Please don't flame me for saying this. I am no taking anything away from Sehwag. Any score in excess of 200/300 is a tribute to batsman's temperament. But Sehwag himself would value few other knocks of his, more than the current one. Btw, Jaffer must be kicking himself on missing on a big one! For me this is test cricket at its boring best! | |

| ![]() I wonder why don't you like some bloke's 40 odd runs in some year 192x. Each man his own. Dravid is at the crease - see his capability to score runs ![]() |

| ![]() "Another world record, this one relating to partnerships. Jaffer and Sehwag put on 213 runs for the first wicket and Sehwag and Dravid crossed 200 for the second wicket. This is the first time in Test cricket there's been partnerships of 200-plus runs for the first two wickets" ![]() Way to Sehwag ! Show who is the BEST!! ![]() Last edited by diabloo : 28th March 2008 at 16:40. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ok no replies!!! Dravid has completed his fifty. Now would be fun to see whether sehwag wil try to hit a six to get his 300 |

The magic of seeing a batsman struggle to score every run would be completely lost upon you! As you say, to each his own. Last edited by CaAT : 28th March 2008 at 16:47. | |

| ![]() Thats one aspect of batting. Other aspect is to score easily when situation requires. Dravid has miserably failed here. But Sehwag was proved he is the man for both aspects of batting. |

| ![]() I was not debating on who amongst Dravid and Sehwag is a better bat. I was just talking about having a even contest between bat and ball, which isn't the case in this test. I would much rather prefer to watch a Twenty20 tie over such mundane test. Congrats Sehwag on reaching the 300 figure mark! Last edited by CaAT : 28th March 2008 at 16:57. |

| ![]() Bang on. The pitch curator could have done better. If you look at this match as a neutral, it will be a case of both teams going through the motions. |

The question is, would the pitch change so drastically on final day to allow that to happen? The indications so far point otherwise. | |
