I guess by congratulating Dr.Z, all of us kinda forgot the main purpose of this thread...

Well, yes I guess we haven't experimented much...but then we never had too many options...sending in Rafique at number one or two is feasible in one day cricket, but in test matches, although we had a handful of specialist openers, none of them seemed to click on a regular basis, so that we were not left with too many options...
In my opinion the problem was with our batsmen's temperament, and that goes to all batsmen, not only the openers. In the past, it's been our openers who've been the "Bolir Patha's" most of the time, whereas the selectors seemed to care very little about the others..
