Re: Virender Sehwag is the best opening batsman of all time

I think he meant VVS.

by buckSH Mon 07 Dec 2009, 05:19

I meant Virender Sehwag

by SG Mon 07 Dec 2009, 05:21

Then definitely Sehwag has never batted against Fanie De Villiers

Sehwag first played SA in 2001 under Ganguly, when Villiers had already retired from tests I think. The series marred by the famous match referee 'Dennis the menace' episode that resulted in an unofficial third test...

then it must be Ganguly and Tendulkar who used lighter bats.

IIRC even Ganguly used lighter bats in the Aus (Waugh farewell) series.

I think Trevor Mudge went overboard here.

Sehwag was a good flat track batsman, and that is not meant in a bad way.

But to compare him to Viv and Lara....

Mondo FTB. Mucho. Indubitably. Inexorably so. Lovely to watch though. The man was crazy.

Only on the tv screen though. I once saw him at a airport transit stop up close. The guy is even fatter than he looks on tv. I mean real fat.

Aren't we all.

Crazy, that is. Not lovely to watch.

I could quote you a few cases where girth is not an issue.

by PeterCS Tue 14 Jan 2014, 21:10

Kallis
Cowdrey
Milburn
Sales
Grace (WG)

a.m.o. ...

It's not about the heft, it's about the performance.

Oh, don't worry. I only like my cricketers to play cricket. Hot oiled up manlove is on the internet. And the Turkish baths. And the park gloryhole.

Sehwag - I kid you not - could easily pass for a 4-5 month pregnant woman.

When I saw Sehwag he was in full clown makeup

by Brass Monkey Tue 14 Jan 2014, 21:20

Did he have a sausage for a nose?

by PeterCS Tue 14 Jan 2014, 21:21

Did he stalk the streets of Northampton?

What else would he have?

by Brass Monkey Tue 14 Jan 2014, 21:26

Did he pay all his taxes?

Are his kids ok?

Does he like cauliflower cheese?

When was the last time he went crab fishing?

Does he like the Doobie Brothers?

What's his favourite Trivial Pursuit topic?

How many times does he wee between breakfast and lunch?

Does he believe in pixies?

Does he believe in pixels?

Does his balls hang low? Does he swing to and fro? Can he tie them in a knot? Can he tie them in a bow? Can he throw them over his shoulder like a Continental soldier? Can he do the double shuffle when his balls hang low?
