Yes, I agree to a certain extent. However, Sehwag actually can penetrate the field quite well whereas Afridi **always **has to go over the top. Ask yourself truelies, who would you rather have opening for you, Afridi or Sehwag? I would always go with Sehwag because you know more often than not he will perfrom for you. With Afridi he will occasionally produce a quick fire century but more often than not, he’ll get out cheaply. That’s the reason why Sehwag is not only in the Test team but he can also maintain his place comfortably.
