Yeah that can't be justified.
Go visit a doctor then.....
You mean Indian cricket's most important captain and a top 20 ODI batsman can't be justifiably placed ahead of Laxman??
Oh bringing ODIs and captaincy, fine.
I have already said that before, it's value as overall cricketer
Again, this is like saying Imran is worse than Dravid in the SC. Or Viv over Marshall in WI, etc. Overrating batting is never a sign of good comprehension.
Sehwag is the greatest ever bat in the SC, given that he was opener and his SR and dominated in SL, Pak and India.
I would place both Sachin and Younis higher tbh. And Jadeja is more valuable.
Jadeja is an AR with an insane record in the SC. Easily better than Sehwag, who wasn't exactly batting in minefields all the time.
There’s no basis for that
?? For Sachin and Younis to be higher than Sehwag in Sub Continent???
Batting in MO is harder than at the top for 90% of the time in Asia so yes there's a good basis for that. Sehwag's record on helpful surfaces, for pacers, in Asia is at least slightly questionable!
Yes what’s the basis
Sehwag averages 31 vs England and 36 vs Australia in India; pretty bad record against some big teams of his time.
And destroyed Pakistan and South Africa who were just as big beasts and Sri Lanka who was pretty damn good
Yes he did exactly that (although a much weaker Pakistan than the one you are remembering and Murali failed hard, but it would be very cherry pickish). But failed against those two at home. Hence he is 3rd Or 4th best in SC for me.
With one moderately good series in SL aside from India? No.
Better than failing repeatedly in SEN, no?? You just said so yourself, repeated failure<never played; like a minute ago.....
