People seems to be joking when they pick Sehwag as opener in all time
XIs. Does anyone know whats his average in 3th/4th innings?

yes, its better than Dravid's average against attacks with some teeth
to it or pitches which have some juice in them.

I know i know, he averages 80 in 2nd innings, Jack hobbs averages
almost 70! But just look at his innings! he has belted bowlers in
indian flat tracks! his away 2nd innings average is 56 ; Jack hobbs
moves to 72(http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?

So sehwag's claim to fame get trashed here too!

Well I picked both Hobbs and Sehwag.
Yeah, there's no doubt Sehwag is controversial, and I only picked him
in the context of an overall team.

He either scores a lot, or I get to see Bradman earlier. It's a win-
win.
