Ishant and R.P.Singh will be the ideal opening attack

Harsha Bhogle says "A Sharma-Sreesanth opening ticket has the potential of becoming the best we have had."

Two nakedly aggressive bowlers maybe good for our team's ego but will not be effective.For me an Ishant Sharma / R.P.Singh combination would be our best opening attack.

Arpy's aggression is not overt and  since he rely's more on guile and control, he will provide a good contrast to Ishant's bounce, pace and swing.

The scenario I envisage is this, assaulted by Ishant's energy and aggression the batsmen are sure to play Arpy with a sense of relief and fall prey to his guile. Conversely, beguiled by Arpy, the batsmen will see spitting cobras on the pitch and will be simply blown away by Ishant.

Are you for a Sharma - Sreesanth combination or for a Sharma -Singh combination?
