Please do ...  and spice up the forum

He will make the squad when he is around 25. Will get dropped without getting a game. Will make a comeback at number 7 in ODIs at the tender age of 33 and will be shown the door after 2 games under this sort of overly conservative selection panel. Nobody takes T20 internationals seriously and yet India is scared shitless of giving young blood a go.

His batting style is like sehwag, but unique about sehwag was his mindset  and he destroyed spinner which shaw got exposed against in IPL. 

SO lets not make comparisons now

Sehwag was an FTB or STB.  Is there a doubt about it?

Rkt have you totally lost it. Viru is a freak batsmen.

Exposed is a strong word. Everytime a batsman gets out does not mean he is exposed. I do not see any obvious weakness in his game against spinners.

You are reacting like it's some secret or heard for the first time.

So you are saying that his centuries in England or Australia or even during the 2002 tour of Newzealand was a fluke or scored on flat tracks? You don’t rate Sehwag then?

Which century he scored in 2002 test series or in England tests? He was mediocre in SA too.

His centuries in NZ were in ODIs but they were great too since hardly any batsman could cross 50 in that series.

Every batsman has issues,no one is perfect

The point here was people think Shaw can be like Veeru ,which I disagree because it's not easy to be like Veeru

BTW for your wisdom

100 at Nottingham in 2002

Twin 100s at NZ 2002 

100 va NZ at Dambulla 2010

200 at Galle 

are some of the knocks of top of my head when he looked class apart from others ,so he was definitely way way better than flat track 100 and spicy pitch 0

 

Veeru downfall in tests especially overseas started when started disrespecting the conditions, which he never used to before ,his failures in NZ 2009,SA 2010 were result of that

Who cares.   I and many other people enjoyed his batting more than many   " good " batsmen "    : )

 

If Shaw can become even 80% of what Sehwag was, most fans would have a gala time.

 

 

even I enjoyed Sehwag's batting, but what fact is a fact and cant be ignored.

Here, I am talking about tests because Shaw scored runs in a 4-day game there he has been compared with how Sehwag batted, not ODIs.  Sehwag was a better test batsman.

 

Sehwag averages 33 in test cricket in SA, NZ, England, and Australia.  1-2 good or bad games or a 100 does not make a batsman great or bad.  It is the whole career that decides whether the batsman was good or not.  On a good day, even Yuvraj scored a 100 on a green pitch when we were 61/4 in a test match.

Yuvi was just an example that anyone can score on his day, but it is consistency that makes you great.  Do you know what FTB means? SENA countries are where you dont get flat pitches often enough and FTBs are exposed.  Neither I said Sehwag was not a test great, but it does not mean he was good non-flat pitches.  What is the criteria of greatness in tests for a batsman form SC, doing well in SENA and for SENA batsmen, doing well in SC.  Dravid averages 48 in SENA countreis, SRT 51. For me, anyone who can average 40 plus in SENA countries combined is a test great.  I still consider Sehwag a great because he was just one level above everyone else in familiar conditions and at the pace he batted.

In tennis news, Roger Federer & Pete Sampras have been just classified as grass & turf bullies since neither consistently won the French Open.

Flat track or spicy pitch is the same for one or test. You said Shaw is a flat track bully regardless of one day or tests. Sehwag at his peak has played some good innings under spicy conditions. Few examples are given above to which your response is absurd like he averages 33 in tests.

There are definitely more examples than "just on his day" in case of Veeru.Also going by this inane criteria of particular averages in SENA countries and Sub-continent,Ricky ponting was also well short of greatness

You should look at Veeru's dismissals post Aus tour 2008,you ll find he got out more because of his own blunders/impatience than bowler or spicy pitches

BTW Veeru was as susceptible on difficult tracks as any other batsman,mind you turners , which you get in Sub-continent are sometimes more challenging than so called spicy wkts of Eng ,Aus etc

[UrmiSinhaRay]

In any other country, Prithvi would have got the nod sooner than later.
However in Virat-Shastri-Dhoni Ram Rajya, Rohit Sharma will play for 10 more years while Shaw will grow old and end up coaching kids in Shivaji Park.
