Sachin Bowler Tendulkar

Reports that Sachin Tendulkar will open the Indian bowling attack against Australia for the fourth Test started pouring in as early as two days before the start of the test. I ignored all such reports assuming that they were just some frivolous remarks. But lo and behold-- its true. I am waiting to see how this new stint of his as an opening bowler turns out. By the way, will somebody care to explain why Gautham Gambhir was preferred over Akash Chopra.
