well i am very found of cricket and had played alot cricket to be honest i would describe this inning of veeru as one of the best ever by any batsman in such situation when rest of the team players touchs feets of lanken bowler this guy like one man army defended and smashin them to all corners of grounds you might be glad to know veeru made 61 % of the total runs india scored. hates of to this guys temperament and patience he deserve all records and honour...

Nikhil.. you are cool buddy. I like the way you reply buddy. I dont know I cant be precise or concise or crisp or whatever like you. No matter how much I try.. I end up using a lot of rediff allowed characters while typing :-)
Nawab of Najafgarh Virender Sehwag or VEERU as he is fondly known by his Indian team mates is a life long Vegeterian. Yes !! He doesnt eat any Non veg item at all. All he drinks is FRESH MILK daily and eats ek dum mast delicious Vegeterian khaana. But look at the sheer power in his strokes. He dispatches deliveries of any opposition with utter disdain. Sometimes he makes a mockery of even the fastest bowlers of the world and all this without breaking a sweat.
By the way he also has a restaurant chain called SEHWAG FAVOURITES with outlets in New Delhi and Punjab and also to open in other states soon.
"Multan ki Sultan ki Tikdi" is a pure Veg.item priced at Rs.309 a plate (to commemorate the 309 runs which Veeru smashed at Multan in a Test match against Pak).
309 is the highest score by any batsman in an innings in history of Indian Test cricket. Sachin or Dravid or other greats have not even scored a triple hundred despite playing more than 100 Tests each.
Look at the record:
Sir Donald Bradman - 52 Tests (TWO 300s) Virender Sehwag - 59* Tests (TWO 300s) Brian Lara - 131 Tests (TWO 300s)
Also other cricketers have only scored ONE 300 in their life and no Indian has even scored even ONE 300 except Sehwag.
See the power of Vegeterian. I am amazed at this.
By the way I am not Vegeterian. But I eat NonVeg rarely. Ha ha. But I bow to the POWER OF VEGETERIAN ALSO. HATS OFF TO SEHWAG. Veeru..You are India's best in Tests till date I think so.

You have so much hair on your head. I also have lot of hair on my head. So what is the use of that hair ?
But what is the use of hair ? How many people know your name in your street or colony or district also ...Forget INdia and world.
Its not hair that matters... Its the achievements.
HAIR TODAY. GONE TOMORROW :-)
You also will lose hair some day man. So dont worry. People will remember you for the good deeds you do and the achievements and your contributions to your country, house, family etc. They wont remember you for your HAIR. Relax Satish. In just 59 matches Sehwag has scored 2 Triple hundreds. Ok. Lara in his entire 131 Tests has also got only 2 Triple 100s.

Relax Satish. In just 59 Tests Sehwag has scored 2 Triple hundreds. In 131 Tests Lara scored 2 Triple hundreds. So isnt that great achievement. Forget the hair or no hair on the head.
Sehwag is a sportsman. His PLAY MATTERS. He is not a TV or Cine star. So his GAME is GREAT. His physical appearance doesnt matter. Ok.
So please talk sense and try to achieve something on your own before talking about others hair :-)
Well done Bhajji Great solid slap on all anna players. Sasriakal pape...just screw off these anna players. After all u r our Mumbai Indian player....DUNIYA HILA DENGE HUM

Hey ur liking is very baised dude... I agree to this gentleman who has replied to ur message...man....had sehwag been out cheaply like others, do u think this feat by bahjji was possible...mind games bro...ur Mumbai Indian did the trick only when he had resonable total to defend...coutesy.Delhi Daredevil 'Sehwag'.. need to think again about ur comments..
RE:Bhajji
by Gulabjamun Bhujiya on Aug 01, 2008 10:16 PM Permalink
Yaar Rameez...you need to learn some maths also I guess.
Subtract Sehwag's 201 runs from India's total of 329 You get 128 runs.
Bhajji bowled amazing I agree. But he also gave 71 runs in Sri lanka's total of 215.
Without Viru's 201 against magic of Mendis and Murali... our India would have been reduced to school total again and even your Bhajji or Sojji cant do anything. For any bowler to bowl well after his team batted, first his team should have atleast put up a decent score. Thanks to Viru Sehwag we atleat got to 329.
You forgot about Sehwag man... I guess you are more regional than Indian. By the Sehwag is a Delhi Daredevil :-)
Let me remind you its INDIA Vs. SRI LANKA and
Mumbai Vs Srilanka or Delhi Vs Srilanka.
By the way I am neither from Mumbai or Delhi. I am from INDIA :-)
it was amazing batting by sehwag.he must be proud tp play sach a inning. but just thinking what other big player except VVS must be thinking of their batting it does not compliment their stature.its true pitch is bad still if one batsman can make 201 than why not the big three technically sound batsman can play a decent inning even. atleast a double figure is expected. anyway i wish the team best of luck and i am sure they will come triump in the game. just big bro need to apply a bit. al the best indian team
RE:amazing batting display- sehwag

I dont think it quite works that way.
Each of our great batsmen have there own means of tackling bowlers.
Like Dravid likes to play and resolve the mystery of the bowling by standing opposed to each bowl even if doesnt have to score runs. Only after he solves it he then hits it.
Sehwag on the other hand goes at them. Makes the bowler think that they are the one who have to solve him and get him. But there is a down side to it.
Each of the approach has its own fall backs but its backed by the perticular player implementing it and he has the expierence and confidence in the approach as he has been using it time and again and has come up tops at different times.
It is in fact the strength of Indian team to have players of different approach. SOme body will cling along to a certain set of questions while other might not.
And also to answer you about those double-figures-atleast question. Once these guys get into dbl figures they become almost unstoppable. Infact if they dont then I get doubts about them in the test arena. That is why laxman getting out at 39 makes less sense to me then dravid getting out at 2. It means laxman has sorted the bowler out but some how lost concentration or some to fall. And again it is hard to concentrate with a freak bowler like mendis he is almost first of his kind.
So i say each of our batsmen is working on his approach and they should be allowed to as they are all proven. Yes Sehwag is the first one with results so thats g

mr satish. except what u say. but i am talking abt all the 3 innings. when u r the top 3 bat for india than u should impliment more towrds yur batting when u knowing that bowling is tough. not necesary to hav same approch everytime. of selling 1st and than playing, u hav to change the style at times. if sehwag succeding with the approch atleast 1 out of 3 should hav the same approch

Do you look like gopal krishna gokhle or balgangadhar tilak?
Just another 130 runs and Srilanka will equal India's score. Already pitch is beginning to show signs of wear and tear on 2nd day itself. If our ordinary spinner Bhajji can take 4 wickets then imagine what Srilankan magicians Mendis and Murali will do to India's 2nd innings ?
Even if Srilanka become all out for say 330 or 350 and just manager to negate or cancel India's total... again India has to bat well and the so called HYPED 4 batsmen have to deliver for us to atleast score 300 and have some total to try and bowl out Srilanka in 2nd innings again.

Yes he is no ordinary bowler. But does need some motivation and inspiring from time to time I feel. He is a fighter and has to be picked. but some times he needs to be dropped to just keep him inspired. But right now like you he is going guns. After 4 guys scoring centuries come back to fight them out and and sorting them is no mean feat.

Hey they got better spinners and we got better batsmen. How ever u look at it on paper.
Now the difference between our batsmen and their bowlers to their batsmen to our bowlers is not quantifiable on paper through matematics and hence we play the game.
So only the game played on the whole gives which difference is higher and desides who won.
In the first test, obviously, the diference came out poitive 200 some plus an innings towards SL.

Only fighting well! Indeed they are.
Mental bengalis, lafaat lungies and north crooock bhaiyas should be thrown out of indian team. veer marathis should be filled in place of these people. only marathis can save the reputation of india, all others are waste.

Even if I am muslim, I respect all marathi players. They truly dominated all top spots in indian cricket. VIjay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar always being a top cricketers who ruled Indian cricket. So all bongos & lungiwallas just shut up & respect the saffron.
