Did he tell your friend n Co tht they were rubbish? If no, then maybe he was only pretending to be rude so they leave themselves (w/o being told that they were rubbish ). If tht was the case, it was a good thing?;) Link to comment

I think he was in a way challenging them to bowl better at him, give it their all. Also to make them tough, such tht they're not affected by rudeness of opposition players Link to comment

Scarves Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sehwag takes it because he is a born match winner' date=' Sanga averages a bit more and Sehwag scores runs about 60% faster, both of them not so good outside the SC - so it is Sehwag. Dravid is one of the few cricketers who average more away than at home, and Sanga, inspite of playing mostly in an era without very formidable bowlers, and mostly at home and against weaker teams, definitely ranks below Dravid. Sanga also averages in the low 30s or mid 30s in four major nations, that is a distinct weakness.[/quote'] Sangakkara averages 60+ against Australia and mid 30's against a team like South Africa is a pretty decent average. What good is having a better strike rate when you get out cheaply. Sangakkara is a top tier batsman and I don't get why Indians don't give him enough respect and this includes Indians that I know and yet everyone else gives him credit. The guy is a class act, a class player and to score a ton in Australia in a 4th innings chase and a ton in England and South Africa in the 3rd innings shows a lot of skill. I loved watching Sehwag bat but there is no way you can say that he is better than Sangakkara. Just because you score runs at home shouldn't put down your achievements otherwise so many players wouldn't be said to be as good as they are. I think if you can score away then that should boost you but if you score at home that shouldn't be used against you. I would put Dravid ahead because what Dravid has done for several years is just amazing but it isn't as fair as people think. Link to comment

I would put Dravid ahead because what Dravid has done for several years is just amazing but it isn't as fair as people think. A batsman who gets out cheaply does not average 50 in test cricket. Sehwag is a test opener, I don't think many think about this when they evaluate him as a player. An opener averaging 50 at a S/R of 83 is a dream come true for any team, and Sehwag did this over nearly 100 tests. Bowling team would be utterly demoralized when Sehwag is at his best. Compare him with other openers for the past 30 years. Barring the very few, most openers average in the low 40s or less than 40, because they are facing fresh bowlers and the new ball every time they go out to bat. Link to comment
Ram Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sangakkkara is not even the best player of all time from Sri Lanka, let alone the subcontinent. Link to comment
CricketCrowd Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The question of why Sangakkara ordered the no ball to prevent Sehwag raising his century has never been answered? nor why he had to lie at the press conference - before the stump mic evidence came out and caught him out. make up your own mind as to what he was upto. http://cricketcrowd.com/displayvideo.html?ccvideo=5572&ccdesc=Spot%20fixing%20concern:%20Why%20did%20Sanga%20order%20no%20ball?

thongale Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Tendulkar' date=' Dravid, Gavaskar, [b']Sehwag - these four are distinctly ahead of Sanga as batsmen.:finger: Link to comment
thongale Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 right. He made debut 13.5 yrs back and has 24k+ runs. Can he break sachins record of total runs, test cricket runs etc?Simply no. He will last four more seasons at best, and being a smart guy would retire once he feels his form is deserting him. Link to comment
Marut Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 :finger: Why? The maker of two triple centuries against world class teams at run a ball is not to be toyed with. Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Not the best but somewhere up there. But he is one of my favorite player though. Unlike their current captain, a total dumb a $ $.... Link to comment
randomGuy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Simply no. He will last four more seasons at best, and being a smart guy would retire once he feels his form is deserting him. at this rate, he will end with 30k runs in 17 years. If he plays 2 more yrs, he can break sachin record of 34 k runs. But yeah, he will retire before tht Link to comment
