Says the fan of a team whose whole batting lineup has been singlehandedly owned by Sehwag. Still waiting for those scintillating innings produced by Inzi, Yusuf & Anwar in Aus or SA :hysterical:

Anwar played 15 matches in SA, Aus, Eng and NZ. Never played in WI. Sehwag in his first 15 matches in those countries Runs : 1230 Avg : 47.3 HS : 195 SR : 75.97 100s : 4 No code has to be inserted here. Anwar in his 15 matches Runs : 1205 Avg : 43.03 HS : 176 SR : 58.83 100s : 4 No code has to be inserted here.

[panther]

even draws can't save sehwag, no doubt anwar is in a league above sehwag.

Will Ad homo remarks do? :dontknow:

[Ultimate_Game]

even draws can't save sehwag' date=' no doubt anwar is in a league above sehwag.[/quote'] Yup in the leagues of Inzi & Yusuf who used to cr@p their pants in Aus and SA. I'm sure looking at their performances in Aus & SA they weren't brand ambassadors for diapers :haha:

sorry I don't see your point?

ok than internet gladiator. is this your best reply.

[JaFanatic]

That actually would be a much better comparison than Akmal & Kohli or Anwar & Sehwag :hysterical::cantstop:

yea to compare a batsman who has scored two triple hundreds and reached the pinnacle of test rankings to a paki's ATG(or one of the worst mediocre batsman in cricket history-you can take it either way doesn make any diff though) is an insane

[Ultimate_Game]

By the way has Anwar recovered after getting owned by Debashish Mohanty :hysterical: Still remember Mohanty making Anwar his bi@tch in 90s :haha:

[panther]

sehwag fans have completely lost it.

[Trichromatic]

sorry I don't see your point?

Sehwag did better than Anwar in his 15 matches against those oppositions (Eng, SA, Aus, Eng and WI). It's not that hard to understand. :dontknow: Now you can claim that had Anwar played 34 matches against those oppositions, he would have done better as he was not a FTB and averaged 43 there.

Sehwag did better than Anwar in his 15 matches against those oppositions (Eng, SA, Aus, Eng and WI). It's not that hard to understand. :dontknow:

so anwar overall has a far better record.

[Crookbond]

No this is! :finger:

[Ultimate_Game]

Maybe the irony of a Paki (and a fan of Inzi, Yusuf & Anwar to boot) calling Sehwag a FTB is lost on a few :haha:

[Trichromatic]

Yes and Sehwag hasn't retired yet. He could end up with better record in future or may have much poorer record. But fact remains that Sehwag did better than Anwar in same number of matches in those countries since his debut. If 15 matches can be basis for judging Anwar then why not same for Sehwag? It's harder to maintain same performance for many series in country especially in away matches.

[JaFanatic]

just because anwar had beard on his face ppl should not think he was the amla of pakistanB->
