Sehwag more destructive than Richards

[Sachinism]

two double hundreds in first two innings - flat track bullies ;)..

No man, these players are from the olden days, so they're legends, nobody from the modern era can be that good

Sehwag rocks to the core. No team can stop him when he gets into the flow

No team can stop him, if that team manages to convince him they are not an ordinary side!!:hatsoff:

I think true genius of Sehwag will be realized only when he leaves the scene. The way he toyed with Sanga's field sets and negative line was simply astounding.

Very fair comment. I think, by the time he hangs up his boots, he would have redefined the art of batting. Note that I said 'art of batting', not science :). ________ LIVE SEX

That too against a completely exhausted (physically and mentally) English attack worn down with a few injury worries and a captain that was barely able to focus on the tour with other personal issues and major media criticisms. Ian Botham at the time was struggling w/ a lot of personal issues (with some serious controveries in the media over his marriage/personal life), wasn't focused on his cricket and had a really poor series - averaged 17 w/ the bat, 40+ with the ball in the tests. The rest of the attack was absolute crap, and on the classic St. Johns patta... it baffles me why this is lauded as such an amazing and epic innings when it was one very, very good batsman absolutely bludgeoning a totally sh-t attack into submission on a total road.

Viru Sehwag and Viv Richards have yet another thing in common - both had a steep terminal decline.:haha::haha::haha: Sehwag is surely the more dangerous of the two on pattas, but Richards could tear apart excellent bowlers in bowler friendly conditions. Richard's strike rates have to be viewed relative to his peers, and he is quite comparable to Sehwag. Gavaskar like batsmen, scoring at 40 S/R were the norm during Richards day and Richards was like 50% or more faster, that is why they looked at him with awe. Today, the typical test batsman is much faster, it is closer to 50 or 55 and Richards suddenly does not look so destructive by our standards.

Sehwag is definitely more destructive.Richards was destructive only for opposition

ashwin is the biggest padauda,so he is the most destructive

Like I had said before, it was always going to be interesting to watch Sehwag after the big 3 retired. Its one thing to be completely carefree and bat like you want when you have a strong middle order, quite another when you are the seniormost in the team with a new middle order. I had always said Sehwag might have tried a bit of caution but there were consitatnly people who claimed that thats the only way he can play. But that was always going to be very difficult when the spotlight turned on him and he was to be held accountable for every innings unlike the past. Everyone has to grow up sometimes and take responsibilty, even in sports. Or else you end up like Afridi
