As he is a notebook player and that's why more than anyone he's the one who can adapt to any format of the game.<br /><br />The perfect examples are Kallis, Dravid, Murali Vijay.<br /><br />Let I give you an example from my college days. Although I was not a good player of cricket. I used to play with my friends. I have found that most of them were not very sound in batting technique, but when it comes to hit a tennis ball to the boundary they managed to send it there. They will hit a few six and fours and then get out. So although they can't play for 50 overs with that zeal, they definitely do so for 8 or 9 balls.<br /><br />What I see is, in T20 too, technically sound players will start to rule.Anil Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730693158313605630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-54099603583200480052010-04-14T19:33:54.983+05:302010-04-14T19:33:54.983+05:30thanks vm...

It is sad but true that some who adapt don't get the credit they deserve as imemyself points out. <br /><br />Sehwag is a different story altogether. Either he isnt taking the T20 too seriously or he's looking for a 250+ strike rate. Going by the second token, look at Uthappa with a 250+ strike rate this IPL. Look at his average and that doesnt look too good. Sehwag needs to make up his mind if he wants to be an impact player (that he's capable of) or a fancy strike rate player. <br /><br />@Namya, liked your comparison to Infosys' q-on-q growth.vmminervahttp://vmminerva.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-13190658779406539752010-04-14T12:04:17.114+05:302010-04-14T12:04:17.114+05:30exactly hunger is the key word here golandaaz...
...exactly hunger is the key word here golandaaz...<br /><br />i also agree with you that odi cricket seems bit complicated to him and he still has not come terms with the pace he should approach his innings while tests are clear from the very beginning to him on how to approach his innings...<br /><br />but the bottom line is if he does not seem interested (or do not care that much) why waste a place...? why not give it to a player who is hungrier and eager to learn tricks of trade...?straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-89998826343323732162010-04-13T23:39:32.531+05:302010-04-13T23:39:32.531+05:30Viru is a test specialst.

He is totally 'turned on in a test match. he also reads a test match situation better than he reads an ODI / T20 situation.<br /><br />He would like us to believe that his batting is about see-ball hit ball, but i don't buy that. He seems a brilliant student of the test match format. <br /><br />as someone who enjoys watching him play, i don't care much for his T20 or LOI batting. I think he too doesn't care about it. It just appears that way. The complexities of the LOI game seem to turn him off. the powerplays, the spread out fields seem to be a put off for him.<br /><br />Bottom line, I agree with you SP 100%. Viru for me is the ultimate test match player and i would much rather see a Vijay open for india at the T20 WC. He seems more hungry that ViruGolandaazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285793785015026024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-2555986547525521542010-04-13T10:02:53.032+05:302010-04-13T10:02:53.032+05:30but kanda... all we want is he is answerable to hi...but kanda... all we want is he is answerable to his self, team and the immense potential he has... <br /><br />it's my pleasure to blog-roll you... :)straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-3710554086216569722010-04-12T21:27:43.795+05:302010-04-12T21:27:43.795+05:30The God and The Religion are not answerable to gen...The God and The Religion are not answerable to general public.The deliverance will fall on the mankind only when they see us deserve. ;-)<br /><br />Hey thanks for blogrolling me.<br /><br />kandakandahttp://imemyselftakeonsport.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-12271237332851493722010-04-12T20:24:26.453+05:302010-04-12T20:24:26.453+05:30to add to your comment sb... the sehwag the feared...to add to your comment sb... the sehwag the feared is coz what he does in tests... so when one says he is match winner in reference to LOIs, T20 a lot of that impression is coz of what he has done in tests...<br /><br />i tend to believe when all reasoning with sehwag was over... wright did what he did... out of sheer frustration of a true potential... and if the seasoned player, coach and person like wright can do this to sehwag... one can really sense the acuteness of his frustration seeing him throwing away without caring a damn...straight pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309030423887849171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-69502225725257456522010-04-12T20:08:40.101+05:302010-04-12T20:08:40.101+05:30Viru takes his tests a little more seriously than ...Viru takes his tests a little more seriously than LOIs. But that can never explain his better performances in tests where you can have slips, different bowling lines and angles and field placings in the outfield. I will never understand how he contrives to fail (relatively only) in LOIs.<br /><br />But the nett effect of all this is that his success in tests shines brighter.<br /><br />I don't know...only he can tell how it works with him. is it all in his mind...does he think at A pace in tests and at B pace in LOIs? maybe B pace of thinking clutters his mind which helikes to keep clear from ball to ball.<br /><br />But only he can tell, we are just guessing.<br /><br />We must read the concerned passage in John Wright's book, and what led him to grab Sehwag's collar to understand a little more about this Sehwagian phenomenon.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-46073154237554722482010-04-12T16:04:19.634+05:302010-04-12T16:04:19.634+05:30but i questioned him imemyself... :)

Even after silencing the most with good T20 knocks, Dravid still needs to make a point in every match. <br /><br />Sehwag is a very differect case. He was never great at ODI or T20s. He hits 1 match and goes silent for few matches. He always lacked consistency. But no one will question his credentials in T20s thats for sure.<br /><br />Many so called test match specialists proved their worth in T20s but im very much disappointed with VVS. He has all the attributes to score 30s or 40s at a decent rate of 130s. But he tries too much and ends up in wrong side. Hope he plays atleast one good knock in his last IPL this year.imemyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045649184133827799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-86029142128156069482010-04-12T15:09:52.689+05:302010-04-12T15:09:52.689+05:30beg your pardon for the grammatical errors in the ...beg your pardon for the grammatical errors in the previous comment.namyahttp://community.dreamcricket.com/community/blogs/not_cricket/default.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-29327374810936266042010-04-12T15:07:27.187+05:302010-04-12T15:07:27.187+05:30Think what Viru does is that he tries to up his st...Think what Viru does is that he tries to up his strike rate from tests to odis to t20s.. now when you starts with a base rate of 120 in tests, 200+ strike rate is going to ensure much more risks being taken..
