Sehwag and Gayle along with Bradman and Lara.. seththu poana pitch layum niraya life moolamaa adikiravangala yaen legends like Bradman and Lara voada saerkanum :xQuote:

That innings was already interrupted by rain many times. In fact, almost a day has been lost if you calculate the no. of overs were bowled. WI had no firepower in their bowling. Because of the tiredness, England might have got all out in their first innings. But in the second innings I think WI bowlers toiled for more than 130 overs and still got only five wickets. Had Lara declared the innings earlier the match, I am sure that the match would have been ended in a draw.Quote:

Roy Fredericks, Greenidge(RH), Lloyd all played similar to Gayle but they played shots neatly because of their footwork. Further, they were good drivers of the ball. I accept that Gayle is not a good driver of the ball. In fact, he is bludgeoning the ball. But his cut, pull, one legged pull and hook shots has carribean stamp. :)Quote:

Tendulkar, Lara, Richards(Both Viv and Barry), Gower and Botham always in different League.

shewag is arrogant than Gayle in his battng...I am reminded of a match where he hit a slapping four at the end of the day and started walking off, removing his gloves, even before the umpire signalled stumps...or is it even before the ball reached the boundary :) ..andha attitude..
