Sehwag had done similar thing in the past in India by pushing the ball over boundary to deny a single to the batsman so that he did not face bowler in the next over. but the umpire gave five runs to the batsman. Has sehwag forgotten his own cleverness. everybody does it at appropriate time.

You are trying to win a match there,. In this case you are depriving someone of a century by using back handed things from which you your slef dont really gain anything. It may not violate any rules of game but certainly violates sportsmanship. It was a cheap thing to do.
If Randiv had legitimately tried to prevent sehwag by bowling well or even making sure he doesnt get the strike, it would have been fine. But throwing a no ball and not even giving him a chance is a cheap shot...
High caharcter and good sprtsmanship is when you are able to appriciate other persons game and give him his due, even while playing tough.
When you are playing backhanded things to simply prevent other player from getting his due, i think that very cheap...it shows that you can appriciate and digest other peoples success.

I'm not blaming bowlers tactics... But the six Sehwag hit should be considered in his tally of runs since the bowl will be counted...
