Trap For Sehwag!

[Sid]

Well,SL really had a good plan to give Sehwag singles and keep most of the fielders in the deep to deny him boundaries and also to ball wide of the off stump to lure him to go at those wide ones and fortunately for SL and unfortunately for us he obliged in both the innings and threw his wicket Wat you guys think?

I dont think Welegedara got deserving wickets - both times. The first one was a Sehwag indiscretion. Big time. The second one was pure brilliance from Jayawardene. Sehwag will play uppishly there. You have to be special to get him there.

that is wat i am trying to say ,that indiscretion was brought about becoz he was not getting customary boundaries with that field setting

well where was our think then, their opener also scored majority of runs square of wicket what we do we leave gaps wide open and they cashed in big time.

that is wat i am trying to say ' date='that indiscretion was brought about becoz he was not getting customary boundaries with that field setting[/quote'] I dont think so. He was still getting his boundaries and was getting runs at such a good rate.

This is the way Veeru plays.Short and wide, he will go after it.On some occasions, h might look irresponsible, but i wont blame him coz thats his natural game, he will chase a ball in that zone and smash it hard.

I think those short and wide deliveries were intentional and there was always a fielder there for that upper cut.. So yes in the end worked pretty well for the lankans

we cant just say that.being an experienced bat,u hv to alter ur game acc. to the situation.i dont blame him for his 1st innings dismissal.but in the 2nd innings we were staring at defeat n needed batsmen to playlong n not flashy strokes.hes not there to entertain.hes there to win/save games for India. perhaps thats why he doesnt has that good record in 2nd innings.coz he cant control himself n change his game according to the needs of the team(except rare occasions like Adelaide Test)

nobody has been able to set any trap for Veeru LOL. He always finds ways to score runs.
