For some reason, we had to get to the bottom of the hill. It was wet and had deep, muddy furrows in it, but Sehwag said, 'come on' and simply ran through the furrows like a mountain goat. At the bottom, with the skyscrapers of a distant city before us, I found some cards of the kind kids are meant to collect. Imbedded in each was a bit of footage of Sehwag playing a shot. The one I looked at was filmed from behind a net, and Viru came down the wicket and smashed the ball hard at the camera.
The dream ended there, argument settled...
NB: Thanks to Jrod in the comments on the post below for pointing out that the Don got six runs closer than Sehwag to the three triple centuries. But then they couldn't field in those days. Have amended the post.

You've really got it bad, haven't you, OB?
Couldn't agree more with the earlier post, though - a great batsman, and all the more great for the things which distinguish him from so many others - lack of conventional footwork, headlong speed of scoring, and so on and so on.
QED, OB. I've always said that far too few cricket debates are settled by reference to one's dreams. Did I ever tell you that one I had about Derek Pringle and the celery?
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world and millions of students have the dream of becoming a national team player for their respective countries. It is indeed not easy to manage education and sport at the same time but because of their passion they hire assignment writing services in Dubai to finish the academic tasks faster so they don't have to give any extra time to education and they use that time in training and playing cricket on a daily basis.
