Get in there Sehwag
This guy is just brilliant in Test matches, simply superb and whenever he goes out you just expect a big score. If he played in this way in the ODI form he would be a great ODI player as well, in Test matches he knows he can leave 4 balls in an over and make his runs off 2 ball but in ODI form he forces himself to make runs off all 6 balls! He has faced 5 more balls than Dravid and has 59 more runs! But you need one guy at the end to keep things tight and one guy to blitz down the other, going all out at both ends is not recomended in situations like this!
In 11 innings against Pakistan Sehwag currently has 1078 runs at a mind boggling average of 107.8. That is an incredible record and the Pakistani players must be getting sick of the sight of the bloke
He has a 50, 100, 200 and 300 against them. I bet he wished he could play Pakistan everyday
He really is India's big game player, he always does rubbish against crap bowlers but stick a class bowling attack infront of him and he transforms himself into a match winning player. His approach to the game is refreshing really, no matter who is bowling if it is there to be smashed he will do it. His mental approach is like Tendulkar's old approach, he is not scared of any bowler. Whether it is McGrath's nagging line and length or Lee/Akhtar 90+mph deliveries he isn't afraid and isn't the type who is more worried about his average than his team. It really is great to see and I only wish he played in the ODI form of the game in a similar way! People say he came into this match with bad form, in the ODI game his form was poor but in Test apart from a worthless series against Zim he hasn't done that bad really.
A great opening stand for India, needed a good reply and so far it has been the perfect reply. A shame a day has been wasted here, looks destined for a draw right now but you never know in test cricket.
