So, was he the only batsman who batted on those flat tracks and the others went to another green one to bat on? As far as I remember, other batsmen from both sides also batted on the same pitch. So why the others could not do what Sehwag could do? Don't try to belittle one's achievement.
S.Bond Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Lets dont talk abt Batting paradise..if u thnk there are many batsmen who u claim to be greater dan Veeru in dis decade plz name!! First andy, let me tell you that the name of the thread is "... greatest player;... " not greatest batsmen... So if u want to compare, i am giving you just three names so far, they are others, BC Lara, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis...
S.Bond Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I find it annoying when people try to negate an achievement blaming it on flat wickets.

As far as I remember, other batsmen from both sides also batted on the same pitch. So why the others could not do what Sehwag could do? Don't try to belittle one's achievement.[/quote'] Because flat pitches suit shewag more than others, and i admit that on a batting pitch sehwag is probably the best batsman... But in lively conditions sehwag is still good, can be very dangerous but his chances to succeed become lesser...

And u didnt mention bowlers, So even if u talk abt Lara , Ponting and Kallis i'll wait and chck few stats and will reply u soon!!

Be strong to take it back.You dolittle other players achievements by calling them FTBs as well like Jawayardene & Yousuf. Others get annoyed too :sniffle:

Ok check your stats...

Others get annoyed too :sniffle: Chck their achievemnts abroad and compare it with Sehwag!! Chck their achievents agnst the best team and compare it wid Sehwag!! If scoring 195 in a single day agnst Aus at MCG, 150 at Adelaide is an achievemnt of an FTB!! Then am proud to be the biggest fan of the biggest FTB in the world!!
S.Bond Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I cant argue abt Non Existent facts!! That are facts, actually to know who is the greater cricketer, stats always tell you all... For example, you should look at what people did when team needed them badly... I am not tageting sehwag by saying this because i think he played some good innings under pressure to rescuee team india...

I am not tageting sehwag by saying this because i think he played some good innings under pressure to rescuee team india... Sehwag has scored 2 tons on bowlers paradise in NZ!! Where no batsman frm either teams were able to manage a 50!! He scored a debut ton in SA!! he has tons in AUS, in Eng!!

Others get annoyed too :sniffle: For a supposed great of his era.. yusuf has been extremely poor against Aus and SA averaging in 20's. Two major bowling line-ups of his time.
S.Bond Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Looking at Cricinfo's statsguru I can't find these two hundreds you're speaking of. The man don't make difference between one day, test or twenty 20 crricket...
Andy Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Looking at Cricinfo's statsguru I can't find these two hundreds you're speaking of. Remember 2002 Odi series in NZ??
