Sehwag, the bowler

[Lurker]

It is you who in your infinite idiotic wisdom interpreted by statement along the lines of Sehwag becoming a full time bowler. Salil and most others got it right. Most tracks overseas are not conducive enough for spin to play two specialist spinners as part of a 4 man bowling attack and if Sehwag works on his bowling he can fill in the void of a specialist spinner on a day 5 pitch to an extent and at the same time allow us to play 3 specialist seamers.

Ah so lets get this straight. A dumb retarded statement of "Sehwag becoming a full time bowler" has now to be coated with tens of excuses. Yeah right. Allow me to pull some facts for your retarded comment now. At the start of the West Indies series: 45 Tests 3 wickets@139.66 His away record at this stage 23 Tests 1 wickets@ 222. Yeah sure that qualifies him for being a part-time bowler. A batsman who at this stage averages close to 53 runs should change his game and become a bowler by concentrating on his bowling(where his average is a cool 140). Now that I think retard and Shwetabh does have a rhyme to it. Carry on!!!

Are you just going to keep on moaning like a b.itch in heat or going to show me where I said "Sehwag becoming a full time bowler"?

[f.b.m]

Lurker is just being intenionally dumb here, methinks. Its pretty obvious that shwetabh is saying that if Sehwag works on his off spin, then India doesnt have to play Harbhajan in overseas tests, while still having a handy off-spinning option.

[Mr. Wicket]

Yeah sure that qualifies him for being a part-time bowler. A batsman who at this stage averages close to 53 runs should change his game and become a bowler by concentrating on his bowling(where his average is a cool 140).

Where was it pointed out that Sehwag should change his game and become a bowler? The suggestion was that he should spend more time on his bowling and become something of a reliable go-to fifth bowling option a la Gayle, Styris or Symonds/Michelle Clarke.

[yoda]

Sehwag can barely keep his spot batting, record breaking scores on patta wickets notwithstanding. Don't think his bowling has much variation for him to seriously consider bowling in tests.

Well, those would be tasty. His however, arent.

If thats your best shot after being showed that Sehwag was clocking a grand 140 runs per wicket at this stage then I frankly have definitive sympathy for you. Let me know what is you expectation of a part-time bowler, just speaking from your ar$e doesnt make it so. And surely only a loony will look at a guy with 220 runs average abroad as part-timer, but hey whatever rocks your boat!

Are you a totally delusional retard? If I am discussing Sehwag's utility as a part time bowler in April 2008 would I look at his performances over the last 2 years and 12 tests when he has bowled 15 overs per test match or should I look at his performances from 2001 to 2006 when he bowled on average 2 overs per test match. Wait who am I trying to reason with here - the same retard who appears to have been the only one in this message board to have missed the point of the OP by a light year.

:hysterical: Retard rhymes better with Shwetabh so you can keep that one, throw a better (un)pleasantry my way. So now you have started singing hosanas about Sehwag's performance after being shown conclusively that he was averaging a SUPER 140 per wicket!! And 220 outside India! And guess what Professor Retard have to make him a part-time bowler!! You obviously have little idea on what a part-time bowler is, dont you Retard! Let me explain it you. In a team that already boasts of players like Sachin and Ganguly who BOTH have more wickets than Sehwag, we dont need a f@cking part-timer. Specially when he is struggling for a place in the side. Understood Retard? Still not convinced? Yes the same man you are advocating for has an average of 220 abroad. Better now Retard! Of course you are also stupid enough to realize that YOU, in your stupidity, was making those assertions simply because Harbhajan Singh was in a f@ck of a form. Remember that...retard? I say the same that I have asked you before, and in your high Blood Pressure you keep missing it. What the F@CK is your definition of a part-time bowler. Give me that definition and then we can carry this on. Better now Retard..Shwetabh I mean! xxxx

Did I start this thread when he was averaging 140 with the ball and was bowling on average 2 overs per test? You really are dense. I started this thread when he has been averaging 21 with the ball and bowling 15 overs per test.

Of really! What use will Ganguly be on a last day track? And if Harbhajan is not played abroad as a second spinner, will Ganguly be really as good as the third seamer who will be playing instead of Harbhajan? Ganguly's utility is as a third seamer in India when we are playing both Kumble and Harbhajan. As for Tendulkar, for some reason he has hardly been bowling over the last couple of years in case you venture out to actually watch some cricket before making one moronic statement after another. Oh and dimwitted retard, we are in 2008 and Sehwag has an average of 35 abroad and 22 over the last two years.

I say the same that I have asked you before, and in your high Blood Pressure you keep missing it. What the F@CK is your definition of a part-time bowler. Give me that definition and then we can carry this on.

Lol! Says someone who has a brick stuffed in his head which he thinks is a brain or else you would not have been the only retard on the message board to miss the meaning of the OP. Definition of part timer? Here are some from this very thread, now good luck getting them into your head :

Sehwag has the all traits of a very good spinner - guts, a cool head, ability to keep it consistent on a good length, ability to exploit conditions or alter his bowling method for less helpful situations, and the brains to outsmart opposition batsmen (which IMO a lot of other spinners around still lack). Having him in a role where he could bowl say 10-12 overs a day in a test in a couple of spells on a regular basis (not unlike a Gayle or Styris) could be very good for the test side.

The suggestion was that he should spend more time on his bowling and become something of a reliable go-to fifth bowling option a la Gayle, Styris or Symonds/Michelle Clarke.

An example of what I am talking about would be something on the lines of Gayle. He has started bowling more over the past few years and has given his side a good spin option without having to necessarily play a specialist spinner on tracks where spin role is going to be limited to the last day or so.

Sehwag can be an excellent part-timer,especially in Tests. If we can turn him into a Hooper/Gayle with the ball, it would be very very advantageous to us. Oh and whoever said we should play Bhajji-Kumble in Sri Lanka must be smoking something really weird. SL will ANNIHILATE Bhajji and if he averages below 50 with the ball (if he plays), i will eat my hat...an offie who is a total failure overseas will do well against SL who practice everyday against Murali,the God of offspin, in their own backyard ?!? I don't think so.

Sehwag is a very underrated bowler and doesn't get enough chances.

At our home and in Sri Lanka are very different. For one, SL batsmen arn't very happy tourists either. For two, Bhajji has been a home track bully from day1. For three, spinning wickets in India and in Sri Lanka are VERY different. In India, a Kanpur type track is the norm for spinning wickets, where the pitch crumbles, the odd delivery shoots through or keeps low/bounces a lot. In Sri Lanka, the pitch just gets slower and turns more and more...it doesn't have the variable bounce as pitches in India develop- which is another reason why Kumble hasn't done well in Sri Lanka either. On a pitch with consistent bounce, Bhajji is mediocre...on a pitch that is Sri Lanka's backyard,mark my words, Bhajji would be cannon-fodder.
