V.Sehwag?

[Dhondy]

How does that qualify as a lesser pressure situation?

silly arguments guys...

Sehwag would be least bothered. He's probably snoring away after having 6 Aloo Parathas, 10 Puris with Chana, 3 desi ghee Jalebis and 4 Gulab Jamuns.

Given our track record at home vs. abroad I thought it would be obvious that any challenge is more difficult abroad than at home.

Any runs sehwag scores will always look pressure free. As an opener he makes or breaks pressure. His 250+ vs Pak chasing 600+ looks pressure free as well after the innings was played. It didnt look so when we started chasing a 600 run total against our arch rivals in their own back yard.

It was a road. Boycott's mom could have scored there. Following are the standards set by Sehwag recently : 1. Against England @ home he scored 95 runs 2. Against SA away he scored 89 runs (40 in the middle order) Karthik will clear both these benchmarks set by Sehwag by the end of this test match. He has already scored more runs as an opener in England than Sehwag did in SA.

But so was the next test, where Dhoni paraded to his 140. Begs the question, wasnt the great one good enuff to score even on that patta ? Road or no road, playing your best vs Pakistan is not easily done. Pressure of playing against Pakistan always plays a bigger role than other challenges.

Ok who will you drop to play Sehwag as an opener - Karthick or Jaffar

And I don't rate that Dhoni hundred much either, why should I make a special consideration to Sehwag. The first 2 tests were played on absolute roads. I don't quite understand how you manage to bring up Tendulkar in every post. As I said, Tendulkar deserves a much bigger rope than Sehwag for a host of reasons I have mentioned.

That's the dilemma the unconditional Sehwag lovers are facing now when both have scored good runs. So the next strategy they are trying to purport is to get him in the middle order ahead of Tendulkar.
