Sehwag retires

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
Pity if true

That ball he bowled n Sydney that landed behind him has to be the highlight of his career. His batting wasn't half bad either.

Rare gold quote from Twitter:

Media should not be surprised at the confusion on Sehwag's retirement. He is known for making life difficult for spinners. #ThankYouSehwag

People calling him an ftb really need to get some perspective. Even if by some twisted BS definition of yours he only scores on roads, no one else in history has taken 200+ runs in a couple of sessions off attacks consisting of bowlers like Steyn, morkel, murali, Akhtar, Saqlain, etc. with such regularity. Just no one else even remotely like him.

Yup. Tonned up in his first Test on a pretty sporty track against the Saffers too.

Remember him yawning once while batting. Truly a legend. We haven't had any other aggressive openers in Indian cricket history.

Very good player, devastating in Asia and wonderful player of spin. Not an all time great for me, but very close.

In an effort to stay with in the confinements of forum rules and atmosphere - just want to clarify if its a CW rule that one can't say certain things in a players retirement thread?

No. But it is a retirement thread. It's not nice.

Regardless of what thread it is in, trolling is against the forum rules...

"Don't be a dick in retirement threads" is an unwritten rule. You might have known that if you hadn't spent large period of the last 5 years banned from this forum for being a dick.

Agreed. It does beg the question why you're still allowed to post here though :ph34r:

Anyways, saying something negative about a player in his retirement thread isn't being dickish unless it's looking for an argument imo (see Haddin's thread), it's just the fact that aussie was plain wrong which made it a **** post.

In my humble opinion.

"I also want to thank everyone for all the cricketing advice given to me over the years and apologise for not accepting most of it! I had a reason for not following it: I did it my way!" - Sehwag LOL

Wish he got one final chance to play a test innings, ah well gone from IPL too eh. Probably my most fav cricketer after Tendulkar, certainly the most entertaining. Can't believe he had a record of what was it something like 10 consecutive 150+ scores? You just knew if Sehwag got a ton it was gonna be a big one, it was ridiculous.

Far more cultured response thanks. Because I know in CW history retirement threads have had such arguments and as you said yourself, I made it clear in the post I made whether people agree with my view on Sehwag or that I wasn't looking for an argument.

I have done the Sehwag debates to the death on CW won the arguments, his career ending failures backed up my view so i generally avoid it here - there are many of people in my lifetime where I have had the Sehwag debate with and its far more civil.
