I think more space has been devoted to Sachin missing his 200 than
Sehwag's 300.
Enough already!

Yes, it was a rather insrcutable decision, they should have waited a
couple of overs more, but just take a look at "The Hindu" online
edition's frontpage.
The 300 gets a passing reference.

What nonsense. Let the guy, Sehwag have his moment in the sun.
Big deal, Sachin missed his 200, bigger news-worthy item is the
triple.

No Offense, but if you don;t like reading about something, don't read about
it. Simple.

Exactly.
I mentioned in an earlier post that if it had been Dravid or Laxman or
Ganguly left at 194*, there would be a brief mention and more talk about
what good team players they are. Sachin should have kept mum.

Sehwag should get all the accolades he deserves.

Only if he ran out partners.  Had he been stranded because of a declaration,
you'd have heard.

Speaking of which, Ponting, the captain of the best team in the world, says
that he would not have stranded one of his players on 194.

Only because the game was over.  Had the case been one of adjusting the
strike so that Ganguly's hundred was manufactured you'd have heard about it.

Like when Dravid was 'allowed' to score the winning runs in T2 in the last
AUS series

Dravid was given the chance by Ganguly, which is why no one really spend
time on it

So how about it, let's hear your views on the Sehwag knock.  A great
individual accomplishment, wouldn't you say?

It was above average.
