My team for first Test

It is important that Tendulkar is shielded from the new ball.  Given the
right protection he can cross 300 runs in every innings.  My batting order
also allows Sehwag free rein to play his shots without being burdened by
responsibility, or indeed any sense of judgement whatsoever.

I would expect the average score of this team to be in the range - 444.

Sehwag
Chopra
Ramesh
Dasgupta
Bangar
Ratra
Patel
Dravid
Tendulkar
Prick (c)
Agarkar

Wicket-keeper will be rotated:
overs 0-50 of Australia's innings: Patel
51-100: Ratra
101-150: Dasgupta
151-200: Dravid
etc.

Those not 'keeping will stand behind the 'keeper.
