luck is luck! different types of luck, Sehwag putting it in the hands of the gods on his own accord, but luck none the less!

Personally I don't see Sehwag as a lucky batsman, say like Yusuf Pathan. He gives the opposition a chance by being aggressive, but he doesn't just whack the ball into the air and reply on drop catches to make his runs.

Yes Sehwag is aggressive, but he never gets dropped 5-6 times on route to a ton.

Obviously sometimes you get dropped and you make the opposition pay.

You do not get a test record like Sehwag by just being lucky..

He is a quality modern test opener if it there he just belts it he is a fans (not just Indian one) dream to watch he is quite simply exhilarating there has not been many like him maybe Hayden but then he can not do what Sehwag can

A top class player

Sehwag has an infinitely better eye for the ball, and quicker hands, than Yusuf. Also a far classier batsman. Has more than his fair share of luck, but as you say gotta play the game to win it.

when you play so aggressively against a moving ball it must require a lot of skill but surely a slice of luck aswell, anyway, we could argue that theyre all lucky, to have the opportunity to play test match cricket while we dwell on the forum!

Was going to say the same thing. Do MRF make bats or are they just a sponsor/label provider like Hero Honda?

what an incredible all round cricketer ab de villiers is, the presence of mind and natural ability he has is absolutely unrivalled the world over. the run out of dravid off the dropped catch was awesome, hes so valuable to his side and would be in any world xi that i was asked to select

[iand123]

Pretty lazy running from dravid though, doesnt take away from the skill from De Villiers. Makes you wonder which wicket they would have preferred, Dravid or Gaumbir?

Both are walking wickets, so SA won't be fussed that they got the creaking Wall

Gambhir has a habit of looking awful and yet still making runs

I think Gambhir owes AB a beer after the clanger AB dropped

he had signed it ages ago but was just running out his reebok contract which ended in 2010.

zaheer to get a couple of wickets I  feel in the last session of the day !

it is turning into a cracking game - Kallis is out for the rest of the game too so SA are 0-1 before they start and that one scored 160 odd in the first knock...
