hi friends. [b]just a small flash back.about 2 to 3 years ago,sehwag was thrown out of the team because of his very bad form during that season and then he made the comeback during the T20 world cup. someone from those news channel asked sunny gavaskar about sehwag and he said "sehwag is an impact player.there is only 2 sehwags.one is carefree while the other is careless.there is only a slight difference between them.the carefree sehwag hits triple century while the careless sehwag gets out playing outrageous shots and thats what made the selectors remove him from the squad a few years ago." he was good in ODI and test but so far in this IPL,only one good innings from a guy and yesterday's dismissal was outrageous to say the least. first ball steps out boundary.second ball steps out boundary.why he even stepped out when he pretty much gave the idea to the bowler that he is going to step out for the next ball too which enables the bowlers to either york him out or bowl wide and get him out. its not his form that worries me because they say FORM IS TEMPORARY BUT CLASS IS PERMANENT.i believe he is a class player but somehow i get the feeling that he is going towards the careless attitude again.hope i am wrong.[/b]

Sunny was right on Sewhag. I have seen Sehwag getting out on too many matches playing silly shots. Sehwag has an excellent class and technique. All he needs to do is fine tune his attitude a bit and he may grow to great heights. Many has already compared him with Sir Vivian Richards and yes, he is that kind of player who can be a threat to any opposition on any given day. A little fine-tuning and Sehwag will be non-stoppable.

Yes friend, what you have said absolutely right. What I feel is Sehwag never changes and he sometimes gets into careless pattern. If fortune favours then that day Sehwag is destructive batsman. I hope if Sehwag plays with more responsiblity then he is more destructive than ever. But I have seen all the big hitting batsmen like Jayasuriya, Gilchrist, Afridi,Sehwag,etc do need some luck initially if not they will get out cheaply..

sehwag is a different player or cool player,he is in well form but unfortunately he made some mistakes,but it's not consider as carelessness,he is powerful hitter of an Indian team,he is just cool person in cricket ,so he play like that,i don't accept the sunny gavaskar comments he always blame other players,so don't worry about sehwag he is classic and massive hitter,may be he have some bad luck but it's not permanent one for him,soon he will in well form this is my view about this discussion and have a nice day my lotter.
