Eat humble pie, Sehwag

Sehwag was made to eat humble pie today. His rash statement "Bangladesh are an ordinary side" earlier before the start of the test matches seems to have backfired. Pushed to the wall in the first innings on the first day Indian managed to claw back into the match by dismissing Bangladesh 1 run short of India's first innings total. Today, the insecurity of losing to a "lowly" Bangladesh team made Sehwag create a seemingly unbeatable target even willing to settle for a draw rather than aggressively pushing for a win. He has to learn the fine art of diplomacy that is required for captaincy. His nonchalant belligerent attitude on the batting track is not suitable for all occasions and definitely not for the subtlety required for a leader. Of course, there is a very good chance we might still win the match with Bangladesh needing 348 runs on the final day and India needing 8 wickets. But it s the manner in which we declared after setting a target of 415 for the last innings that betrays the nervousness in Sehwag.
