Cricketics Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Man he was so good. He always remind you of your childhood about that one guy in your area or colony whom everyone would fear bowling to. That time he was in brilliant form and the way he used to treat every other bowler was just fun to watch. Dravid and Sehwag missed out by just few runs only from having the world record p'ship stand.

kubrickian Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Sehwag especially feasted on Pak bowling attack. He averaged 91 in tests against the poyzz. Cricketics, Vilander and putrevus 3 Link to comment
sandeep Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yeah he was Bradman and Viv Richards rolled into one against the green-bros. He was still legendary as an opener against others - not far fetched to call him the best test Opening bat since 2000, maybe even the 90s. Cricketics and velu 2 Link to comment

In subcontinent, overall, I will lean towards Mathew Hayden Edited December 9, 2016 by rkt.india Link to comment
express bowling Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Virender Sehwag is the best test batsman ever while batting in Asia. Although stats do not fully reflect the impact he had while batting....In Asia, he averages 57.4 with a SR of 85...with 18 centuries from only 68 tests. Cricketics and Mosher 2 Link to comment
maniac Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There has never been and never will be another Sehwag....most entertaining batsman of all time Vilander, Cricketics, Laaloo and 5 others 8 Link to comment

You will probably find that others have extremely good records in Asia - Abbas, Chepu, etc. to name a few, especially Che. Link to comment

No one has or had Sehwag's impact as well as SR. His ability to play those really big knocks at a very high SR, was and is something unique and the opposition did not know what hit them. I still don't see the modern day really high SR batters play really big knocks in test matches. Edited December 9, 2016 by express bowling Link to comment

Warner has only one 250+ and 2 other 150+ scores. Sehwag has two 300+ , two more 250+, 2 more 200+ and eight more 150+ scores, albeit in more tests. His ability to play so many of those really big knocks at such high SR in test matches has never ever happened in the professional era in cricket.

I guess I'd interpreted big scored as 100s, and not "daddy" 100s. In that regard, of course, there are very few who have a high % of 150s. And there's only one, as you mentioned, who scored them at a very high SR. One of my fav Sehwag innings > 150 came a relatively "low" SR by his standards - that wonderful knock in Adelaide. sandeep 1 Link to comment
Vilander Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 lol Sehwag was a freak..i did not realize it fully at that time, thought pitches were very flat. express bowling 1 Link to comment
