TheYuvi02 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Main contenders are obviously Sehwag, Raina and Dhoni, and this is not just based on the England series otherwise everyone except Dravid would have to be mentioned :giggle: Sehwag avg in tests NZ: 20.00 SA: 25.46 Eng: 27.80 compared to career average of 52.26 Dhoni avg in tests SA: 31.44 Aus: 17.62 compared to career average of 38.14 Raina avg in tests Eng: 13.12 SA: 3.00 compared to career average of 29.58 :facepalm: Who is the biggest FTB? Considering his reputation would say it's Sehwag, he is a walking wicket when the ball is swinging but Raina against the short ball makes Dada look like Viv Richards :hysterical:
Trichromatic Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 yuvi? Raina and yuvi can't play spin either. Sehwag can destroy bowlers on turners. Dhoni isn't a bully.
1983-2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 what about yuvraj, have you got stats on him in test cricket? am not saying he's ftb btw
TheYuvi02 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 what about yuvraj' date=' have you got stats on him in test cricket? am not saying he's ftb btw[/quote'] Yuvi is not a test player everyone knows that... here I am talking about players who are a definite selection for the test team but I will still post it for u. In tests Aus: 4.25 NZ: 31.25 WI: 17.33
TheYuvi02 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 yuvi? Raina and yuvi can't play spin either. Sehwag can destroy bowlers on turners. Dhoni isn't a bully. Unless he is playing Pakistan on the highways of Lahore
Trichromatic Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Yuvraj can't bat in tests after playing 250+ ODIs. He should be at the top. He will get chance if he remains fit.

Trichromatic Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Raina is not a test player either. just because he got chance in 7 tests doesn't mean he is a test player. Yuvraj Raina

TheYuvi02 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Raina is not a test player either. Someone forgot to tell the selectors :(( because he has played 15 tests in one year
daryl1985 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Sehwag does seem to be a bit of an FTB as his stars in ENG, NZ and SA seem to suggest. However, i do think that he can score runs in tough conditions if he applies himself a little more. If he is an FTB, then he is probably the greatest FTB there has ever been.
Andy Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 If Sehwag is a FTB then anyone in this Line Up can be called that as well. Most of them failed in this series. Waiting for that series where he will answer all his critics.
Deleted_User_1 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have always said, give Sehwag a subcontinental ptich and he will murder bowlers, but on a seaming/swinging pitch he is a bunny and less so on bouncy pitches as well. So yes he is the best STB I have seen, probably the greatest.

Waiting for that series where he will answer all his critics. Sehwag failed in the last series he played as well which was in SA when the ball was swinging.
Andy Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Sehwag failed in the last series he played as well which was in SA when the ball was swinging. And how many times he got out to the moving ball?
Cricket Tragic Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Someone forgot to tell the selectors :(( because he has played 15 tests in one year FTB/HTB/STB means someone who is very good in certain conditions but pretty poor elsewhere. You still have to be good in something. Raina is not very good under any conditions in test cricket.
TheYuvi02 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 And how many times he got out to the moving ball? Out of the 6 innings i think he got out to steyn 4 times.. and the ball was swinging even though not a lot but steyn always gets the ball to swing in SA.
