Sehwag vs Jadeja

[subshakerz]

Better than failing repeatedly in SEN, no?? You just said so yourself, repeated failure<never played; like a minute ago.....

I am talking about Sehwag as best bat in SC.

 

[subshakerz]

Sehwag averaged 60 plus in SL and 90 plus in Pak all while scoring at nearly 80 SR while opening. Yes easily the best SC bat.

Sehwag himself played only a single series in Pakistan on roads and a bowling well past their primes.

Two series. Prime Shoaib. Yes on roads but so did Tendulkar and Younis.

My main problem is he was pretty bad to mediocre at home vs Australia and England.

He had a good series against the ATG lineup in 2004/5. Better than all his batting colleagues.

Even against England he played some great knocks.

Overall a dud. Atleast Tendulkar higher for me.

Was chatting with a cricket obsessive Pakistani friend of mine who was growing up there in the noughties.

He rates Indian batsmen as Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar in that ranking principally on fear from Pakistani fans.

Not based on Pakistan.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Not based on Pakistan.

Yeah, Sehwag was better in the other two SC countries.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sehwag's biggest issue even in the subcontinent was that he royally sucked in the second innings of games.

Usually didn't matter because he'd smacked a run a ball 200 in the first though.

There was that famous 83 in the 2008 England test.

Kumble
Bumrah
Dhoni

Sehwag
Ganguly
Jadeja
Mankad
Rohit
Chandra
Laxman

[BazBall21]

Sehwag the batsman is slightly better than Jadeja the bowler but the gap isn't big enough when Jadeja is a decent bat

 

[sledger]

I'd rather watch Sehwag.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd rather watch Sehwag.

I'd rather watch Vusi Sibanda but I'm not gonna vote for him.

(I lie, I probably would, but I'd only half mean it)

 

[sayon basak]

I'd rather watch Sehwag.

bowling too?

 

[capt_Luffy]

I'd rather watch Sehwag.

Over THIS!!????

 

[Prince EWS]

bowling too?

Haha I'd legitimately rather watch Sehwag bowl but Jadeja bat tbh.

 

[sledger]

Over THIS!!????

It takes more than a bearded man twirling his wood around to titillate me, I'm afraid.
