Australian press accuses Sehwag of making rift in team

The Australian media accused senior batsman Virender Sehwag of creating a rift in the Indian team, which is reeling under the stress of two embarrassing defeats in the first two cricket Tests for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The Courier Mail reported that India coach Duncan Fletcher is facing the greatest challenge of restoring harmony to a squabbling Indian dressing room and said Sehwag is the man polarising opinions.

"Some team-mates feel he should be captain instead of keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni while his detractors are aghast at the lack of fight he has shown in several innings -- including his meek second-innings surrender in Sydney when he displayed the resilience of a soggy tissue to waft an airy cut to Dave Warner from the eighth ball he faced," the report said.
The daily also reported that India's team harmony is brittle at the best of times because "their dressing room is a unique ensemble of vastly contrasting characters, cultures and cliques".
"There are times when there are more than six different languages - apart from English - spoken in the Indian rooms," the report said.

Former Indian coach Greg Chappell noted during his stint there that young players were scared to express their thoughts and that team meetings were shackled by a hierarchical system.

"Once we were in a team meeting they (junior players) would clam up. I'd go outside with them and say, 'You've got great ideas. Why don't you speak up?' And the youngster would say, 'I can't speak before so-and-so. If I speak before a senior player, they will hold it against me forever'. Some were petrified, flat out refusing to say a word in a meeting before, say, (Sachin) Tendulkar had spoken.

"It was so hierarchical, it made Australian teams look like a commune. I even separated the team meetings into three groups - senior, intermediate and junior - so I could at least hear what the players thought," Chappell wrote in his autobiography Fierce Focus.

India-Australia series the most viewed Down Under

Sydney, Jan 7: The hammering the Indians are getting in Australia notwithstanding, the series is the most watched Down Under, surpassing the popularity of even the Ashes.

The television viewership of the current series has been 30 percent more than for the Ashes last year, when Australia lost to England at home after 24 years.

Host Broadcaster Channel 9 has recorded an average national rating of 1.492 million viewers during the two Tests, while an average of 1.144 million watched England beat their arch-rivals.

Channel 9’s head of sport Steve Crawley feels India have surpassed England to be Australia’s greatest rival.

“India are our gun opponent now. The Ashes may well come back, especially if England hold on to that No.1 ranking, but right now all the evidence shows that India is in front for Australian audiences,” Crawley was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.

“It seems there is plenty of interest in watching guys like Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke, and James Pattinson already has real star quality.”

India and Australia have had close matches in the last decade and the current series has drawn extensive media coverage in both the countries.

Australia captain Michael Clarke had earlier said the rivalry with India was good for the sport.

“It (India-Australia contest) will always be very competitive,” Clarke said.

“Both teams really want to win. I think it is great for the game that we are competitive and we fight hard to win the Test matches, but I can guarantee off the field the relationship is as strong as ever in my time,” he said, attributing the improved relationship to the Indian Premier League.

Why this kohli-veri kohli-veri di??

India's middle-order batsman Virat Kohli was penalized 50 per cent of the match fee for showing his middle finger to the crowd on the 2nd day of the 2nd cricket Test at the SCG right here.


"Mr Kohli, along with the manager of the team, Mr Shivlal Yadav, were summoned by match referee Ranjan Madugalle this morning.The player pleaded guilty and accepted his mistake. The matter is now closed," said media manager GS Walia here this morning.

Virat Kohli gestures with his middle finger

Virat Kohli was pictured showing his middle finger to the crowd on the second day when Indians were on the ropes and Australians were piling runs by hundreds in the middle. The level two offence for breaching the ICC's code of conduct relates to "using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive and of a seriously insulting nature to another player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other third person during an international match.

The minimum punishment for such an offence is 50 per cent of the match fee or a maximum penalty of a one-Test suspension. Kohli had earlier used twitter to present his personal viewpoint on the matter.

"I agree cricketers don't have to retailiate, what when the crowd says the worst things about your mother and sister, the worst I've heard," tweeted Kohli.

Former England skipper and one-time team-mate of Kohli in the IPL side Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kevin Pietersen offered a word of sympathy to the young batsman on twitter. "Welcome to Australia buddy... you beat them and they start abusing their own."
It seems a Sydney Test between the two nations can't pass without a controversy. During India's last tour of Australia in 2007-08, a massive row erupted on the "monkeygate" issue and nearly led to the abandonment of the tour and a diplomatic row between the two nations.

Australia in control following day full of wickets

Sydney: In the 129 years since the SCG hosted its first Test, batsmen's lives have been made infinitely easier. Pitches are now covered. Boundaries have been shortened by ropes. Helmets have allowed batsmen to hook with impunity, and they do so with heavier bats. It is to the credit of the bowlers that the contest between bat and ball remains gripping. So it was on the first day of this match, as James Pattinson and his Australian colleagues, and then Zaheer Khan for India, dominated proceedings.

Scorecard

By stumps on the opening day of the SCG's hundredth Test, 13 wickets had tumbled - more than the 11 that fell on the first day of Test cricket at the ground back in 1882. India's captain MS Dhoni chose to bat on a pitch that featured some grass, but his batsmen didn't back him up. Dhoni was the only man to score a half-century in India's innings of 191, which ended soon after tea, and it was the wrong way for India to start a Test in which they needed victory to retain a chance of winning the series.

Briefly, and surprisingly, their total appeared competitive, for Australia's inexperienced top order wobbled to 3 for 37 against the swing of Zaheer. But through Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting, Australia wrested back the advantage. At stumps, their partnership had grown to 79, Australia's score was 3 for 116, and Ponting (44 not out) and Clarke (47 not out) both looked in ominous form.

Things could easily have gone badly wrong for Australia after Zaheer's early strikes. David Warner edged in the first over of the innings, the catch snapped up by Sachin Tendulkar at first slip after bounced out of the hands of VVS Laxman at second. In Zaheer's next over, his first ball caught the edge of Shaun Marsh's bat and was taken by Laxman, placing Zaheer on a hat-trick.

It continued a disappointing return to Test cricket for Marsh, whose golden duck followed 0 and 3 in the Melbourne Test. This time he played limply at a ball he should have left alone, returning the favour of earlier the day, when Laxman fell to a similarly poor stroke that was edged to Marsh in the cordon. Both men would happy with their catches, neither with their choice of shot.

Zaheer's hat-trick ball was negotiated by Ponting, but a few overs later the opener Ed Cowan became Zaheer's third wicket, trapped lbw for 16 to a ball that struck him just in line with off stump. It was a fine spell of bowling from Zaheer, but the partnership of Clarke and Ponting, both of whom played some fine pulls late in the day, gave Australia a strong chance of a first-innings lead.

But as India showed in their first innings, good starts from two men won't necessarily mean anything. Dhoni finished unbeaten on 57 and Tendulkar, searching for his hundredth international hundred in the SCG's hundredth Test, made a confident 41 but a distinct lack of support from the rest of the batting order cost India dearly.

Again, they were beaten by an excellent bowling performance from Australia's three fast men, Pattinson, Ben Hilfenhaus and Peter Siddle, who between them collected all ten wickets. Watching the strongly-built Pattinson bound in and attack some of the world's best batsmen, it is easy to forget how inexperienced he is - this was the first time he had played a first-class match at the SCG.

He betrayed no nerves and struck in the first over of the Test: his third ball pitched leg and nipped away from Gautam Gambhir, who edged to first slip for a duck to continue his slump. It was tough going early for India's batsmen and Rahul Dravid departed for 5 from 33 deliveries when he inside-edged onto his leg off Siddle and was taken by Cowan at short leg.

That brought Tendulkar to the crease to a standing ovation, as is the case in every innings he plays these days, and he played some wonderful cover-drives as Siddle bowled full, seeking an edge. But while Tendulkar was calm and classy, his partner Virender Sehwag never looked completely settled.

There were a few typical Sehwag flashes and he was lucky not to be caught at second slip on 23 when he edged Hilfenhaus and Ponting put down a simple chance, and a Siddle offcutter beat the bat and sailed over the stumps. Sehwag's luck ran out on 30 when he got a regulation edge behind off the outswing of Pattinson, who had returned for another spell and bowled full, fast and tested the batsmen.

It was precisely that sort of delivery that Pattinson used to get rid of Laxman (2), a man who has tormented Australia over the years, especially at the SCG, where his Test average before today was 96.20. Laxman didn't move his feet and wafted at a drive before he was well set - but it was Pattinson's outswing that ensured the edge behind.

It left India at 4 for 72 at lunch and although Tendulkar and Virat Kohli steadied and batted solidly in the half hour after the break, the wickets again started to fall. Kohli was done by Siddle's aggression - two bouncers were followed by a fuller outswinger and the batsman didn't move his feet well enough, edging behind for 23.

Soon afterwards, Pattinson picked up the huge wicket of Tendulkar, who had looked good in his 41 but played on when he tried to drive a fullish ball wide of off stump. A ton of tons would have to wait. R Ashwin and Dhoni steadied the innings with a 54-run stand but in the last over before tea, Ashwin (20) edged to slip and next ball Zaheer fended a catch to short leg to put Hilfenhaus on a hat-trick.

After tea, Ishant Sharma survived the hat-trick ball but few more - he also gloved a well-directed Hilfenhaus bouncer to short leg. Siddle finished the innings by having Umesh Yadav caught behind for a duck off a good full outswinger, the last three tailenders all having made ducks. Australia's lower order showed in Melbourne how important late runs can be; India may rue their tail's inability to stick around and support Dhoni, who ran out of partners.

His decision to bat was sound, but much of India's batting was not. Their chances might now rest with the bowlers.

Australia will defeat India 4-0, forecasts McGrath

Sydney: Pace legend Glenn McGrath foresees Australia whitewashing India 4-0 in the ongoing Test series as he feels the home team's pace bowling attack, especially the young James Pattinson, gives it a decisive edge over the visitors.

"Yesterday, I said 3-0 but I stuffed up because I thought there were only three Tests. But definitely 4-0 now," said McGrath at the SCG where he was promoting McGrath Foundation for breast cancer.

"The way the guys have played at the moment I've been very impressed. I think a team builds itself around a bowling attack and you look at the bowling attack the team has at the moment.

"It will give the rest of the guys a lot of confidence so I'm very confident, as confident as I've been in years that this team is something special and expecting big things from them too," he added.

McGrath had words of praise for pace bowling sensation James Pattinson.

"I've been very impressed to look at James, the way he comes on to bowl. He's big, he's strong and he's nice and tall.

"He has a good action, he bowls in great areas and got good pace and a great attitude. I've really enjoyed watching him bowl and getting stuck into the Indian batsmen," he said.

Pattinson was man of the match at the MCG for his seven wickets and unbeaten knocks of 18 and 37 in two innings. Above all, he breathed fire and bowled with aggression at the Indians.

"Definitely, it's all about attitude and we're fast bowlers at the end of the day. You don't bowl half volleys and skip around the park smiling at batsmen, do you?" said McGrath.

"I wish I could bowl that quick and it's been a great start for his career to have a couple of five-wicket hauls under the belt. The confidence has got to be up.

"I think he's got a huge future. I wish I started my career as well as James has so I'm expecting huge things from him definitely."

The great fast bowler, who took 563 wickets during his career of 124 Tests, said Australia would do no harm if they opt to play four fast bowlers in this Test.

"It has spun in the past in Sydney. I like a spinner in the team as a bit of balance but with Ryan Harris with the form he was in before he got injured to bring him back into the team would offer so much and especially playing India in Australian conditions.

"I think the extra bounce we get extra bit of seam movement which actually works in our favour. I've been very impressed with our bowling attack, the way we bowled in Melbourne was great so I'm expecting big things from the boys in this Test match also," he said.

Sachin can secure his 100th ton in Sydney: Curator

Sachin Tendulkar's wait for his elusive 100th international century is likely to come to an end during the second Test against Australia here, says the curator of the Sydney Cricket Ground's pitch Tom Parker.

While Australian coach Mickey Arthur claims to have found "chinks in armour" of Indian batsmen, Parker feels Tendulkar is should get to the milestone at the SCG where he averages an astonishing 221.

"It would be fantastic if Tendulkar gets his century here. If I am not wrong, he scored 150-odd at this venue last time. I don't see why it should change," declared Parker.

Tendulkar has a long-time affair with the SCG, scoring his first century on his maiden visit to this part of the world in 1991-92 which also happened to be the first Test of Shane Warne.

Over the years, Tendulkar added two more centuries at the venue, again both unbeaten efforts which helped his average to soar to 221.33 with 664 runs from four Tests and seven innings.

The curator opines that batting will be difficult especially on the first day of the match but the track would ease later.

"It's very similar to the Ashes pitch last year. It's the same pitch, same grass. It will first do a little bit and then settle down," he said.

Parker concurs with the general observation that the pitch would have pace and bounce but it would be inconsistent and not the spongy type as it was at the MCG.

"For the last few years, there's been a bit more grass. It has happened for last 5-6 years. I am very happy with how pitch behaved last year or the year before.

"It will have pace and bounce. But it would be consistent and that's how I look the prepare pitches. I hope it's not (like MCG). The last few years, it has played very well and in a similar fashion on day four and five as well," Parker said.

Parker was emphatic that pacemen would have good purchase on the surface on the first day but spinners would also have their say on day four and five.

"There will be more on day one (for pacers). When it's overcast and humid it swings more here. But as I said the bounce is good and even and it would turn at some stage, may be on Day 3 but definitely on Day four and five."

There's been only one draw at the SCG over the last 16 years and 18 Test matches and Parker sees no reason why it should be different.

"I am hoping it's a result wicket. That's my track record. I have prepared many result wickets in Test matches at this venue."

Incidentally, the only draw at this venue was the 2003-04 Test between India and Australia when the visitors made 704 runs, topped by Tendulkar's unbeaten 241.

Parker admits he was a bit concerned about the pitch preparation as it has been unusually cold and rainy over the last few weeks.

"I was a bit concerned early on. But the weather has cleared up over the last few weeks. There's sun out today and it's to be very warm tomorrow. Indeed, the last few days have been fantastic.

Parker denied he received any instruction from the Australians on the pitch preparation.

"The players haven't spoken to me. I've been left alone to my own devices. (As for the Indians), they generally inquired about the pitch preparation and how's the weather going to be," he explained.

Australia smash Indian Team in 1st Test Match

Australia smashed India by 122 runs in the starting Test on Thursday, ruining their own vaunted batting lineup using aggressive pace to state a important win within four days in Melbourne.

.India, chasing a historically challenging and difficult 292 runs for glory, were never in the look after they failed to 81 for 6 with the critical the loss of Sachin Tendulkar's wicket late in the midsection.

The tourists, who have yet to win a series in Australia in 64 years, were routed for 169 off 47.5 overs after Australia squeezed another 61 runs from their remaining two wickets earlier in the day.

James Pattinson led the way with four for 53 while Peter Siddle claimed the prized scalp of Tendulkar for 32 to again keep the Indian star's 100th international century on hold.

"It's fantastic to get a win against India, who we love beating, and put the disappointment of the New Zealand loss in Hobart behind us," said Pattinson, who won his second man-of-the-match award in his three Tests.
"We were in a bit of trouble last night but credit to Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey to get us out of trouble.

 
"We've just got this never-say-die attitude sort of feeling in the camp at the moment and it's a great feeling."
India were always up against it as they faced up to the highest fourth-innings run chase in almost 60 years at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
South Africa were the last team to achieve a higher fourth-innings target of 297 for four in beating Australia at the MCG in 1953.

"We should have been able to chase 300 with the kind of batting we've got, so another bad start to a Test series," said captain M.S. Dhoni after India's fifth consecutive loss in an away Test.
"I think all the bowlers did a very good job and got us back into the game, but I just think the batting needs to click a bit more."
It was a bowlers' Test match with no batsman scoring a century. Australian Hussey came the closest with 89 in the second innings.

Australia's pace trio Pattinson, Ben Hilfenhaus and Siddle maintained a full line and length and never let up on the Indian batsmen.
India, 24 for one at lunch after losing Virender Sehwag for seven, unravelled in the middle session with five wickets tumbling for 93 runs.
Gautam Gambhir fell to a fired-up Siddle, edging to the safe hands of Ponting at second slip for 13.
Rahul Dravid was bowled for the second time in the match with a pearler from Pattinson that crashed into his middle-stump for 10.

V.V.S. Laxman was out cheaply again flicking Pattinson to Ed Cowan at square leg for just one after scoring two in the first innings.
Virat Kohli was out first ball, leg before wicket to Hilfenhaus with Tendulkar fast running out of batting partners.
But Tendulkar was next to go, slicing Siddle to Hussey in the gully for 32. With his departure India's chances dipped considerably, silencing the "Swarmy Army" India supporters and prompting many to leave the ground.
Tendulkar now takes his quest for his 100th Test and one-day century to next week's second Test in Sydney.

Ravi Ashwin went shortly after tea to a rearing Siddle delivery which he lobbed to Cowan for 30. Zaheer Khan blasted a six off Pattinson but when he shaped to do the same on the next ball, he popped a gentle catch to Cowan close-in for 13. Pattinson bowled Dhoni for 23 and Umesh Yadav was the last wicket to fall, caught athletically on the boundary by David Warner off spinner Nathan Lyon for 21, with Ishant Sharma six not out. India began the day poorly when Australia added 61 runs for their last two wickets off 16.3 overs to exasperate the tourists' bowlers. Hussey had a charmed life before he went 11 short of a century, and Pattinson remained unbeaten on 37 not out as he put on 43 runs for the last wicket before Hilfenhaus was the last man out for 14.

Triple attacks by Yadav difficulties Australia (2nd Lead)

Melbourne: The Aussies were able to post 8 for 179 in 60 overs in the second innings by the end of third day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). In the first innings Australia scored 333 and India did 282 runs on the scorecard.

Umesh Yadav is playing a key role in restricting Australian batsmen to low scores. Earlier in the first innings, the pacer provided three jolts and in the second innings, he improved his figure to four. Also, Zaheer Khan was able to strike four batsmen in the first innings but he was unable to open his account on the third day.

Australia received early blows as Yadav and Ishant helped Aussies kneel as Australia showed 4 for 63 on scoreboard. Later Ponting and Hussey helped Australia back into the game as they posted their 50s. M Hussey and JL Pattinson are alive on the crease with a score of 69* and 3*. Kangaroos lead with 230 runs and 2 wickets in hand.

Hang on goes for Tendulkar like Dravid places India in the driving seat in Melbourne

Sachin Tendulkar confronted to bring up the magical 100th overseas century but was dismissed late on day two after helping put India in charge of the 1st Test against Australia.

The long walk: Sachin Tendulkar gives a rueful glance over his left shoulder after missing out on the milestone once again

 

 

Tendulkar was bowled superbly by Peter Siddle for a dashing 73 from 98 deliveries, three balls before stumps at the MCG.

He had teamed up with Rahul Dravid, who scored a patient 68 not out to help the tourists reach 214 for three heading into the third day in response to Australia's first-innings score of 333.

That's out: Peter Siddle accounts for Tendulkar at the MCG

 The two greatest Test run-scorers of all-time put on 117 for the third wicket - their 20th century partnership.

Worryingly for Australia, they were looking at their ominous best before Siddle intervened and forced nightwatchman Ishant Sharma to make an appearance.

It did not take long for Tendulkar to get his eye in and he treated the 52,858-strong crowd to a batting masterclass with top-notch stroke play which delivered some perfectly-executed boundaries.

The Little Master saw off eight balls in a nervous period before tea, following Virender Sehwag's dismissal for 67 in the penultimate over of the middle session.

No ball: Rahul Dravid was handed a reprieve after a video replay

He then set the tone for his innings with the first ball of the final session, doing so in spectacular style with an outrageous six when he flicked Siddle over the slip cordon and the third-man boundary.

It was the first of three precise late cuts he guided over the slips in what was a display of supreme awareness, vision and timing.

Tendulkar had eight fours to go with his six, and scored his 64th Test fifty with a single off Nathan Lyon that produced one of the loudest cheers of the day from a Melbourne crowd which featured a healthy portion of Indian supporters.

At the other end, Dravid was at his resolute best and lived up to his nickname of The Wall, with his 68 runs coming from 185 balls.

Dravid had been a lot more circumspect than Tendulkar but there were some flashes of brilliance, none more impressive than when he hit a glorious glance for four off Siddle after he opened his wrists ever so slightly.

Tendulkar overtook Dravid, who notched his 63rd Test fifty, despite the latter getting a 28-over head start.

Dravid was assured in his stroke-play and looked impregnable for the most part although he did experience some hairy moments courtesy of Ben Hilfenhaus, James Pattinson and Siddle.

Most notably, six overs before stumps, Siddle did find a way through when he bowled Dravid, but after much jubilation the delivery was adjudged to be a no-ball after umpire Marais Erasmus referred it to the third umpire, much to the Victorian firebrand's horror.

Fancy a livener? Dravid takes evasive
action as James Pattinson fires in the short stuff

But Tendulkar's wicket would have served as a decent consolation for Siddle who bowled a ripping spell at the end of the day which yielded one for seven from four overs.

Tendulkar and Dravid had experienced little trouble dealing with the off-spin of Lyon, and the absence of an all-rounder in the team meant part-timers David Hussey and David Warner bowled their respective medium pace and leg spin with little effect against the greatest and second-greatest Test run scorers of all time.

Pacemen Pattinson and Hilfenhaus had made a blistering start to India's innings but could not build momentum.

Hilfenhaus bowled fantastically well early on and he troubled Dravid and Sehwag, in particular, on numerous occasions with superb pace, line and length.

While Pattinson was outstanding, especially in the period prior to tea which saw him take one for seven from five overs in a spell of venomous pace bowling which saw him bowl Sehwag after the opener had a number of near-misses in an entertaining and risky innings which included seven boundaries.
Sehwag brought up his 8,000th Test run and 31st Test fifty and combined well with Dravid as they put on 75 for the second wicket.
Earlier, Australia made it to 333 thanks to some handy cameos from Siddle (41), Hilfenhaus (19) and Pattinson (18 not out) after starting the day on 277 for six.

Picture perfect: An expectant crowd assembled at the MCG for the second day

Veteran Indian paceman Zaheer Khan (four for 77) and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (three for 81) wrapped up Australia's innings as they shared the remaining four wickets evenly.

On the other hand, impressive Australian debutant Ed Cowan is under a health and fitness cloud after injuring his backside in the course of the warm-up and receiving treatment.

Cowan re-entered the world to resume fielding duties in the second session but had to leave the field once again shortly after.

Sachin will complete century of hundreds at Melbourne: Harbhajan

 Discarded Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday exuded confidence that master batsman Sachin Tendulkar will complete a century of international hundreds in the Boxing Day Test match at Australia's Melbourne.

"I am confident he will get his century of international hundreds in the first Test match of (India's) tour to Australia. That will be a proud moment for all of us," Harbhajan said on the sidelines of a function.

Harbhajan's slump in form has paved the way for two young spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha to be picked for the four-Test series against Australia.

Harbhajan said the whole country is now praying for Tendulkar.

"My best wishes are with him. The whole country is praying for him," he added.

Tendulkar is now one ton away from becoming the first batsman in the history of cricket to achieve the landmark.

Is Kate Upton Mark Sanchez’s girlfriend?

The New York Post has reported that Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has been frequenting the apartment of model Kate Upton. The report claims that Sanchez has been seen on numerous occasions at the apartment of Upton sparking rumors that the two are in a relationship.

The report further says Sanchez has been seen at the apartment of the swimsuit supermodel as late as midnight on some occasions. Witnesses told the newspaper that Sanchez mostly comes to the apartment trying to disguise himself. The two reportedly ensure that they wouldn’t get to the apartment together.

 A source was quoted as saying that, “They never come in together. He’s always five steps after her.”

However that is disputed by another source who claims that the two are nothing more than best friends. This is the second time in less than a week that the newspaper is carrying out a story on Sanchez’s romantic life.

Last week, the newspaper carried another story saying Sanchez was involved with “two mystery women” at a hotel. The report said Sanchez entertained the two women at the Moderne Hotel.

There has been no reaction to the story from both Sanchez and Upton who was previously linked with rapper Kanye West.

Porn movie on Neo Sports. n govt. channel DD1 SEHWAG RAPING 11 BLACKS....:)

 On Thursday, anything was possible for virendra sehwag. By the time he was out for 219, the highest individual score in ODIs, there were still 53.3 overs left to be bowled at Indore. But everyone knew the contest was over. Cricket is a team sport. But not when Sehwag is in the mood and in torrent. 
This was a Viru, Viru special. Like the online smash hit, it instantly took India by storm. But there was no kolaveri, or murderous rage, on display. It was vintage kola-Viru - nonchalant execution, Sehwag style. His strokes were violent; his demeanour was almost child-like. 

The stand-in India captain even joked with the Caribbeans. He seemed to be batting for pleasure, as if sharing a gift of the gods with lesser mortals. No surprise that despite being at the receiving end, they all shook hands with him when he departed. That included captain Darren sammywho had let slip the dolliest of chances when Sehwag was on 170.
