Somebody tell me - Is Sehwag a bowler or not? When he cannot bat they tell that he is in the team as a bowler..but when conditions require..he is not bowling and sachin and saurav bowl..wassup?

Dear Pawan,
I am no fan of Sehwag's stubborn ways. But, check out Sehwag's bowling record in the last tour to Windies.
Also, agreed that Saurav batted well but it does not mean we call his bowling also as "heroic". 14 runs of 2 overs? You think that's good?
You are right in saying Sehwag should have bowled. But we don't know why he did not bowl today. It's possible Dravid did not want to bowl him today for good reason. It's possible that Sehwag is certain to go to WC and they are trying to decide whether to take Kumble or not. That's why Kumble played and bowled 10 overs instead of Sehwag. And thank goodness Kumble failed badly today - he doesn't have much to offer for the WC.
