sehwag going for 200

[Eclipse]

Tendulkar could do it, he's a dynamo when it comes to ODI Cricket and Im surprised nobody has mentioned him.

His new style of play has improved his temprement and technique as he has proved he has aggression as well as the technique to make a 200.

His highest score is 186 v New Zealand, im sure if he doesnt get rested for the UAE match, he can make the 200.

His new style has seen him lower his aggresion alot as well.

He's not really a dynamo any more and I would be hugely supprised if he did make 200 at this stage in his carear.

Players do change and personaly I dont think Tendulkar is even capable of hitting out the way he used to. Infact I think he batted out 50 overs against one of the minow sides in the WC and only made 150 odd despite batting against very poor bowlers & on a good flat pitch.

Dont take offense to this thats just the way I see it..

Being an Aussie I will say Ponting or Gilchrist.

Gilly because he scores faster than any other good batsman in the world. And Ponting because he is a quality player who can probably score more runs in the last 10 overs than most other top order players.

However It will proably be somone we dont expect.

 

[Simon]

Hayden for mine, he can bat at a fast rate for 50 overs, against a team that bowls 20 overs of spinners he could do it on his day.....

That is because Sehwag has come in and scores at such a rate and has taken it off SRT's shoulders and it allows him to not score as quick.

Rest assured if you need 83 runs off 60 balls, I would most definatly want him there (SRT).

Back to the question, I back Virender Sehwag. He would either do it v Hong Kong or the UAE.

If he gets set and at rapid rate, it is entertainment for all (maybe not the fielding side).

That, assuming Hong Kong defeats Bangladesh?

....or the UAE

Well so, India vs UAE (and probably Ind vs Ban) is the only match where Sehwag does stand that minute chance of scoring a double. And if India were to bat second, then there goes Sehwag's double century out the window.

So basically, his chances of actually getting that double ton in this series are next to nothing.

You're confusing his test batting with ODI's .He hasnt gotten any slower in ODI's.....Only that he plays less risky shots now , but his SR hasnt dropped a bit in ODI's .

His strike rate remains about 80 - 90 and while he does not score much slower than that he rarely scores a great deal faster. He is not explosive like he used to be and you need that to make 200.

This year at the SCG India were chasing 350+ and he made like 15 off 35 balls or something. The Tendulkar I knew from 4-5 years ago would never have done that.

 

[Richard]

There are so many farcical ODIs coming-up it's not remotely OOTQ for the 200 mark to be reached.
But I really do hope not.
It was bad enough Kirsten scoring 19whatever-it-was* against UAE in 1996.
Anwar's masterclass of 1997 does not deserve to be usurped by something in a game not worthy of ODI status.

I totally agree with you eclipse. Sachin is not what he used to be and I don't think he is capable of what he used to do as second nature, ie, take bowling attacks apart. He rarely even hits sixes anymore and he used to be such a good six hitter at one time. His SR is around 85 now...it used to be around 89 4 yrs ago.

I think either sehwag or ponting will get to 200 first.

IMO Sehwag is incapable of maintaining his temperament for the amount of time required to bat to score 200 runs.

Yes, yes, I know - I'll be argued upon with the fact of his triple century knock he played against Pakistan in Test, but I still won't change my opinion. That was just a one-off miracle

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

If Sehwag bats well enough and the UAE bowls badly enough, he should get it.

What insight!

By Zues some people here are tough markers with SRT's s/r in ODIs.

So what if his s/r has dropped from 89 to 85. It isn't as though it has dropped to 68.

If that isn't quick enough I do not know what is.

When was the last time you saw a big innings from Sachin with a strike rate over 130??

As I said he does not score slowly very often and thats why he maintains a high strike rate.

 

[Dasa]

Perhaps not a strike rate over 130, but still well over 100:
vs New Zealand - TVS Cup - S/R = 112
vs Pakistan - World Cup 03 - S/R = 130
vs Pakistan in Pakistan - 2nd ODI - S/R = 104

 

[Prince EWS]

I really dont know why so many people have gone for Hayden!!

He struggles to score 100 in ODIs, let alone 200. Hes scored only 4 hundreds and 22 fifties in his ODI career, so I doubt he could get 200.

Which wouldn't have happened if the Pakistanis could catch.

 

[dude]

anyone think jayasuriya could do it on home soil? does he not have the secomd highests one day total?

 

[Sehwag309]

Sehwag has said he is going to give it a go going for a double century vs UAE in the up coming Asia Cup.

Do you think he will do it, or do you thinkthat someone else will get to this figure before sehwag, someone like Gilchrist, or Gayle, or Lara, or Gibbs etc

Swervy, can you post that article. I don't think he said V/S UAE. He just mentioned a double in one-day

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Yep. Against India he scored 189 from 161 balls. The rest of the team scored 110 from 145. Arnold got 52 not out. That really shows the 'strength' of the Sri Lankan ODI lineup.

That said, India responded with 54 all out to comfort them. Vaas 5/14 and Murali 3/6.
