I love this:
Code:
Bowling                      O      M      R      W
McGrath                      3      1      2      1
Anything's possible with this guy going well. The cricinfo text commentary runs as follows:
Code:
5.1 McGrath to Sehwag, OUT: gone! short of a good length delivery,
        Sehwag moves back and pulls it straight to Hussey at midwicket,
        McGrath strike !  World XI one down

       ICC World XI 18/1, Partnership of 18
       V Sehwag  c Hussey b McGrath  6 (10b 0x4 0x6)
       KC Sangakkara 10* (22b 1x4) GD McGrath 2.1-0-2-1

       Was not short enough to go for the pull and Sehwag was in no
        position to play that shot but he did! - now Watson can breath
        freely
ps. tne comment about Watson refers to this:
Code:
4.3 Lee to Sehwag, no run, edged and dropped! good length delivery
        outside the off stump, Sehwag drives at it with no real foot-foot,
        ball clips the edge and goes straight to Watson at first slip,
        sitter dropped - how costly is that going to be!
I can't believe Sehwag has got such a following when his footwork is worse than Trescothick's!
