yes we expect too much from sehwag....sehwag is always compared with sachin....but if u look closly ....sachin had scored 25 hundread in first half of his career.....say in first 10 years and sehwag just scored 15......sehwag may be the best entertainer but he is not technically sound to score runs consistantly....so don't expect too much frm sehwag...when he plays he wud break the record but always think that he is one rash shot away frm his wicket....

Debut Sehwag - Nov , 2001 Debut Tendulkar - Nov, 1989. In 8 years sehwag has scored 15 centuries which includes 3 double centuries and 3 triple hundreds. Tendulkar in his first 8 years had 14 centuries with the highest beiing 179. So, if we go as per u then Sehwag is technically more sound and consistant than Tendulkar.

sehwags 3254 catches were dropped for every single triple hundred and 1125 catches for every century..this is how irresponsibly he plays..where as sachin is given wrongly out for so many coccassions

yaa n rival teams planned those drop cathes to make sehwag one of the most successful openers of all time for india. you've a great logic rathod, this really shows your caliber and by the way when you revealed the county experience of yours, you did not mention the county name, must be some vada-pav county.

It is not the time, we need to see in how many matches each of them scored. Sehwag definitely has brilliant record in tests. But comparing with Sachin has many parameters.
Re: Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...

The comparison was done for letting Balu know that what he has written is not correct :)
Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by ramakrishnan s on Nov 23, 2009 09:18 PM
Balu, this talk of sehwag not having technique is all bunkum. What is technique? It is an ability to keep the good balls out and put thebad balls away. Now sehwag not only puts the bad ones away but all hits the good ones too for zixes and fours. again, remember he has scored triple centuries against pakistan and south africa which has the best pace attacks in the business. Further, he has scored centuries in all conditions and in all countries be it swing, pace, spin...so to say he has porr technique is rubbish. Yes, sehwag does not play the conventional way and that is the reason why our former cricketers don't see to appreciate him....
Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by balu on Nov 23, 2009 09:59 PM
he scored those tripple centuries on flattest of picth he can ever get.......carefully notice his each ceturies and u'll realise that only 2 or 3 centuries have been scored on good pitch........so what if u play so many matches u can get few tukkas.......another point....see his average in ODI....33/34 what a patehtic...it's been ages he has scored a couple of centuries in ODI........if he still apporaches his game like this....he will soon find himself out of the team.....
Re: Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by ramakrishnan s on Nov 23, 2009 10:29 PM
If the wicket was so flat, then how is it that our god of cricket or for that matter any other player could not score those triple centuries? Buddy, u seem to forget that he scored those runs when akhtar, steyn and co were bowling. Scoring triple centuries is no joke and that too at such a hectic pace. Can u tell me a single cricketer who can score those runs, at such a pace? Now u can't stay that long to score those runs if u don't have the technique or the metal temparament. Again, sehwag has scored in all conditions, be it swing in england, or pace in austraila/south africa. I am amazed u say flat wickets! How many of our other so called grts scored in testing conditions abroad? Rarely!

On both the occasions when he scored those 300's those were the very very flat pitches u can get to bat...against SA devilers scored a double hundred on that match and dravid also scored 1oo with sehwag...only one innings was possible on that pitch...u know this....such was the pitch condition....second 300 againt pak another batting beauty....with depleeted pak attack i think dravid also scored 100 on that pitch...but on a slightly different pitch which assists bit of swing or seem movement....he is back in the dressing room in no time....not a rliable player for team india...these are facts
Re: Re: Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by sunil k on Nov 23, 2009 10:44 PM
Why...u dont remember...u cant remeber Dravid's all time classic match winnig innigeses on bowling friendly pitches where Mr.sehwag used to throw his wicket early in the inningses and enjoy in the dressing room.....in england...in Australia...in NZ...in ..PAk....just remeber those classic inningses...on good bowling pitches..

by Pradeep Shinde on Nov 25, 2009 07:40 PM
Who stopped your demi gods from scoring triples on those flattest pitches, why didn't any of other indian could do it till date. India has always been known for it's batting prowess still he is the only one to score triples and that too twice next only to brian lara. one thing is sure even if somebody else some day manages to pass 300s, he'll still be first among indians to score a 300. You can now start hacing your stomach cramps.
Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by rocky on Nov 23, 2009 07:21 PM
In his last 11 centuries, he has always scored more than 150 - one shot away from his wicket :)
Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by Jay on Nov 23, 2009 09:23 PM
The string of 150 in Tests makes him a matchwinner. With a batting lineup of Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman to follow, he has to play his natural game.
Re: Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by balu on Nov 23, 2009 09:49 PM
matchwinner.....only 3 out of his 15 centuries resulted in a win.....what a pathetic ratio....he either score runs on flat pitch or on first day of the test match....In the middle of his career and he has only one century in the 2nd inning....again pathetic record......hardly 2 (I do not see the record book....just recollecting on what I have seen).
Re: Re: Re: Re: we expect too much from sehwag...
by Jay on Nov 23, 2009 11:43 PM
It is not only the centuries that you have to see. Even the 90 odd he scored vs Aus or the 80 against Eng in Chennai were winning efforts.
His contribution to winning has been the aggressive batting. He averages more than 50 per inning in the Tests won by India. To win a Test in pitches like Multan you need a very big score, that was possible only through Sehwag.
After Richards & jayasurya.....Sehwag is the only entertaining batsman in the modern cricket era....he doesnt play for records.....but when he bats he breaks all the records.....Sehwag u r the best entertainer.
Re: SEHWAG
by sunil k on Nov 23, 2009 06:59 PM
It's a team game...and cricket is a sport...he should play for team needs according to the situations..should be selective in his stroke play...opening batsmanship requires discipline and team rquires good solid starts...by playing 20-30 balls and getting out for a rash stroke doesnot make team task easy....by the way...he is no way near richards n jayasurya in terms of performing to the team needs....they never used to throw away their wickets like him...he should learn to correct his technical falts against moving deliveries....otherwise most of u dont call him an entertainer but a "joker"...
Re: Re: SEHWAG
by ramakrishnan s on Nov 23, 2009 09:21 PM
Sunil, sehwag has scored triple hundreds and double centuries which couild not have come in if has not stayed for long. He has scored centuries all over the world be it swing, pace, spin..so get ur facts right buddy!
Re: Re: Re: SEHWAG
by sunil k on Nov 23, 2009 10:06 PM
No he hasent played on all conditions in test cricket...just a bit of swing and movement he is gone...all his scores in test cricket are on very flat pitches....hasent scored on a swinging pitch conditions and a difficult match situations consistantly....just 1 or 2 inningses are not a proof....should play consistantly well on those pitches over a period of time like dravid does.....doesent adapt to the match situation or pitch situation...more of a headache for team india rather than an advantage....only plays on batting friendly pitches...he has given more problems for dravid over a long period of time by getting out with in a first few overs of the match...doesent play for team needs...thinks of his own game rather than team situations....these are facts
Re: Re: Re: Re: SEHWAG

1) in a test match against australia Sehwag made 194 out of 366 runs. He was the 4th one to be out and that time the score was 311. India made 360 odd runs in this match. 2) India vs Sri Lanka, Sehwag made 201 out of 329 runs, Remaining teams contribution 128 including xtras, more so they had all the time in hte world to score the runs as it was a 5 day match. So, even if the pitch was flat, the remaining 10 players cud not make what Sehwag had made. In SL match, he made twice the number of runs than what the other 10 had made. Atleast he made runs when the remaining players had faltered :)
Re: Re: SEHWAG
by sreedhar on Nov 24, 2009 02:49 AM
ya so someone shud score on flat pitches ...so will ur grandfather come and score those runs..in test series..it is not only abt winning or losing ..a draw has very good value..in this era of batting we can observe a lot of 1-0 series victories..in such cases batsmen such as sehwag can titl the match in india s favor in a matter of sessions....so ur angle of thinking is basically flawed.
Sehwag is the guy who has hit 300 in SA, AUS. He played well in NZ, Aus,SA , the 3 countries who produced good pitches and now in India with more and more good pitches. You dont want the players like this Guy to get into a shell and destory himself. Play and enjoy the game and have the most dominance and good influence over what he does on the game. A quick fire 50 and 100/1 is better than a very slow 30 and gettign out at 50/1, so shut all holes and get away from here.

by Saumitra Sharma on Nov 23, 2009 06:00 PM
you go n play, even you yourseld don;t have any thing to prove to others, kept your id with great word GOD. you must be useless man.
This is a nonsense statement frm a captain...everyone knows that sehwag is a flat pitch bully..under these batting friendly pitches he can throw his bat and score few quick runs...but what abt under good pitch conditions and quality pace attack..?? his batting is deteriorating match by match, dont have proper technic against moving deliveries, repeatedly getting out in a similar manner, not able to rectfy his technical problems, not even able to play more than 25-30 balls at the beginning of the innings on a good pitch....he is giving more headaches to team rather than good starts...dont know what the coach and captain doing on this... it's totaly a foolishness to defend an opener of such mentality and technic .. instead captain should put him under more responsible state of mind by demanding him to play for team needs...at this moment it is better to try out murali vijay, a descent player with proper technic as an opener, this will creat more competition at the opening position....then see how sehwag responds....simply defending an erring player is not a good sign of a captain....better replace sehwag with murali vijay a conventional opener with better technic who is playing realy well...
Re: nonsense
by ramakrishnan s on Nov 23, 2009 09:24 PM
Hye buddy, first get ur facts right and not merely show ur dislike for a person. If he was flat track bully as u say how come he has scored centuries all over the world! Murli vijay? Tomorrow u wd want sachin to be replaced by badrinath and then zaheer by balaji! lol
Re: Re: nonsense
by sunil k on Nov 23, 2009 10:20 PM
Yes in 1 dayers all countries prepare batting pitches....in tests all his good scores are on batting paradises...but on other conditions....just enough swing and movement....he is back in the dressing room in test cricket...never challenges him self to fight it out on these kind of pitches and match situations...simply givesup and sits in the dressing room....have u watched him playing on these sort of pitches...???? in test cricket...??

faltu players doesn't score 300 runs twise. he has scored 199 runs at sydney against quality pace attack of Lee, Macgrath.He is a Gem of indian cricket and whant dhoni says is correct. batsman who scored 300 runs 2 times doesnot have to tell how to bat and about murali fi you have given 20 years then also he will not score 300 runs.Other g8 indian batsman can only dream of making 300 runs but he has realised this. If you know cricket then you should know how valuable for the players to score 300 runs and what stamina and concentration needs for scoring 300 runs.

big innings. Please check his last few hundreds in test cricket have all beeen scores above 150.
