you owe an explanation sehwag...

shared by straight point on Thursday, November 19, 2009

he was dropped by wicket keeper chasing a wide ball... don't tell me he heard the no ball call that's why he played that daft shot...

then after a while... another catch goes down between slip and keeper for aimlessly prodding at a ball...

another such shot flies past slip for four...

then he wanted to ran himself out by going for a non existent single... he would not have been even in frame had the throw hit the stumps... in fact he gave up hope midway running that single...

ultimately he could not resist the temptation any more and throws his wicket to an ordinary ball...

all this happened when india is trying to save a match...

then he comes on mike after today's play is over and talks about patience...

can someone explain me all this...?

I'm clueless. I have not seen another player whose strength and weakness are same.

He infected Gambhir during lunch; he just got out doing something loopy, too.

indeed it seems so nathan... that was the only false shot he played during his entire innings... he will be cursing himself to let go the opportunity to score double on fifth day of pitch trying to save a test match...

imagine what that would have done to his stock value... not that he dint do a good job but still...

that's where every individual needs to be ruthless... why try something fancy when you are anyway getting runs at fair clip...?

Nathan said...

Yup, there are times to be outrageous, and there are times to play it safe.

This was the latter.

well said nathan...

it was not as if we were trying to set the agenda...
