Usually, I don’t do conferences, they do me. But when it’s Sehwag, know I’m due.
Sehwag at Shangri-La, another award show, cricinfo this time.
So, what does Viru say? Not much, but worth a listen.
On when he didn’t make the England tour his wife told him while watching a game, "we could have been watching in London, but we’re watching in Nasafgarh." Straight faced.
No canned laughter.
On 3 bowlers that trouble him, named only two. McGrath and Murali - how he didn’t read Murali’s Doosra.
But yet he scored through covers when Murali had a 6 man on-side field. ‘thought he was bowling the doosra when was bowling an offspinner’. Straight faced.
No canned laughter.
On preparation: When Kirsten bowled on to his legs, asked him to ‘hit me (with the ball)’ and he was ‘playing shot’
On family life: son plays with two bats, takes one bat from his cousin sis, and Sehwag bowls to the two batted kid. Straight faced
No canned laughter.
Sehwag’s awards: test batting performance of the year 201* v Lanka, 2nd test, Galle. Batting pair of the year (tests) Sehwag+Gambhir, Most % runs in boundaries (tests+ODI), Highest strike rate (tests+ODI), Funny guy.
For Bored Member Som’s take.
No canned laughter. Genuine
