Viv conveyed aptly, Sehwag is the most destructive player considering his statistics which talks consistent fast big hundreds like Bradman. 2 fast triple, 15 fast 150 hundreds. Never gets bowled,lbw'ed,caught behind ,slip catch frequently. Thats the hallmark of true batsmanship, solid defence, stand and deliver, hitting the same length ball in multiple directions. All about Sehwag is bradmanisque. Hail Sehwag as no in the past20 yrs have the records like him. Hailllll Sehwag. I heard people talk about Sachin wicket as prized wicket. Thats bullshit, Sehwag wicket is the prized wicket.

Boss! Pollard is yet to make his debut in Test arena. To talk of someone who is yet to taste the real cricket against someone who is been the destructive batsman - read opener for almost a decade is immature.

Yes i agree with you completely. Sehwag is way ahead of Pollard as he has not proved it in Test or internatinal cricket. You can compare Yusuf Pathan and Kieron Pollard.
Imran is a foool... haq was a very poor runner...he cannot bowl..except one or two innnigs HAQ scores was not timely..u judge a cricketer based on overall performance

No Chris Tavare. Once he played a whole session and scored 2 runs..

he is one of the most reliable...otherwise he would not scored so many triple and double centuries...only reliable players can score like that...

raju: visit rediff forums after the tour of SA and we can see how much Sehwag has scored overall. I know if he stays around, he can be dangerous but there is a big IF.

Raju Subramani:
Despite scoring "so many" triple and double centuries if one's average is still in the 40's ...then that itself shows a lack of reliability... Baaki,sab,theek,hai

Sorry to say but all you guys are moving away from the point. It is about the most destructive batsman not about the most consistent batsman. And Yes Sehwag is the most consistent among the destructive batsman in the current era in Test cricket.

Punter sehwag is the most explosive opener, but he is also the most reliable one. Dont take name of Sachin

Thats a oxymoron, you can't be desructive and reliable. He averages more than Richards, is close to maing more centuries than him. Also has more double nd triple centuries than Richards.
So reliability is not the right word for a desructive batsman.
