the commentary team of sky sports was today all over the place calling sehwag dumb for the shot he played.the shot wasnt all that clever but c'mon show some respect the guy is on his way to become a legend, he has changed the way cricket is played. He is not a someone who comes in for a match or 2 and is sidelined, the man has 2 triple centuries....in the elite company of brian lara and sir donald bradman. and the commentators are in no position to defame him like this they can scrutineer alright but show some respect whats the whole thing about calling him dumb....

well i felt that he said wat every indian cricketing fans were thinking about him that moment.even i thought he was dumb to play that show when only 12 overs left for the day.he didnt say dumb.he respect him in a way thats y he just spelled d u m b.
seriously i was a lil disappointed with his attitude.i know his strength is playing carefree cricket but i dont want him to cross the line and make it careless cricket

hello!!its a flat track for god's sake the man has made every single run in his life like this he wants bowlers to fear him thats his game if dravid plays the way he does and get out we dont hold him responsible...this is absolutely amazing this attitude of us indian cricket fans led to him being dropped he is such a confidence man . I think its high time we recognize to respect him for what he does. He plays selfless cricket and i dont mean that someone like dravid is selfish(god i'm his biggest fan if there was one,dravid's) but c'mon you can't call a player playing on field dumb no matter who the commentator is just look at his average and shut up.

Not only the commentary team but also two foolish Indians with a white board in the spectators called him stupid. Thats not the way a selfless cricketer should be treated, come on man thats the way he plays. And its his style of playing which has revolutionized the whole Indian team. And about those commentators i don't know who they were, as i haven't seen the match that day but can they surely they would be the people with unsuccessful carers now trying to make into commentary, but by using those words too they cant get even closer to where Sehwag has managed to reach. happy myl

Yeah, I heard them say D U M B .. .. i think they happened to say this because they happened to witness this 2 times in a row.. I hope Sehwag gives them a taste of his big tons so that they know who they are talking about.. a man who gave India the hope and belief that they can chase big totals in the final innings and hence can win at times when they thought draw was the only option.

You are absolutely correct. The first or the previous ball was hicked for a huge huge six for which like Tendulkar was giving nightmares to Shane Warne, so was Vettori getting it off Sehwag. I think, these dumb commentators themselves forgot this. You are absolutely right. Sehwag is really really on the way to becoming a great legend. A legend right after Sachin Tendulkar. I know Viru will take these words as a challange. And show these dumbies that, he is not one of the ordinary players around. And why is the need to do so. Afterall its human who make mistakes. Why didn't the commentators call Vettori DUMB all these days when he kept on losing matches after matches? After all dumbies are brothers!
