Many people say that he is a flat-track bully but these people are wrong
Agreed.There was this valiant knock on the opening day at MCG boxing day test match in 2003.Awesome innings.But,One cannot live in past glory.Have fiath.Give chance..but for how long

If Sehwag can get past the new Kookaburra ball I am sure he can make a big score.
The sad part has been that he has made no attempts to change the way he plays ever since he knew himself that he has been struggling.Being more cautious or trying to spend some time. Same shots.same dismissal.same behaviour

The problem is that he is getting dismissed too early and exposing the new ball to India's middle order.
I think the only solution to this matter is to move Sehwag down the order
This is a very good suggestion actually.One of the innings you mentioned, the century he scored against SA in SA was i guess when he came down the order.He and sachin both scored centuries back in 2001 i guess when we last toured SA.Indian team management should have tried this.Dravid and jaffer opening.

Don't pity Pathan Tendlya I would rather see Pathan taking wickets, if he gets runs its only a bonus
This was what imran khan warned us back then. i meant i feel sorry for Pathan when compared to viru
