India v South Africa, 1st Test, Chennai, 3rd day
'The best Test match innings I've ever seen' - Arthur
Siddhartha Vaidyanathan in Chennai
March 28, 2008
Mickey Arthur, the South African coach, said he had not visualised the
game taking such a course in his "wildest dreams", admitting that he had
not seen a better Test innings than Virender Sehwag's 309 in Chennai.
"I thought if they want 400, it would probably be about lunch time or
after tomorrow," he said at the end of a day when South Africa conceded
386 runs. "Last night I looked at every possible scenario that could
develop and this wasn't one. I didn't think in my wildest dreams they
would score at such a rate. Again that's only due to one man."
Arthur couldn't stop gushing about Sehwag's monumental effort, a
triple-hundred struck at a quickfire rate. "I think that's the best
Test-match innings I've ever seen," he said. "The way he played today
was absolutely amazing. We tried to attack him, we defended against him,
tried to bowl straight lines, bowl wide, over the wicket, round the
wicket, did everything possible. And he countered us.
"When Veeru is batting he scores so quickly and in unconventional areas.
The moment you changed the fielder he reverse-swept and hit over square
leg. It was a fantastic innings and obviously put India in a very good
position."
