Magneto Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Sehwag was out in the 44th over. He still had 6 more overs to bat. 46.3 Pollard to Sehwag, OUT, 106.2 kph, He is gone. He hasn't batted 50 overs till, but look at that score. Sehwag has mis-hit this attempt at hitting a six over long-off. Ends up skying this to Martin at long-off. Almost every West Indian has come up to shake his hand before he walks off. Rohit congratulates him too. And just before he crosses the fence, Sehwag looks back and raises his bat for the crowd. Lovely response from them V Sehwag c sub (A Martin) b Pollard 219 (149b 25x4 7x6) SR: 146.97

Tiger80 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 My argument of ODI batting being cracked dunn mean all games will be high scoring ones. The main point is that I attribute high scores to style of play first and only then the others. In fact if I had to theorize and pick the key influencing factors for high scores I would arrange them in the following order - 1. Style of play 2. ODI rules (PPs) 3. Quality of batting equipment (edges go for sixes) 4. Pitches Bowlers have actually become better overall (do not compare ATGs here) I don't think Bowlers have actually become better.If you are looking at averages or strike rates then you should also remember that number of minnows have increased dramatically from the 90s.In subcontinent Windies,NZ ,BD ,Zim could be conisdered as minnows .Sl and England too are not very good when conditions don't suit them .On the other hand in 90 s only Zimbabwe was considered as minnow but with Andy flower and Heath streak they too were quite strong on several occasions. I also want to give you one example of average bowler Venky now compare him with any pacer of India 2000s except ZK and you will find Venky much better than him

Sachin=GOD Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 200 in odi is probably 400 or somewhere near to that in tests. I don't think so. Now that the 200 barrier has been broken twice, we will see many more scores of 200+ in ODIs whereas 400 in Test will be very, very, very rare.
Magneto Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 We will not see MANY more 200+ scores. There might be one odd 200 in 3 years, but that will be it. Presently, there are two people in the world who can do it - Gayle and Watson, and I would rather not put my money on Watson. It can be done by an opener only, a devastating one, and I don't see any devastating opener in the world other than David Warner.

IMO the batsmen who can do it are Sehwag (again :--D), Watson, Gayle, ABDV and a few more can also do it.
bulbul Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 IMO the batsmen who can do it are Sehwag (again :--D)' date=' Watson, Gayle, ABDV and a few more can also do it.[/quote'] Sachin :((
Sachin=GOD Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Sachin :(( Have already said earlier in the thread that he may do it again.
Blue Panther Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I dont know which one is tougher, but opening stupid threads like this are easier.
Magneto Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 IMO the batsmen who can do it are Sehwag (again :--D)' date=' Watson, Gayle, ABDV and a few more can also do it.[/quote'] ABDV has to open for that.
Sachin=GOD Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ABDV has to open for that. Its not necessary. Many times the openers fall very early in the innings and #3 and #4 have nearly the whole 50 overs.
Magneto Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 But they fall short by 10-12 runs, the balls that has been consumed by the openers. And ABDV comes at No.4, his chances of scoring a 200 is as similar to Sachin's chances of scoring a 400 in Tests.
ganeshran Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Sehwag was out in the 44th over. He still had 6 more overs to bat. He was out in the 47th over.
vamos_rafa Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 But they fall short by 10-12 runs, the balls that has been consumed by the openers. And ABDV comes at No.4, his chances of scoring a 200 is as similar to Sachin's chances of scoring a 400 in Tests. Sachin's batting position is at #4 while Lara batted at #3. Sachin may never score a 400 in tests but how does a difference of 1 in batting positions restrcit him?
Magneto Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Sachin's batting position is at #4 while Lara batted at #3. Sachin may never score a 400 in tests but how does a difference of 1 in batting positions restrcit him? You have misunderstood my point. Sachin's not being able to score a 400 in Tests is just to give an example of an improbability, just as a general example. It is in no way related to his batting position in Tests. Even if Sachin opens in Tests, I don't think he can ever reach 400. The point is mainly about the fact that ABDV will never score a double in ODIs from No.4.
f.b.m Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Not sure how many times a score of 400 would be necessary unless its scored at a SR of 100 or so. Even Lara's 400 is widely criticized for converting a win into a draw. Only Sehwag and Gayle are capable of such innings on sufficiently flat wickets. There is no problem of declaring to force a win to score 200 so I wouldnt be surprised if an opener breaks this record. Flukeratne Dilshan or someone like him can easily minnow bash his way past 219 imo.
carnish Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 400 in tests can be scored by only a few players these days as the emphasis these days are for results... people and media wont accept draw results that easily for personal milestones and therefore if someone can make 400 in tests he has to do it at nearly 100 SR giving enough time for the captain to declare without having to take criticism.. However 200 in ODIs is very much a possibility for anyone who comes in top 3 for a team however batters coming at No.4 or below have really no chance to get a 200 since these scores will only come on flat tracks and on such tracks it will be very difficult to loose both openers so early in the innings
mishra Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I don't think so. Now that the 200 barrier has been broken twice' date=' we will see many more scores of 200+ in ODIs whereas 400 in Test will be very, very, very rare.[/quote'] May be, You may be right. But 200 in odi can only be scored by a opener or first down batsman.... Looking all over the world, I dont see any other batsman who has potential to do it(unless its vs a proper minnow like Canada).. Also 400 in tests is possible. Problem is Sehwag and Sehwag alike want to score it in one day to force a result and make it look exciting. And for that they will also need luck of gifted a lifeline too....
