Playing XI for the boxing day test

Players who are certain in the eleven:

Jaffer,Dravid,Sachin,Ganguly,Laxman,Dhoni,Kumble,RP Singh,Zaheer

Remaining Spots: 2 (a batsman and a bowler)

Contenders:

Yuvraj,Sehwag,Karthik,Pathan,Ishant (Harbhajan and Pankaj Singh will definitely warm the bench)

Options:

1. Dravid to open, Yuvraj in the middle-order;either of Pathan/Ishant

2. Pathan to open & Yuvraj in the middle-order


3. Leave out Yuvraj, Open with Sehwag;either of Pathan/Ishant

4. Leave out Yuvraj, Open with Karthik;either of Pathan/Ishant


So,Whats your take? What do you think is the best playing 11?
I guess selectors will go with Option 1 with Ishant being the 3rd seamer.
Personally though, I dont want to see Dravid open. I will go with Option 3 with Ishant being the seamer.I know it is a big gamble but I dont want to tinker with the positions of Big Four just to accomodate Yuvraj.
