Reruns of the 2002 Champions Trophy on Star Cricket atm, India v England.

Bloody hell, what a player Sehwag was. Absolute pleasure to have watched that man.

Sehwag is black and white. Nothing grey. Either doesn't trouble the scores or wins the match

oh and speaking of reruns - Saturday there is reruns of Munich 2012 all through the day.

That's harsh. Sure he's become that way now but earlier even if he didn't make a 50 or whatever, he'd give us a flying start with a very quick 30 or 40 odd and lift a lot of the pressure on the middle order. I've been watching India since 95-96 and I never recollect someone pushing Tendulkar out of that opening slot. We were too top heavy before Sehwag arrived on the scene; if Tendulkar left early we'd just collapse in a heap.

Probably agree with ODI's but the decline started long ago. . in tests he allmost never performed in 2nd innings of a test-match. A joy to watch though. Expert at crashing the ball through the offisde
