Re: 3rd Test , India vs England @ Mumbai
I do not care about Sehwag's batting average...he is just not the man for the Test Opener's job....He will score a century one day, a duck next day.
Even yesterday, he looked liked getting out every few balls....he simply cannot resist flashing to short rising deliveries outside off. But people will only go by his end score (70+) and believe he performed great.
The man is just too unreliable...and I am sure bowlers fancy getting an early wicket when he opens. Also when he falls early(which is quite often) - bowlers are bowling with their tails up to Dravid etc who immediately withdraw into a shell and bring upon additional pressure.
I would rather have an opener who can consistently score in the 30-100 range than have Sehwag open and pray to God he performs.
