Balls are a Bowlers best friends and to see one's best friend being smashed out mersilessly and repeatedly generates some anger and frustration. Maybe thats why bowlers fear and hate bowling to Virender Sehwag. But you cant blame Sehwag for his bad reputation amoungst the bowlers, because there is only one way in which he knows how to play...That Being The 'Hit Hard & Play Fast' Way...And we shouldn't just pity the Lankans, after all its not the first time that Viru has gone on such a rampage, he's gone past the 300 run mark twice allready..309 (Vs. Pakistan) and 319 (Vs. South Africa).....and we hope more big innings come from his bat in the future. On Friday he got out on 293, just 7 short of 300, but his inning has captured the imagination of people from all over (Exept the Lankans). It seemed that India was playing a prolonged one day international Inning. Sehwag had smashed a lot of balls down the ground in the match....but one Muthiah Murlidharan delivery (The 254th of His inning) got the better of him, he was out Caught & Bowled. He was out, but the match had to go on....and so it did. Dhoni managed to complete a selfish yet elegent 100 as India managed 726-9 Dec. The Lankan Batting fumbled (exept Sangakara) Leaving India just 4 Wickets away from Top Rank in Tests with a days play in hand. But I belive that the match's soul had departed after Sehwag's dismissal and the players are just completing the formalities.
Test cricket has nothing to fear if players like Sehwag are there.....
