Alok, good post. There is no doubt that Shewag is a potentially
a great hitter of the ball. The Sachin, Shewag pair is going to be
a great one. It will have the balance, power and aggression needed
in the first fif*** overs.
One needs to be careful in international cricket. Shewag is new and
could get sorted out as opposite teams can look at his batting to
slow him down. Technically in international cricket you cannot
get SR>.9 and maintain an average of 30+. Afridi discovered that
in a hurry and was out of the picture. Even Yuvraj had to slow down
because his SR exceeded .9.
The advantage shewag has is he can quickly play square if he
misjudges the length and would require lesser footwork. Vishwanath
was a master at that. I would see Shewag in the same mould as
Vishwanath rather than Sachin or Gavaskar. Part of the problem
with Indian cricketors is they call get high and are in cloud nine
after an innings like and then later after a string of failures are
back to reality like Yuvraj or Shahid Afridi. So expect, Shewag
to be bouyant for a while, fail, and then slow down a bit.
