equatorFor years I have been talking about how shit nightwatchmen are.
In podcasts I get particularity pissed off at limp dicked batsmen who can’t go out and do their job and instead have to hide behind tough bowlers.
They fucken piss me off.
Now the one true prophet our lord Virender Sehwag has his say on nightwatmen.
“There is this story about you declining a nightwatchman, where you said you were not an able batsman if you couldn’t last 25 balls at the end of the day. Is that true?
It is true. What is the difference between batting at the end of the day or at the start? If you make a mistake you’ll get out. So I don’t think a batsman really needs a nightwatchman, but it is totally an individual decision. Whenever a captain or coach asked me for a nightwatchman I would say, “No, why? If I can’t survive 10 or 20 balls now, then I don’t think I’ll survive tomorrow morning.” I believe that’s the best time when you have the opportunity to score runs, when everybody on the field is tired and you can score 20 runs off those 20 balls.”
It is official sehwagologists, Nightwatchmen are shit, get out there and hit a quick 20 and stop your bitching.
The God has spoken!
nightwatchgirl agrees. Nightwatchmen are rubbish. Especially the vodaphone variety.
Amen, Brother.
Except for one J Gillespie. But he was playing as a batsman in that match.
Anderson always scores a single at the beginning of the over to maintain his duckless record
Tony Mann is weeping
Do you want to put Jimmy Anderson out of his job and lose his ECB contract?
“But I have never entered that zone even if I’ve scored triple-centuries twice. Maybe I will enter that zone they talk about in future.”

“Sometimes I play according to the situation.”

“Tendulkar told me he would hit me on the bum if I hit sixes. At 295 [in Multan, 2004] I told him I was hitting Saqlain for a six and that he could hit me on the bum if he wanted”
You are on 295 and about to be the first India ever to hit a triple ton. The greatest batsmen at least in India and one whom you idolized growing up tells you to not hit a six. And you reply like this. And follow it up with a six. This would convince all the non believers. Sehwag is the Lord.
Interviewer: Did Greg Chappell give you any sort of valuable tips?
Sehwag: No.
He certainly minces no words.
