maybe vaguely
It's definitely relevant to what sunilz (predictably) perceived the post as, ie "someone is comparing Australian player to Indian player and saying they are as good or better, must argue against"
such a stupid thing to argue about too. Who's triple century was in harder conditions? really? why?
If you want to decide which one scored faster just look at their strike-rates ffs, Sehwag's is much better. And Warner has been slower lately.

David Warner averages 24 in IND . Is this relevant data or we should consider his average only at Chennai?

That's even less relevant. Of course Sehwag is going to be better in India/at Chennai than Warner is. It's his home conditions.
When sphynx said "Warner’s would of been a run a ball if it was at Chennai" the point wasn't (or shouldn't have been) to take it literally and transplant Warner into Chennai. He's just trying to say that Warner's 300 was in harder conditions (which I don't actually think is true at all).
Was definitely poorly worded by sphynx but a stupid thing to be arguing about

Whatever it takes!!!
Sehwag's was in response to a mammoth first dig from RSA. So even if all else being equal, he at least had scoreboard pressure on him.

CSA confirms they are in support of 4-Day cricket after an 'unsourced misleading' report in the media stated otherwise #SAvENG -

I doubt they'll oppose it, they were the ones who got it rolling with that 4 day test against Zimbabwe
Edit: lol yep thought so.

Kohli asking some good questions and vehemently opposing this move. It will not take long for them to make it 3 in near future and then probably even to 2 days after several years, thus destroying this beautiful game.

CSA have basically said that SA aren't playing boxing day tests in Australia any more.

Yeah total bunch of ****s. Fancy wanting to play a marque fixture like a boxing day test at home if its during your season.
Here's an idea......you ****ing go there if you want a boxing day test against SA.

It's the sort of situation where SA are probably in the right, yet it's still a little disappointing they're doing it for 4 Day Tests and ODI's.

eh, this is a bit overboard. It's still 2 innings over 4 days. It will still be the 'longer' format. Heck, it will still be the longest format of professional cricket played.
I don't think it will lose fans, the same way I don't think it will gain new ones. It's just going to be the same people watching it, except now they'll be grumpier because money was prioritized over cricket. Every 4-day draw will now be met by hundreds of people making the same old 'only if they kept it 5 days long' comment.
People will adjust and cricket will still be fun. We'll all just a be a little bit more dead inside.

Haha, always liked how there was all the discussion at the time about it being a 4-dayer and the whole thing only lasted 150 overs anyway
Anyway, glad to hear that Ashley Giles has come out in support of 5-day tests, no idea if it will make much difference but nice to have someone in a position of influence actually giving their opinion rather than just carefully toeing the ECB line like (for example) Joe Root always seems to
