Drawing similarities between Watson and Sehwag

What you have said is Ok but tell me how Sachin is able to grab his position in India team. He is one such player in India who has become bigger than cricket. You will agree that he should be axed based on performance, but his colossal stature saved him. Dhoni too survived an axe but Dhoni had survived the axe because there was no body to replace him currently. That I can understand but how Sachin is able to retain his position is beyond my knowledge.

With every passing day my belief of bias towards Dhoni by BCCI is growing. If they dropped the senior players citing poor performance and giving chances to youngsters, why was Dhoni not stripped of captaincy? Virat has given us enough indicators to believe that he is captaincy material. He may fail I agree but that's the risk every selection body takes when it includes youngsters in the team.

I think Sehwag is a good attacking batsman and should play in the team. Shane Watson is a good alrounder and has the ability to get runs and pick wickets. I think most probably both of them should be in the team.

Whatever may be the format, it is the performance that matters all. It's a team game and if one cannot perform well there is no point of keeping him in the team hoping that he will perform on some day. The only thing that can be done is pick him out from the team and give him time to realize where his fault is and let him try to improve in that field. After some time,I am sure if he had done the homeworks well he will be in the team again.

Sehwag is a flat track bully and has always struggled on pitches which has something in it for bowlers.Watson being an all-rounder is a utility player.On;y similarity between Sehwag and Watson is that they both are naturally agressive,however both of them are still far behind from some great players with attacking approach like Hayden ,Gilchirst ,Pieterson and Viv Richards who made the mess of bowlers in all conditions.

In case of Sehwag, I do not think Dhoni had any role.And it was wrong to potray by media about this and i agree you on this.Sehwag has been terrible for last 2 years.He scored 2 centuries and few fifties.But then his string of low scores have not helped him either.He has not been confidently middlying the ball.And has not tried to improve.Not sure, if he took his place in team for granted.I guess the only person to blame for his ouster, is he himself.He should have scored atleast a fifty against this weak aussie team in India.He did not apply himself but then he was unlucky in first test.I hope he can improve things and be back in team. Sehwag can be grat to have especially in the next world cup.But for that he needs to improve.He may want some tips of comeback from Yuvaraj and look into things.In case of Shane Watson, i guess it could have been attitude, though we do not have complete information.So performance and attitude on and off field does matter.The best example is shoaib akhtar and shoiab malik.Both attitude and performance are needed to perform at the highest level of cricket.Else,any star player would be shown the doors.Perhaps in any country.Thanks!

Well Sehwag was given enough chances. Still, if he was not making runs at the required rate, or in required quantity, it was better to give a chance to other players. One cannot afford to give players so many chances when one has so many competitors. Sehwag can regain his lost touch probably sooner rather than later and be in the thick of runs, enough for his coming back into the Indian team.
