284no at the close of play - 3/1 to beat Lara's record, no reason for them to carry on for another day either with only 50 runs in hand.

I saw that he'd made his century of around 100 balls, he must have gone some for the second century.

Listening to Robert Key on Sky yesterday, and he reckons Sehwag is the greatest batsman of ALL-TIME(!!!)...better than Bradman, Lara, Richards or whoever else you want to mention!!..

Now Sehwag is good, and certainly is great entertainment for the spectator, but I just slightly think that old Fatboy Key is getting a tad carried away....

In my opinion, Sehwag is a bit of a flat track bully...He looks great against average bowling (of which there is plenty on the modern day international circuit), but against top class bowling he is often caught out.

The greatest batsman I have witnessed is undoubtedly Viv Richards, a man who could slay any bowler, no matter the quality, and he could do so in a fantastically nonchalant manner....A true genius.

Or on dull, lifeless pitches with nothing in it for the bowlers (of which there is far to f---ing much in modern-day international cricket)

Precisely, which is why I labelled him a 'flat-track bully'...
