Whatever it takes!!!
I think Migara meant he would have been successful in SC as an England player?

In SC conditions, I would pick Sehwag ahead of Sanga.

Sanga and it's not close.

But till 2010, people were picking Sehwag. Tells you all you need to know about the overrating of Sanga post retirement.

Sehwag tailed off badly the last three years where Sanga just got better in that time.

He made a couple of posts defending Sanga too.

Wouldn't call it overrating but it does tell us two things.
Sanga took his game to new heights in the last five years of his career.
But the fact that Sehwag has more votes than him shows that sanga was easily a tier (and maybe two) below the best batsmen at that time.
Based on one of the criteria that we judge players by i.e. spread of their performance across career he is right down in the list.

More like he took his game to new heights over the last 10 years of his 15 year career. It was fair not to rate him over Sehwag when he’d only be performing at the top level for 5-6 years.

Fair enough.
5-6 years into their careers the likes of Sachin, Lara, Kallis, Dravid were all rated highly. And they pretty much maintained their standards throughout their careers.
When it comes to this thread I agree Sanga > Sehwag... but overall I feel Sanga gets a bit overrated based on the other thread where some posters have rated him much better than Kallis and Dravid.

Sorry, Himann has asked me to keep quiet for the moment, he's at a key stage in the court case and he doesn't want to jeopardize his chances.

He really took his game to the next level by smashing 5 tons in 7 innings against Bangers including a triple ton. And kept playing his favourite opponent Pakistan... Not surprised at all what he did in the last 5 years. Truly overrated!

He played Ajmal and generally very good back up spinners in UAE a lot. The same lot that wrecked England and Australia. Sanga against Ajmal is the most dominant any batsman has been against any bowler in history.
