And They Managed the One at all important time
True, and then they managed the one (his own wicket) just when it would have mattered to Sehwag most. 3 runs short what would have put his name in history at the top.
The lesson may be: Never talk big. He still would have got out at the same score, but I feel, being humble does not hurt.
Any way, in a match where genuinly only 5 wickets fell due to the skills of the bowlers or say batsman's weekness, (two being run outs and one fell due to batsman trying to hit out) it was a befitting reply to the curator of the pitch who actually harmed the game of cricket by producing such a track.
Sehwag's effort is commendable and truely deservs the man of the match recognition, for it had been made agains a huge total. Such innings are not played every day. Good luck to team India and Sehwag. Keep going.
