    Opening the batting and averaging 70 with a strike rate of 108 in Tests is absolutely phenomenal.

    people overrate him all the time:

    This were his figures in 2009, other then 2 innnings he scored on dead pitches against sri lanka, i really dont see why would he be considered leading cricketer of the year

    24 DNB v New Zealand Hamilton 18 Mar 2009 Test # 1915
    34 22 v New Zealand Napier 26 Mar 2009 Test # 1917
    48 12 v New Zealand Wellington 3 Apr 2009 Test # 1918
    16 51 v Sri Lanka Ahmedabad 16 Nov 2009 Test # 1933
    131 - v Sri Lanka Kanpur 24 Nov 2009 Test # 1935

    Yawn. If you're joking, surely you've got better material than that, and if you are being serious, there's no way it's going to contribute constructively to the thread at all. Either way, it's not needed.


    Anywho, SehWAG. Such a gun, can't think of anyone else who would've deserved it more over the last year, and even one or two more beyond that.

    Talking in the context of this year, doing well on flat tracks does not directly translate to doing FA in seaming/turning tracks. Considering a majority of tracks are batting-friendly today, Sehwag is a product of our times.
