Virender Sehwag’s ability to punish anything erring inline and length is well known, and his innings atHyderabad demonstrated that yet again. Whenever NewZealand bowled a bad ball – either too short or toofull – Sehwag capitalised. The 39 short-of-a-lengthdeliveries he received were dispatched for 47 runs inall, while the 24 balls too full were put away for asmany as 52 runs, most off the booming drives he isfamous for.It was, in fact, just the sort of bowlingthat Sehwag needed to play himself back into form -one with plenty of bad deliveries that he couldroutinely free his arm to and get his eye back. Heseemed his old self again by the time he wasdismissed, and Australia may have to tread carefullyat Kolkata.New Zealand v SehwagRunsBallsLength0803Full Toss0001Yorker1612Half Volley3963Good Length3947Short of Length2809Short.
