sehwag going for 200

[Swervy]

Swervy, can you post that article. I don't think he said V/S UAE. He just mentioned a double in one-day

hmm, I read this article LINK and it doesn't mention anywhere that he will try the 200 against UAE.

I think the BBC is trying to show that he wants it against UAE, however I don't think sehwag has or will mention against what team

To me, Jayasuriya is not even half of what he was in his prime. I dont rate him that much nowadays. He has failed to deliver for Sri Lanka time and time again, I just see him resting on his past reputation.

Although he may prove me wrong...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I think Jayasuriya has at least one more big innings left in him.

Some stats:

Last 2 years...

1923 ODI runs @ 35.61
5x100
7x50
6x0

...including a run of 122 v Aus, 106 v Eng, (6 v Aus,) 99 v Eng, 120 v NZ, 55* v Ban

Career...

9288 ODI runs @ 31.59
16x100
55x50
25x0

Last 2 years in Tests...

1289 runs @ 47.74
3x100
7x50
1x0

Career...

5816 runs @ 41.84
12x100
28x50
14x0

Looks good, but then again, he's had Test scores of 145 and 85 v Bangladesh and 157 v Zimbabwe in that time.

Overall I'd tend to agree with you, but you can never write Jayasuriya off.

Amen!!

Thilan samaraweera for me .

 

[Nate]

okay, EVERYTHING in that post was very weird...

 

[Jnr.]

From that list, probably Sehwag and Hayden. Gilchrist probably lost his chance when he got out for 172. Ponting as captain will probably not go berserk early enough to get 200. Flintoff probably bats too low.

That said, I'd hate to see Saeed's 194 beaten by an innings against opposition such as UAE, HK, Kenya, Namibia, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, etc.

 

[maxpower]

shewag can if he gets like few chances along the way...ponting if he comes early in the game...

 

[Adamc]

After all that, Sehwag is runout for ZERO.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

ROFLMAO!!
Sehwag must be wishing he never said anything

 

[Nate]

haha tendulkar pretty much ran him out...

 

[Nate]

GANGULY DROPPED!! Bugger, i feel that will be all the chances the arabs get...

 

[Revelation]

tendulkar gone too.

Eh, eh, eh...
Rather wish he could have made 40 or so, though.
Always irritating when top-class batsmen waste opportunities to cash-in on these excuse-games.

ROFLMAO!!

he has never said that he is going to score 200 in this match this is what he said

"If I stay at the crease for 50 overs, I can score a double-century," said Sehwag
"In fact, a lot of batsmen can do it provided they bat full 50 overs," he added.

So it was just coincidence that he said it before probably the weakest opposition he'll face ever?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

yea sehwag can keep waiting.. since he got run out hahaha.. he just lost his chance against probably the weakest team..

if he bats 50 overs aganist any opp in sub continent he will have the best chance of scoring a 200.if its a week team then may be their feilding standerds might be little less that could be of a help.other wise i dont feel he will have any trouble aganist any bowlers if he bat 50 overs.

the implication was that he thought he could score 200 vs UAE.

of course the real challenge was that he bats for one over let alone 50 overs...

i found it all quite funny
