Im an indian aussie, i saw this live. was a fricking amazing innings. exhilirating, 195 in 230 against a hostile pace attack. Got respect from everyone in crowd
@spookavision wow, lee, 300 wickets at 31, 3rd highest aussie pace wicket taker..how shit.
obviously you didn't watch the series. Same could be said about siddle and hilfenhaus now, but fact is they'be bowled hostile, quick and accurate.
Up until the sydney test, bracken lee and especially wiliams were pretty quick and accurate. But i'm sure if they were so 'shit', you could've made twice what sehwag did..
@rohitrez I was also there, as I've been at every Boxing Day test for 30 years. It was a great innings and Sehwag is an amazing player but that was an ordinary attack.
Bar one season, Lee struggled whenever he didn't have McGrath and Gillespie to set things up for him. The best bowlers average under 30, especially if they're playing with three champions for most of their career.
@rohitrez MacGill and Kapil Dev averaged 29, which last I looked is under 30. Siddle's is 30 and dropping (already better than Lee's), same for Anderson and Morkel. Zaheer and Srinath played most of their cricket on subcontinental roads that are fast bowling graveyards so can be excused. Regardless, Srinath, Morkel and Siddle don't rank with 'the best', Anderson does now but hasn't for most of his career, and Broad can't even see 'the best' from his place.
@spookavision ok so according to your criteria, macgill is 'the best' then, and pretty sure he played this match. Point is that to call Lee, a man who has 310 wickets at 30 'one of the worst' is ridiculous. Sure, he may not be in the Mcgrath echelon, but still a fine Test bowler. Also given Aus record at the MCG, and the fact that the ball does (and did on this occasion) a bit on the first day, was a fantastic achievement.
@rohitrez I said "one of the worst PACE attacks", which rules out MacGill, who took 3 wickets in 15 overs. The pacemen took 4 in 75. Bracken's 1 wicket was Patel and Williams' was Kumble.
Also, "attack" means more than just 1 bowler. Lee was a fine test bowler sometimes, plenty of others he was rubbish. I'm not denigrating what I already agreed was a great innings, merely the attack it was played against.
+the pitch was a road: Australia 558. And it was 195 of 311, not 230. But a great knock.
@spookavision best bowlers average under 30? so what is james anderson, stuart broad, peter siddle, morne morkel, zaheer khan, kapil dev, javagal srinath then? and dont forget macgill, he'd walk onto any other team on earth
Williams was quick but you need more than that at test level. He and Bracken both took a wicket every 16 overs in test cricket. That's woeful. Siddle and Hilfenhaus each have several times as many test wickets as Williams and Bracken combined - because they're much better bowlers.
I didn't use the word 'shit' though. But yeah, I would have made 390. Why only yesterday I made 650 not out against Marshall, Holding, Ambrose and Larwood. (Where's the rolly-eyes thingy?)
The greatness of a great person is he makes even the opposition admire at him.
Sehwag always takes the attack into the enemies camp he is like a one man army.
He makes the opposition players stand up and admire at him for his stroke play, rather internally of course. He has only one thing in his mind dominate and decimate any bowling attack which he succeeds almost always.
I wish I see another batsman like Sehwag before my life is finished but, I doubt that may not happen.
A flat track bully that's what he is, gets 200s in Sri lanka India and and this was a flat MCG track against a Ausi attack without McGrath Warne, Jason Gillespie we saw how good he is in Edgbaston the other day flopped in SA also, the most overrated batsman ever, possibly a good example of the lack of quality in the modern test match game
i think if sehwag had consistancy his avrage wud be well over 60.... at the moment despite always performing poorly in the2nd innings and the lack of consistancy he averages 53.... he for me is the best batsman in test....
krikbestplayer34 you seem retarded just the watch the fucking video stop bringing religion and shit into this all he said was he likes sehwag you would be stupid not to like this innings
I feel that Sehwag is either gay or bisexual. As he is married, he is not gay but may be he is bisexual then.I am a bisexual and I feel like fucking sehwag when I see him smile.
I just thought of sharing this as I find Dhoni, Sachin or Kohli equally talented or more , but I never get this vibe from them. If you see Sehwag in company of his team-mates or even actors, there is this shy quality he exhibits which makes me
The man that he is. This innings will be remembered by cricket fans for his audacious disrespect to the bowling side. I dont think he would have attained this immortality atleast in the minds of the spectators, if he would have got his 200 !!! He is the man
The man that he is. This innings will be remembered by cricket fans for his audacious disrespect to the bowling side. I dont think he would have attained this immortality atleast in the minds of the spectators, if he would have got his 200 !!! He is the man
Tendulkar and Lara are highly strategic batsmen, they can't be compared with Sehwag.
Sehwag doesn't give a shit about the bowler or what is being thrown at him. His style is to obliterate and put the fear into bowlers, he's a captain's dream and if you don't finish him off early, he proves to be a NIGHTMARE maintaining 80-100 strike rate. Any cricket team in the world would DIE to have someone who has Sehwag's mentality and style.
His playstyle can't be comapared with Tendulkar/Lara.
Tendulkar, Lara and Ponting are defensive and attacking batsmen... they work according the situation of the match where as sehwag is a kind of batsmen who just murders the bowlers whether its a tense situation or not... he doesnt like to play defensive and dats y hes most destructive batsman nowadays ....
Here's one example of a really good ball and its 145 K not 150 plus which is what at least 4 international bowlers of today are capable of bowling - Just have to keep it fast , good length , on the stumps and its bye bye little man - Watch Akthar vs Sehwag on youtube
A master on flat lifeless wickets, helped by some bowling offering too much width or over pitched. You put all these conditions together and he is the best at putting them away, but on a half way decent track with even a 25% better bowling display and he's a gonner. Also always testing the fielders by offering at least a few chances in every innnings. The greatest batsman???? LOL! Please get real. The greatest entertainer "Yes" very well might be!
@Allaboutthemojo ...I will take the entertaintment tag you put on sehwag with a century and a half that he scores inalmost every country that he has toured with a 50 avg as an opening batsman facing new ball..yes ur right entertainer he is..and the only one....
@Allaboutthemojo u gotto watch sehwags innings in NZ and SA on bowler friendly wickets.. he is a real match winner in tests. there aint many batsmen in this world wo can score 200 in a day.
This innings taught a huge lesson to the Indians that if u keep defending ball after ball in Australia, you are eventually gona be done in by a beauty...So the Indian batsmen need to play their strokes and they will be successful. Someone like Laxman, Sehwag and even Dravid had a good strike rate post 2003 Indian tour to Australia....In future overseas batsmen need to play their strokes and keep the score board ticking to be successful in Australia.Indian and NZ are successful in Aus..
Thank you to whoever put this one up because one of my biggest regrets as an avid cricket follower is that I (most unfortunately) didn't get to see a single delivery of this magnificent innings.
Wag- is awesum man...credit to sourav for giving him support when he needed it the most....At that time India had everything to play for, every country they toured under sourav needed to be conquered and they played under pressure each time.. Thats why I rate this innings so high as prior to this innings we had poor memories of Australian tour..Souravs captaincy gave confidence to sehwag, yuvraj, irfan, dhoni and the results are showing now....Credit needs to be given where its due
agreed , full credit to ganguly for showing confidence, aakash chopra flopped though in this series, also bhajji's absence was crucial , mind you ponting was in form of his life and made 2 double tons , but still India levelled the series
One of the greatest innings against the mighty Aussies , India lost though , but series were levelled. I consider Sehwag's 90 in second innings in Mohali test and 66 & 92 in Nagpur agst Aussies in 2008 tour as his best 3 innings. India won both the matches & regained Border Gavaskar trophy. Aussies proud was broken to shackles & revenge of 2005 test series loss was taken . He scored when it matters & he will be my hero .
couldnt agree more..and this was against a STRONG aussies team...not like the one we see now..which lost to sa......sehwag will smash hauritz, bollinger etc!
@klause13 Come on, folks. Don't you think comparisons with Lara and Tendulkar are a bit far-fetched? That said, Sehwag is an excellent player and perhaps the best batsman in the game as I type.
@khanooch12 players like sehwag come and go. There is no comparison between sachin and sehwag. Its like saying in a traffic jam both maruti and ferrari crawl at same speed, so maruti is better than ferrari
I'm not sure he would have done as well without the bouncer restrictions. Like Tendulkar, Sehwag has had a few problems with fast bouncers although nothing as bad as losing track of the ball's tragectory and getting out shoulder before wicket.
