Guha gets it so right here

on Sehwag

Wonderful prose. I wish I could write my papers like that!

An excerpt 

As the taxi entered the driveway of my hotel, I decided I must (as fathers tend to) have the last word. "The two people I feel most sorry for today," I said to my son, "are TG Vaidyanathan and yourself." Why, he asked, allowing me to express, in my own voice, the words he knew were coming. I did. "TGV did not watch Virender Sehwag bat. And you did not watch BS Chandrasekhar bowl."

Well I missed Chandrasekhar's bowling too, but at least I saw Sehwag bat to my hearts content!
