coffee_rules Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Looks like he is very popular in BD. Everytime he came on screen (bat or bowl or speak), he was jeered. The way he said "Yes, a lot of Indians are very popular in BD" with a dead-pan expression to RJS at the presentation ceremony was priceless.
Lord Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 If his words backfired' date=' how many would use this argument of "its just his nature" in his defense ?[/quote'] most sane person would.if we fail,it will be because of playing bad cricket,not his words. if BD do get 20 wickets in Dhaka test,it'll be bad batting by us n good bowling by BD.Sehwag's words r irrelevant once the match starts.

And if somebody then asks him, Do you agree Bangladesh can now get 20 wickets, expect him to say Yes, but it's a one off they can't do it regularly.

thevortex Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 If his words backfired' date=' how many would use this argument of "its just his nature" in his defense ?[/quote'] I would - most definitely. The match result in no way impinges on Sehwag's nature - does it? ________ Buy Bubblers

That is what brings so much impact to them, I guess. :) ________ Dean live
champ Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 viru pawned the press too who were pulling his leg .. :hehe:
champ Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 i dont know if you guys heard sehwag taunting shakib when he was batting like "come on guys they are looking to win the match" based on sakibs previous comments .. that was hilarious .. viru u are funny :hysterical:
keevua Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 bangladeshi fans shouldnt say anything bad about him or boo him..in india they treat their cricketers like Gods so it would be an insult to their religion ofcourse blasphemy occurs when they start burning effergies of their gods
zubinpepsi Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 i love the fact how padosis from both sides are getting riled up on his comments..
champ Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 i love the fact how padosis from both sides are getting riled up on his comments.. they seem to be connected by an invisible bond .. :winky:
Karan114 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 i love the fact how padosis from both sides are getting riled up on his comments.. :dito:
Sachinism Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Padosi's get wound up over anything related to India. I'm sure they didn't say anything when McGrath was predicting 5-0 whitewashes of England or whoever they played
vvvslaxman Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 lol Viru is pretty blunt. No sugar coating. Best way Bong players earn some compliments from Sehwag is by playing for Delhi Daredevils. or any side where Sehwag is part of. You can hear things like "We have Murali. he will do the job for us" "Vettori is the best spinner in the world" "Gambhir is ideal for captaincy"

thevortex Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I dont think he said Vettori is the best spinner in the world - did he? If he did, I would be among the first to disagree with him :) ________ Karin1
thevortex Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Add "Nannes is the quickest bowler I've ever faced" Oh, Nannes sure is fearsome. His first delivery - sans any warmup on field - on most days rocketed in at 148 kmph! I dont know if there have been faster left arm bowlers ever. How fast did Alan Davidson bowl? Any idea anybody? ________ Colorado Dispensary

If he did' date=' I would be among the first to disagree with him :)[/quote'] "At the moment Daniel (Vettori) is the best spinner in the world," Sehwag said. http://cricket.rediff.com/special/2009/apr/20/sehwag-on-vettori.htm
The Outsider Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Some seem to be missing the notion that if Bangladesh would have taken 20 wickets, Sehwag would have been grilled in the media, by fans, and experts. Everyone would have had a field day. It takes innate courage to drive home the point after getting so close to being proven wrong. Remember how cricinfo and the Indian media literally creamed all over themselves after India's ordinary first innings?
nballa Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 sehwag needs to learn to respect the opposition. such statements make him a bad ambassador for the game.
