A big load of the choicest horse crap. Selective stats at the very best (or worst) there. What you conveniently forget is that for a considerable period of time, Sir Mathew the slayer of All evil in the World Hayden too had such delectable batting records. Proof as below.
Before that, some interesting coincidences, Both Sehwag and Hayden are born in the same month, and just 9 days seperate their dates of birth within the month. Both made debut at roughly the same age, 23. And both have an uncanny playing style (taking it to the opposition), and both are favorite internet x vs y discussion topics.
There ends that. Now to business, From the time he made his debut, ie 23, which was in 1994, till 2001 beginning, ie, when he was about 29, Sir Mathew Hayden averaged a royal looking
26.40 in Test Match Cricket. And his away average was an even more majestic looking Mendisque
13.67 in 5 test matches. Proof? Please refer the image below :
And for Sehwag? His first 7 years in Test cricket, he made the small matter of about 4100 runs @ 50.
Now, Ben was crapping about how poor Sehwag's record is in NZ. Yes, dude it is. But Sir Mathew also had an equally abysmal record in roughly the same no. of matches in NZ during the same period. As to his record in SA, you conveniently forget that Sehwag was a manufactured opener than an actual one, and was a specialist middle order batsman thrust into opening, and hence was not an early success. But his 100 batting at no. 5 should put end to all such stupid allegations of his lack of success in SA. Please refer to the above table for Hayden's howler of performances against NZ and SA, ironically the same opposition Ben unluckily chose.
