If Shewag thinks Bangladesh is such a bad side, then why not give a chance to Kohli and Raina instead of Dravid and Laxman. At least those boys are quick on the field.
Shewag is an all-time master batter, but a subpar leader - because strategic communication is an essential part of leadership. What Nathan (below) says is quite immature. You do not display *guts* by bad-mouthing your opponent, but total stupidity. And I am not talking about being an ambassador etc. Suppose you declared that your opponent is weak, and then beat him, your victory would not improve your image, but your (chance) defeat will make you look stupid. But if you said something like *oh, my opponent has some good shots, or he can play well on his day* then you have *hedged* your future. Also, consider any world champion - who (other than Mohamid Ali) ever says, I am the greatest? Federer? no. Tiger Woods? no. Sachin Tendulkar (the greatest batter of all time)? never. Putting down the opponent before the game only helps to motivate them and their faan-base. Praising them can serve to catch them off-guard.

VIRU DIDNT TELL THEY ARE THE BEST OR THEY CAN BEAT EVERYONE... HE JUST SAID BDESH IS A ORDINARY TEST PLAYING NATION... SO WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL IN IT????AUSI ALWAYS SAY THEY WILL BEAT THE OPPOSING TEAM 5-0..BE A SPORT MAN...BTW FROM WHEN DID SRT BECAME THE greatest batter of all time ..SO IS THIS NOT A BOASTING BY U
Sehwag is an idiot! He talks like he bats - without thinking. Works for his cricket but not when he is captain of the Indian team and must serve as an ambassador. India-Bangladesh relations are beginning to improve with Hasina and this moron has to say somtheing stupid right then. Along with him India has to eat humble pie.

viru wasnt wrong in a way. read red1f article.
"Such is the gap in ratings points between India and Bangladesh that even if Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men win the series 1-0, India will drop to 123 points, while a 1-1 draw will put them alongside South Africa on 120 but ahead of the Proteas by a fraction of a point."
isnt it ridiculous that inspite of our winning against bangla, v vl lose the points. that way, viru wasnt wrong.

What Sehwag said was the truth and why do you expect Sehwag to be a Psudo-Secularist like the grt MMS who said Pakistan is also a victim of Terrorism"."Talk about nonsense.Atleast he had the guts to say what it is and why are u blaming him for that he atleast scored some runs what happened to ur run machines.For the non-performance of others Don't blame sehwag.If u think Bangladesh is performing well because of Sehwag's statements then think again this Bangladesh team will not win a single match even in the Ranji Plate League.

Mr.Joshi people like u are the people who bring the country two steps down as soon as it strides five steps.People like u have no sense of self-Honour and are willing to bow before them for showmanship.Why don't u accept the hard reality that Bangladeshis are an ordinary side or r u an illegal Bangladeshi Immigrant?

I was replying to Mr.Joshi who even if he knew that Bangladesh is far far inferior than India wanted to India to kneel in front of them and make diplomatic statements like grt MMS.What is wrong in Sehwag has said?Should he comment that they are a very talented side with capability of beating any top side?........

Mr.Hassan celebrate for now as these kind of days are really rare for you we can very well understand ur feelings.But at the sametime also be ready for the backlash u will be facing soon which will continue to re-enforce the fact that u r nothing but an ordinary side.HAHAHAHA.
