Sehwag greatest ever in sub continent?
Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo
Average of 60 with a SR of 85, there might be a few who may average a touch higher but as an avg/SR combination don't think there can be many better. |

He is a flat track bully, but he's still an amazing player.
In fact flat track bully isn't the right description. Flat track serial killer?

Tim Bresnan averages 91 in subcontinental conditions and has won every test he's played there.
QED.

The most interesting thing I've noticed from those stats is that Sehwag averages a solid twenty runs more when India lose the toss in the sub-continent as compared to when they win it. This occurred over a rather massive sample size of 60 tests.
I call black magic.

I think its interesting if you break it up further.
Sehwag in the subcontinent batting in the 1st and 2nd innings: Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo Sehwag in the subcontinent in the 3rd and 4th innings: Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo I'd only really be afraid of Sehwag when the pitch is hard and true, even in the subcontinent. That being said, he is a monster in those conditions
