fineleg Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Sehwag's weakness to ball cramping him and onto his rib cage is well known. Laughable that M. Arthur is making a "new discovery"! Gambit: Not just Jermaine Lawson, even Brett Lee in the ODI series after Tests in 2004 exploited this. Lee got both SRT and VS with this onto the ribcage and caught at leg slip. Sehwag will always have this weakness, but on Indian pitches I dont know how effective short pitch bowling will be. Link to comment
cochise Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Sehwag will always have this weakness, but on Indian pitches I dont know how effective short pitch bowling will be. He has this weakness because of his stillness at the crease...which is also his strength. However, he can and should develop a strategy to counter these deliveries...instead of riding it and fending it high...he has to sway back or forward, hands dropped. I am sure they have worked with him on appropriate action. Let's see how well he implements it. Link to comment

Sehwag will always have this weakness, but on Indian pitches I dont know how effective short pitch bowling will be. I said Lawson and WI were the first. And I don't even remember Lee getting Sehwag and Sachin out in that ODI series in 2004 in that fashion. In fact, Sehwag wasn't even dismissed by Lee in that series. Link to comment
Tapioca Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Gambit: Not just Jermaine Lawson, even Brett Lee in the ODI series after Tests in 2004 exploited this. Lee got both SRT and VS with this onto the ribcage and caught at leg slip. IIRC, they were caught at fine leg/backward square-leg just inside the circle flicking, finey, not fending the short ball.

Mr. Wicket Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I believe both SRT and Sehwag got caught by Lee. And both unbelievable catches, as the ball literally was coming out of nowhere and very hard to pick up given the sun was setting. Link to comment
fineleg Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 ^ Yes, both SRT and Sehwag were out caught off the bowling of Lee, at short fineleg or legslip? Tapioca says flicking and not fending...umm maybe? Anyone else remember flicking or fending? Link to comment
Inside_edge Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 hmm chin music at Ahmedabad! Should be more like calf music unless they dish out bouncers alone. Why our spinners not talking abt ankle,toe music?oops! there goes Bhajji's teesra and choutha Link to comment
DomainK Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Sehwag quite comfortably gets under the bouncers. He can hit sixes over the slip cordon...he has learned that shot well from his master. I am not bothered about chin music from saffies.....when Sehwag starts his raga, they will have a tough time understanding the rythm. Link to comment

Both dismissals were to flicks down the leg side that should have been four, but happened to be caught quite superbly. Link to comment
