Ozzie not giving stroke players like Sehwag the Width

Sehwag could not fully angle his bat to hit the stroke and this is why he gave a nick to be out on an bouncing outswinger.
Indian bowlers can do the same by denying the width to play stroke and forcing the batsmen to play.
In case of Sehwag, the any play means a stroke.
Sehwag in order to make his stroke will have to make width by moving to leg side (for off balls) or moving to off side (legside balls). Either way there is risk of missing and the ball hitting the stumps. But atleast he can hit his strokes this way. Even tendulkar took his chance to hit at Lee and the ball went above symonds head.

I had bet that sehwag would not score more than 20. But he scored 19. Well done, sehwag. I lost my bet. Whosoever has to collect the money from me, better contact me.
Poor Jaffar. Doesnt know how to play fast bowler on good pitches.
Hope dravid ll stay for longer without scoring so that we ll have 5-days of play for this test.
