Warne confirms SACHIN IS NO 1


Recommended Posts

Sehwag came up to Snape and said: “We must lose this ball. I have a plan.” Next over, he whacked that ball clean out of the ground, forcing the umpires to pick another from the box that would obviously not reverse straight away. To which Sehwag said: “We are all right for one hour.” Smart, I say
Wow, what a cavalier attitude! No wonder he racks up runs in the millions, while his more acclaimed peers prod around, like searching for a lost key in the darkness. Its that refreshing attitude, care-free approach and stree-free mentality that makes Sehwag what he is: One of the most enjoyable batsman to watch. On the flip-side, people like Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Kallis and Dravid are human experiments on the testing the concentration levels of the brain. Its like they expend 250 calories/hour, merely thinking about their game, plotting were the bowler is going to bowl next, which gap to penetrate with how much precision and planning their stroke to the the minutest micrometer. For these guys, a sixer is an event, that happens once in a while if many things fall into place. For Sehwag, its can be the result of a silly decision the previous ball, along the lines of 'I-am-going-to-hit-the-next-ball-for-six'. Brilliant!

Any list an Aussie make without Steve Waugh in top 10 is highly biased and suspicious . That list of Warne was an absolute joke ,well top 10 wasn't that bad except Waugh being not there .Lee ,Harmison ,Akhtar ahead of Donald ,younis .

just read wat he says abt Veeru ....[Virender Sehwag is one of my favourite batsmen in world cricket today and one of my favourite personalities. This is a guy I would pay to watch. All right, he could get caught at third man to a big slash or a top edge in the first or second over, but he could just as easily bat for an hour in a way unmatched by anybody else in the world. You take pot luck with Sehwag, although the fact that he averages more than 50 in Test cricket shows that his style pays off for him more often than it does for most other batsmen with the same approach. Only Don Bradman and Brian Lara can match his achievement of scoring two triple-centuries in Test cricket, and the second of Sehwag's, against South Africa, came at better than a run a ball. Off the field, I find him to be a really funny guy. Jeremy Snape told me a great story about him while we were working together in the Indian Premier League. Sehwag and Snape were batting for Leicestershire against Middlesex when Abdul Razzaq started reverse swinging the ball in the way that the Pakistan bowlers do.
