modesty... thy name is not jatman...

by straight point

can you ever imagine players coming straight out of pr factories to say something like this...?

whether in giving advice...
I have always said to Gautam that getting a 100 is not enough. Get double or even triple hundreds. That’s how you can create fear in the minds of the opposition bowlers. Unless they are in awe, they will not show you the respect you deserve.

or talking about his batting...
I don’t want to sound pompous. But I can surely tell you that once I get to 60 or 70 there’s no bowler in the world who can get Virender Sehwag out. Only Virender Sehwag can get Sehwag out at moments when I am batting the way I am currently.

his mantra to score 300 in a day...
There are 90 overs to be played in a day. If I am able to hit a boundary in 80 of these I can get to a triple hundred by the end of the day’s play and set a match up for my team.

or about his resolution for 2010...
We aren’t playing too many Tests, but in the limited number of tests we are playing, I want to get a 1,000 runs. My ambition is to get 1,500 or even 2,000 runs in a year in Test matches.

...and what does he do when whacking hapless bowlers in middle...?
simply sings bhajans...


you can read it full here... 100 is never enough...

Some serious scahuden-freude waiting for jatman in 2010. Even God cannot tempt fate thus.

The only problem is every time he talks himself up he goes through a bad run. It happened in 2004 when he said he wanted to score a double hundred in ODIs and again in 2006 when he was talking smack after scoring 250 against Pakistan.

come on guys - that link is a hoax. Sehwag cannot talk like that.

BTW, that Gabbar comment I put on Zaheer's post was meant to be on this one (hrrmph) - tongue in check of course.
