Who else can reverse sweep Murali when on 199*?

Only Sehwag.

Well done to Sehwag - 200 up.

I calculate that he'll have to add another 70 without Ishant getting any to break Bannerman's record.

what A performance

Don't think test cricket's oldest record would be broken today.
Seaweed is gonna have to go nuts to break that record. Bannermans record is 165 out of 245 = 67.35%. Viru currently sits just above 60%.

Agreed.

Thats next to impossible.

This is the fourth time that he has scored 200 plus runs and this SEEMS to be his best innings ever.

by skully Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:47

He's a special talent.

Correction: 5th time.

well done to sehwag

by SG Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:48

Ishant has asked for review.

by PlanetPakistan Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:49

yeah you are right

319
309
254
201
and now this

by SG Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:50

So Sehwag carries his bat for the first time ever in tests?

by SG Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:50

Only second Indian opener after Sunny to carry his bat in tests. Shows how rare is this feat for Indian openers.

by PlanetPakistan Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:51

Lets not forget about the MIDDLE FINGER magician!

by SG Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:53

Thats lunch.

If only our bowlers bowl their hearts out atleast once this could shape into a very exciting test match.

by skully Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:54

Genius innings by Sehwag (I would've given him long odds to ever carry his bat for India) and brilliant bowling by Mendis. He is a massive find for Sri Lanka.

by PlanetPakistan Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:56

How is the pitch behaving?

by JGK Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:58

This is either one of the great innings of all time or some seriously lame batting by the rest of the Indians.

by SG Fri 01 Aug 2008, 07:59

Pitch is affording turn but slow turn.

Bit of both I guess.

Had even 1 of Tendulkar, Dravid or Ganguly supported Sehwag, India may well have outbatted SL in this test by now.

great effort from mendis - at last Sri Lanka after all these years have found a great spin bowler
