worried about Rohit. Always seems to take unnecessary risks too early in the innings.

It's because Rohit's a t20 player. I really thought he'd grab his chances in these warm up games but he's continuing a trend that's been growing for the last 2 years.. He's simply too quick to do things and not realizing the game is 30 overs more than his norm.

Raina will surprise you, I think. An outstanding fielder and once he gets himself in, he's a big threat. I agree though, I think Yuvraj should've been in the squad and use him before Dhoni but I still don't count Raina out. He's got a big innings in him with the bat, but he needs to settle quicker.

Yeah, Yuvi would have added steel and experience to the squad. The team is too fragile at the moment. I certainly hope Raina surprises me, he is an excellent fielder and a proper team man!! But his problem of facing Short pitch balls will expose him i think!

Come near who?

One of you shall win now. But it'll be akin to stealing a few hours on the throne while the King is held hostage.

Even without Steyn, I fear a top-order collapse from India
