he isnt a mindless slogger though, he certainly has a decent technique and is capable of batting at 3 in the sub continent.Nnanden said:

Saurav Ganguly,The Indian Skipper.If it would be his day,he is a great timer of the ball.Some were not satisfied with the comment, but I always place his over Sehwaag and Sachin. 
Your post seems nothing but personalnookie_lk said:
It was the journalist who interpereted in such a way that everyone thought it was going to be against UAE
You seem to a fan of his, thus the knowledge of his life
Swollen headed--->I would say cool headed the way he took those Lankan wickets in the end
This is what Sehwag actually said:marc71178 said:
"If I stay at the crease for 50 overs, I can score a double-century.In fact, a lot of batsmen can do it provided they bat full 50 overs."
The 25-year-old did not believe that a weak bowling attack was required to slam the first-ever double-century, saying no opposition could be taken lightly.
"It takes just one ball to dismiss a batsman," Sehwag said ahead of the Asia Cup limited-overs tournament starting in Sri Lanka on Friday.

he was asked about it at the start of Asia cup it included an outing aganistmarc71178 said:
Ban then y dont u say that he intended the 2 games and since he had scored a 300 in his last series he might have said that it was nice score 200
and how in thw world was sehwag sure that india was going to bat first
No. It's not a coincidence. The reporter asked him if he could score a 200 because he had a game coming up against UAE.marc71178 said:
Think about it. Do you think he would have gone to the press meet and said "I'd like to announce that I'm going to score a double hundred against UAE."
Obviously someone's asked him if he was capable of doing it and he's said yes.Also note that he's said that he did not believe that a weak bowling attack was required to slam a double-century and that no opposition could be taken lightly.

Robert Key's highest Test score is higher than the highest of either Mark Butcher, Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Alec Stewart and Graham Thorpe.Nnanden said:
Anyone think he's a better batsman than them? Personally I don't think he even comes close.
The best players don't always get the best scores.
Sometimes a no-more-than good player (eg Malik) can put-in an outstanding performance, and that outstanding performance can reap reward few have come close to.

Seems to me he's speaking in general terms rather than referring to a specific game. Certainly I don't agree with your claim that it's "obvious" which game he's referring to.
The fact that he said it before the UAE game is significant in the sense that it marked the start of India's 2004/2005 season -- players do tend to set goals at the start of a new season.

In that case it also applies that the best players don't even get the best averages!
Though I do think Stephen Waugh's skills were sometimes rather shockingly underrated.
You don't average 50 in Test-cricket against the bowlers he faced without being extremely talented.
But I've always been convinced that Mark Waugh massively underachieved in the Test-match game, from his 2nd match onwards.

IMO i think sehwag was talking about the UAE game, even if he didnt actually speak the words "it think i can get 200 against UAE".
wow... i learnt nothing new there. talk about stating the obvious. who has the fastest ODI hundred? afridi. i was merely commenting on the fact that you stated you werent at all suprised that malik had got a whopping score, even when he was batting at three, and the fact that he hasnt done a huge amount batting for Pakistan. whats your next prediction oh master...
I assure everyone that it is going to be Mr. Ganguly who is going to acheive this magnificent feat & it is going to be in the next one year.
Now dont me call me an astrologer when he gets one.
Real Pakistani do you think that such a feat can be achieved ever by any pakistani.
