i'd say sehwag and tendulkar. its having 2 reliable batsman doing twice the damage as 1 unreliable afridi ------------- Some great cricketing quotes: "It's tough for a natural hooker to give it up." - Ian Chappell "On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls." - Rex Alston, BBC |

Langer and Hayden make a great opening partnership. Once they are set, they are hard to break up. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Sehwag is doing very well. If Tendulkar come in form, i think among the above choice this is the best pair. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

Yea, but Sachin has to get back into form, just Sehwag is not enough. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Trescothick and Strauss were great in the Ashes. They always made opening partnerships of 90 or over, but when they played another team, they don't make big partnerships. I would say Langer and Hayden. They make huge opening partnerships against any team. But now and then, Australia loses its 1st wicket around the 30 run mark, which is a big worry. ------------- |

Tendulkar has never opened in test cricket!!
Hayden and Langer have been the best for a number of years , but they are getting old now! Trescothick and Strauss are solid and I expect them to outperform the Aussie openers in November and December. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Kindly tell me when Tendulkar opened in a Test. Tendulkar bats at number 4 because he's the side's best strokemaker - nothing whatsoever to do with his average. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I apologise AK , I was unaware of that instance. Still , having opened ONCE in his career should mean he has no place in this poll. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

| if this isn't a best current opening partners then you really should have put Greendidge and Haynes. |

Well for the Windies Chris Gayle & Darren Ganga have been their best opening pair since the days of those players I dont even know they average just under 50 for the 1st wicket in over 20 tests I think if I can remember. ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

| Probably Hayden and Langer in Tests. I would like to see what is there avg. outside Austrailia |

I always though Hayden adn Gilchrist is the best ODI opening pair followed by Kirsten and Gibbs then Sehwag and Sachin.
Sorry. Thought it was on ODIs. Yup Hayden and Langer have been a good pair. Smith and De Villiers next. Just as the poll goes. Its going the right way. ------------- |

Right but this is a test poll ,by the wat Dravid Fan Smith and AB have got a long way to go . ------------- |

Your right. Plus De Villiers hasn't opened for a while now. So I think it might become Smith and Gibbs or Smith and Hall or Gibbs and Hall. ------------- |
