Sehwag or Watson?

Simple question, who is better? Who would you pick?

Sehwag easily.

Sehwag easily.

+1

I had to think about it for at least 0.0032 seconds, though.

Sehwag in 0.00000000001 of a second

Re: Shewag or Watson?

Unfair comparison - Sehwag is without a doubt one of the best openers in the world - Watson has only started his career at opener.

Not really, Watson is Australias best at the moment.

Re: Shewag or Watson?

Depends on the team. You want a batsman only, pick Sehway, you want a batting all rounder Watson is better

 

[flamethrower]

If I was selecting a World XI, Sehwag would be just about 1st selected.

 

[Damon_3388]

Sehwag is my favourite batsman, so I'll choose him

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Is this just another thread to play down how good Watson has been? The comparison doesn't even make sense. Sehwag is on another level so why is anyone comparing them?

 

[Wallaby]

Look, before yoiu all jump in and automatically say 'Sehwag is miles better', lets look at it calmly and dispassionately.

Right.

Hmm.......

Ok, he is miles better. Miles and miles better.

If you were going on batting alone then clearly Sehwag. Bowling wise, Sehwag is actually pretty good, hes better than any of our spinners just India usually play 2 spinners so hes hardly used.

LOL, Watson has one good summer and people start comparing him to Sehwag.

 

[flight23]

sehwag or anyone else?

 

[King Elvis]

Watson or Salman Butt?

 

[davey_magik]

I despise Watson but he's a damn good cricketer.

He's no Sehwag though.

 

[Caesar]

They're not even the same kind of player. This is a stupid comparison. Sehwag is a handy parttime bowler at best, Watson is a fully-fledged allrounder.

If you're going to compare Watson to anyone it should be to batting allrounders like Flintoff, Kallis, Gayle, etc.

Re: Shewag or Watson?

Sehwag

but still this

Unfair comparison - Sehwag is without a doubt one of the best openers in the world - Watson has only started his career at opener.

 

[BluesInTheSky]

Shewag is a good bowler, very handy.

 

[The_Reaper]

Sehwag is the one player to make his debut this decade that could claim to be a great batsman

 

[The Falcon Strike]

who do you want ricky ponting or faisal iqbal???

Sehwag - one of the great openers of all time.

Watson - average joe in a bit of good form

 

[Tambaran]

Sharma or Johnson?

 

[King Elvis]

Sehwag - one of the great openers of all time.

If Watson stays fit, he'll finish with a very good career, he's a bloody good cricketer.

Sehwag is phenomenal at the moment (and has been for a while, no doubt) though, it's not even a contest.

 

[Kram]

Watson.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Sehwag at this point as an opener given his devastation, and that's not putting Watson down at all. As a cricketer though I go for Watson, given he's an all-rounder. Watson is one of the best cricketers in world cricket right now given his batting, bowling and fielding.
