Rajiv Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 U have soft spot for him , dont u ?:mama::mama::mama::mama: BTW I agree with ur post .. he doesn't offend anybody ! aree bacchha hain yaar
Desi Cartman Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 aree bacchha hain yaar aur Bacchi dhoond raha hai :giggle: Amits, so did u end up losing the bet ?
f.b.m Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Whats Sehwag's record when he comes in at 2 down? Ishant is the phaastest boller in the world? btw: I'm just trying to pull his leg and see if it comes off.
amits Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Fox Sports yesterday showed an innings by SRT .. u might remember this one SRt scored 150 @ adelaide http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausvind/engine/match/291354.html fall of wickets 1-34 (Pathan, 7.3 ov), 2-82 (Dravid, 23.2 ov), 3-122 (Sehwag, 32.5 ov), 4-156 (Ganguly, 41.6 ov), 5-282 (Laxman, 73.3 ov), 6-336 (Dhoni, 89.4 ov), 7-359 (Tendulkar, 96.3 ov), 8-466 (Harbhajan Singh, 131.3 ov), 9-468 (Singh, 132.3 ov), 10-526 (Kumble, 152.5 ov) sehwag scored 63 in the 1st innings before tendulkar came in. also, tendulkar came in at 82/2. i said tendulkar flops when coming in at situations like 20/2. and talking of tendulkars 153, sehwag played a 10 times better 150+ knock making 151 on a deteriorating 5th day pitch despite wickets falling all-around him in the same match itself. all u mumbai & sachin fans, sehwag is a much better batsman in test cricket than tendulkar. sehwag, even gives psychological blows to the opposition, something which tendulkar can only dream of giving. sehwag, will be looking to explode be it 100/0 at the start or 20/2. tendulkar, struggles & chokes at situations like 20/2 in test cricket

amits Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Whats Sehwag's record when he comes in at 2 down? Ishant is the phaastest boller in the world? btw: I'm just trying to pull his leg and see if it comes off. ishant is the fastest bowler in the world in the year 2008 only. in 2008, ishant has bowled at a top-speed152.7 kph. and in 2008, no other bowler has managed to bowl that fast
f.b.m Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 ishant is the fastest bowler in the world in the year 2008 only. in 2008' date=' ishant has bowled at a top-speed152.7 kph. and in 2008, no other bowler has managed to bowl that fast[/quote'] Umm. no, Brett Lee has bowed in excess of 155 kmph in the Adelaide test in the second inning. Sehwag had loads of plays and misses (and a dropped catch) that time. So he isnt the phaastesht. edit: His leg has come off. Lolz
Rajiv Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Not sure how cricket came into this, but no one can even kiss tendulkars feet in cricket, same goes for mumbai..be it the capital and its metro or some other sidy cities OK, now keep quiet..final

Desi Cartman Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 match is so slow man yes wickets arent falling quick enough :hysterical: waise Bharat is doing well ...
CSK Fan Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 sehwag scored 63 in the 1st innings before tendulkar came in. also, tendulkar came in at 82/2. i said tendulkar flops when coming in at situations like 20/2. and talking of tendulkars 153, sehwag played a 10 times better 150+ knock making 151 on a deteriorating 5th day pitch despite wickets falling all-around him in the same match itself. all u mumbai & sachin fans, sehwag is a much better batsman in test cricket than tendulkar. sehwag, even gives psychological blows to the opposition, something which tendulkar can only dream of giving. sehwag, will be looking to explode be it 100/0 at the start or 20/2. tendulkar, struggles & chokes at situations like 20/2 in test cricket 122 v England, Edgbaston 1996 India, opting to bat first, collapse to 214 before England ride on the Man-of-the-Match Nasser Hussain's fine 128 to gain a 99-run lead. On a third day's wicket offering uneven bounce India look set to crumble without a fight. No other batsman reaches even 20 as Tendulkar stands firm displaying superior technique, moving either back or forward with decisive footwork to make 122 off 177 balls. 169 v South Africa, Cape Town, 1996-97 Batting first, South Africa make a matchwinning 529. Playing only for honour, India find themselves groveling before Donald, Pollock, McMillan and Klusener. Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin get together at 58 for 5, and start spanking the bowling as if they were playing a club game in the park. They add 222 for the sixth wicket in less than two sessions, and Tendulkar has 26 boundaries in his score of 169. Even Donald says that he felt like clapping. 136 v Pakistan, Chennai, 1998-99 Few Indian batting performances have been as heroic, or as tragic. Chasing 264 in the fourth innings of a low-scoring match, India experience a familiar top-order collapse and are sinking fast at 82 for 5. Tendulkar finds an able ally in Nayan Mongia, and rebuilds the innings in a painstaking, un-Tendulkarlike manner. After helping add 136 for the sixth wicket, Mongia departs to an ungainly pull, and Sachin's back is also giving way. Tendulkar shifts up a gear or two and starts dealing only in boundaries. But one error of judgment and it's all over. Saqlain Mushtaq defeats his intended lofted on-drive with a magical ball that drifts the other way, catches the outer part of Tendulkar's bat and balloons up to mid-off. The tail disgrace themselves and India fall short by a gut-wrenching 13 runs 155 v South Africa, Bloemfontein, 2001-02 On the first day on an overseas series, India's plight is a familiar one - four down for 68, with all the wickets going just the way the South Africans expected - to rising balls. Tendulkar has a debutant for company, with another to follow. He takes 17 balls to score his first run, but 101 come off the next 97 deliveries. It isn't the prettiest of Tendulkar's Test tons, but it is one of the most savage, characterised by pulls and vicious upper-cuts. The South Africans have a plan for India, and Tendulkar makes a mockery of it. By the time Tendulkar's innings ended, India are reasonably well-placed, though they go on to lose the Test. 176 v West Indies, Kolkata, 2002-03 Trailing by 139 runs after the first innings, India are struggling to stay in the game at 87 for 4 when Tendulkar decides to stamp his class on the match. The full array of his strokeplay was on display as Tendulkar feasts on the West Indian attack with some gorgeous cover-drives and straight-drives. He finishes with 176 of the finest runs - including 26 fours peppered to all parts of Eden Garden - as India end up saving the match quite comfortably. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will agree that all of the above cited examples are worse situations than your 20/2 theory. In fact, Sachin has scored in high pressure situations more often than Sehwag has scored more than 50 in any situation on any pitch thorughout his career. About Sehwag giving pschological blows and Sachin not I can only conclude you started watching cricket after 2002. Bowlers used to p!ss their pants when Sachin was at the crease and most team stratigies were built around Sachin only. Oppostion used to concentrate 99% only on getting Sachin out. Thats what called psychological blow. Sehwag will never reach that stage. Your fact that Sehwag will explode no matter what the situation proves that Sehwag is a very very selfish player who doesnt care one iota for the team's fortune and will play his game no matter what. All the test GREATS, including Bradman himself had multiple gears and played according to situations. Slowing down when the situation demand is not a sign of weakness, instead it is a sign of the player's adaptibality to different situations for the team cause and not personal glory!
graphic23 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Super analysis. :two_thumbs_up: You are right in everything you say about Sachin and those innings. I don't agree with you about Sehwag being selfish. I like to think of it as skill, perhaps kind of like Gilchrist, where he usually wants to score at more than a run a ball irrelevant of the situation. Coming back to topic, neither of them are good. Hyderabad :D

Hyderabad :D I know, just trying to use the same logic he was. But you will agree that a player who can play only in one mode is limited, aka Afridi.
