Some Gandhigiri and 'Brutal' Sehwag

first of all let me try some 'Gandhigiri' here...

thanks to DD who thinks that test matches are of no 'national importance'...so we are privileged to see india playing some timbaktoo in an ODI but...

thanks to my cable tv guy...who just recently showed most explosive and most enthralling ODI series between SA and Bangladesh live on neo...but....

if you are feeling my sentiments (and frustration) than please send them a flower...from my side....they need it...

thanks in advance!!

back to sehwag...

apart from this is fastest triple hundred in test cricket history...

apart from he is only third batter other than sir don bradman and lara to have scored triple century more than once...

apart from the fact that his last 10 centuries are all above 150 (a feat achieved by no one in the history of test cricket)

apart from he has individally scored more than 250 in a day (highest being 273, when denis compton scored 273 in 1954) ...source cricinfo...

the most interesting aspects of sehwag's tripple hundred marathon innings ...to me...was how sehwag scored that crucial single after every big hit or two...

since i was following the match by cricinfo live commentary...there were numerous instances when sehwag scored a boundary or two followed by 'the single' ...

the way he was batting and the mood he was in he could have easily given in to the temptation of going for another...how he controlled that temptation and cooled himself off at non striker's end is something new to me as far as sehwag's approach to this innings goes...

watch out bowlers around world...its not only brutal force you have to cope with...but now you have to also cope with cool and calculated brutal force...he wont give it too easily...

once again congrats sehwag!! congrats india!! and congratulation to all cricket fans across world!!

but don't forget to send a flower...

cheers!!
