You are corrent Tendlya, Sehwag does need to change his approach to batting, he can't play the same way as he did before, every batsman needs to change the way he bats if runs are not coming- for example Tendulkar was out of form against on the Australian tour in 2003, to get back into the runs he took away the drive shot, he didn't play a single drive shot and was rewarded with his then highest Test score of 241 not out.

Sehwag needs to learn from his guru Tendulkar, he needs to change his approach to batting. Before people used to say that Sehwag would struggle because he didn't move his feet- but it was never a problem for him as he would still score runs with his brilliant hand-eye coordination. But now he has aged and his hand-eye coordination is no longer as good as it used to be- so he definatly needs to change.

If he doesn't give us a solid showing in the 3rd Test against South Africa then I think we should demote him down the order or even drop him for a more solid opener- Akash Chopra.
