i think "pinch hitters" are not a long term soluition to opener , because they do not value th4ere wicket high enough i think they should stick with butt, someone who will value his wicket enable them to make more use of thre last 10 overs with the use of " pinch hitters", but i would like to see dhjoni open the innings for india, he has now shown he is much more muturer then a "pinch hitter£" and play a mature innings but also make use of power plays and bat through picking off part time bowlers in the middle of the innings
