Sehwag go for a 400. What an innings by him. Totally ruthless. Champ.

Barry Richards still kicks his ass with a score of 300+ in a single day + a century before luch 16 times in his career in an erra where bowling was not restricted and bats were very much smaller. :P

 

[Sir Alex]

Tendulkar isn't getting many chances to bat and I think he would be desperate to make runs here. Would be a very determined Tendulkar and I would not change his order at all.

I would place team's chance of getting to a 350 run lead quickly over another 100 for Tendulkar.

Yeah, thats a valid comparison because Sehwag has batted for an entire day today, and against an FC attack.

What's the need to hurry. We have a lead of 50 already. There is a lot of time left in this test match.

Haha do you know the story even? He took Lilee + his Aussie partner and a spinner called Lock apart.

I don't like to subscribe to that because the wicket might stay placid for the next two days as well which would give Sri Lanka good chance to claw back into the game. Giving them 2 full days to bat out with a 350 run deficit would be perfect because it is tantalisingly neither here nor there. And I think it is time as a No.1 team India played some aggressive cricket rather than playing safe. However all this could up in a puff of dust should India collapse once Sehwag gets dismissed.

 

[Dissector]

Sehwag has five of the 10 fastest test double-hundreds by balls including no. 2,3 and 4.

He also has the fastest triple hundred by an enormous margin though he has a good chance of breaking that tomorrow. Hayden comes next far behind (against a minnow of course) and then Sehwag is at no.3 again just two balls behind.

When it comes to fast, massive test innings Sehwag is in a league of his own.

Good for him. So what were the other 15 occasions when he scored those quick centuries on the Test scene?

Ni I was just implying that Richards still remains the only person to take a test match quality attack for 300 in a day. I was actually hoping for Shewag to do it today.

He would have if he got 5-8 overs more which he would have had sri lanka did not bat for 30+ minutes in the morning.

But thing is, Sehwag didn't bat for an entire day. SL used up the first 5.4 overs, plus the changeover. Chances are he'd have got those 16 extra runs if this were day 1 of the test.

 

[Dissector]

Incidentally Barry Richards never faced Lillee in a test match. Are we talking about WSC or some first class game? Richards' fastest test hundred was this knock where he scored 140 off 164 balls. Excellent especially for those days but quite far behind what Sehwag has achieved in his most destructive test knocks.

If he gets them in the first 7.4 overs tomorrow then we can tick something else off the list.

Yea amazing Test record he has there.

Mwhahahaha, you'll never catch me.

Yes, but everyone knows Lillee only took wickets on greentops /canofworms.jpeg

Have only just woken up, what's Virender done? Guessing a massive, fast score. Still waking up really but I can't think of another bloke who's scored so big so fast at test level, certainly not in the time I've been watching.

284*(239)

 

[Manee]

Just watched the highlights - was insane, genuinely insane. Sehwag is such a monster!

Haha. Madness. What's his FC average though?
