| ![]() On this historical day, we buddies met to talk about Sehwag's innings. All of were in agreement that Sehwag would have scored more (and crossed 300 in a day) but for Dravid 'inability to rotate strike on batting pitch'. |

What a patya wicket - like everyone said - waste of a test match. @diabloo - it's the sub-continent dude - if Sehwag cannot score here , where will he ? ![]() And Dravid again proves his inability to rotate strike. | |

| ![]() Well, Dravid again provided exemplary contest between bat & ball, where the bowlers had him in the dock on a batting pitch ![]() Quote:

| ![]() Virender Sehwag admitted that being dropped from the Test side "motivated" him to concentrate better, enabling him to produce what he termed as his "best innings". Cricinfo - Being dropped motivated me - Sehwag |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I felt sad for that kind of immaturity in thinking. The only reason the crowd did that was because sachin would come in next. I rate Dravid very high & felt really aloof in that crowd. Sachin averages 92 with4 centuries in this ground. VIVA le sehwag. ![]() |

| ![]() Highest in a day is Don is Bradman's 309 runs against England in Leeds in 1930. Sehwag made 257. Maybe if Dravid had rotated the strike, an Indian would have had the record from the Australian. Quote:

Infractions: 0/1 (10) | ![]() Or look at it in a positive way. Dravid occupying the crease and playing like a tortoise gave Sehwag enough time to relax at the other end. Had Dravid gone on rotating the strike Sehwag might have gotten tired sooner and lost concentration which could have led to throwing his wicket away. In a way I think Dravid's game did help Veeru relax amidst all that besergk batting prowess. But hats off to the Nawab. Also how many times have we noticed in the past that while one bastsmen in going hammer and tongs, he has just managed to run out of partners at the other end. Atleast this way we still have lots of wickets left in hand with the batsmen coming in all capable of strokeplay at a run a ball. |

| ![]() I couldn't catch the match today. Now I got to see the score, oh boy what a mess our experienced lot have gotten into !! ![]() This line in Cricinfo tells the tale of this test: "Take away Sehwag's special innings and India have been outmatched as a team against South Africa." ![]() |

![]() Dravid has scored 10000+ runs in both the forms of cricket and deserves to be appereciated. How many of these so called juniors will do this feat let us wait and see. And do remember, Sehwag is also a senior player. ![]() | |
