Best Tactic To Handle Reverse Swing --- The Sehwag Way!

Batsmen like Sehwag are rewriting the rules of cricket. I particularly liked this anecdote in an article on Sehwag in this week's issue of Tehelka.

What kind of man is this innocent assassin who has elevated batting, and thinking, to a level of such simplicity? The story that captures him best has been told often enough, but it bears repetition here. England batsman Jeremy Snape pointed out in a match where they were batting together that he was having a problem with the reverse swing. Perhaps it was the ball that was aiding it? Don’t worry, Sehwag told him, I will hit this ball out of the stadium and then they will have to find another ball. And he proceeded to do exactly that. The replacement didn’t swing as much.
