Sitting here thinking, will watch this until Sehwag gets out. Wonder what percent of viewers will switch off at the same time as me. Would be an interesting stat to see.

Yep pretty much just slagging off us the whole time. :(
To be fair on them, what positives are there to say about us, I'm beginning to wonder if we may have to face up to the fact we've reached 'minnow' status these days

Going without sleep for 2.5 days can be dangerous.

Sehwag's strike rate now is over 82.01, which is the highest strike rate among all batsmen with over 3000 runs in Tests....
Is there anyone with more than 2000 who has a higher SR? Only higher SR I can think of is Afridi's, and he has 1716 runs.

There's no reason he can't bat the whole day unless he does something stupid. On this slow dead pitch against arguably the weakest bowling attack in the world, only he can get himself out. Should easily get to 200 (or possibly 250) by the close of play

Sehwag's eyeing a 100 before lunch I think.
Surprised he hasn't done this yet. Will be amazed if he never manages it, surely the best placed to do it in terms of ability and opportunity (opening, in India...).

From cricinfo commentary:

So yet another Sehwag session - 87 off 84 out of India's 127 for 1 in 30 overs. That means the rest scored 40 in 16 overs. That's what Sehwag does. This pitch is not that easy for run scoring. It won't threaten to take you wicket, but it is so slow that playing shots is a struggle.

He got close in 06 against WI.. was on 96 I think. I will be surprised as well. But I don't think he himself cares too much.

Afridi's the only one with a higher strike rate even when you count everyone with just 500 runs.
Yeah, figured as much. Just thought BI must have chosen the 3000 run qualification for a reason so I might have been forgetting someone.
