How good was Sehwag?

[Burgey]

Top shelf I reckon.

 

[Burgey]

Wow, this blew up.

I don't have a Soundcloud, but all my Desi fam*, if you'd like to acknowledge and support me, head on over to the BOTM thread and when the time comes, vote one Burgey.

*I don't actually know what this means, but I've heard blokes from the SC say it to each other, or something like it. Whatever, just vote.

 

[Burgey]

Be good if a Mod would sticky this please.

 

[Kirkut]

Attacking batsman without being intimidating like Viv Richards or Greenidge. Probably the best player of spin along with Lara.

Downside: Not a good player of short ball even on Asian pitches.

 

[trundler]

What a desperate attempt at pandering. The desi fam remember the "subcontinent so poor lol" jokes. Tsk tsk tsk.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He ain't that bad.

Why would he want to pander? If it's complicated then don't take the pain to explain.

Boy, there’s no foolin’ ol’ Trundler. He gets everything.

Gotta get up early to put one over him. Yessiree

It's never too late to address your shortcomings. There might yet be time, even for you.

Was there for his 195 in the Boxing Day Test. Imperious when he gets going but as a bowler you'd feel like you were always a chance of getting him.

Love the guy.

This was one of the best ODI innings I've seen live, on a difficult pitch, with no other Indian batsman reaching 25: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...dia-6th-odi-india-tour-of-new-zealand-2002-03

I'd chuck 3 blokes at deep third man and just bowl wide. Get him eventually.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but he might have 300 before you do, especially if he had that wonderful, all but incomparable ATG Sachin Tendulkar at the other end

What are your thoughts on the city of Chennai?

 

[Burgey]

Under rated. Gets a bad rap from some on here, but I saw Lisa Wilkinson’s Who Do You Think You Are on SBS the other night, and the Madras Club looks delightful. Have heard the cricket stadium and surrounds are particularly inviting.

I won’t hear a bad word about the place tbh. Can’t wait to visit.
