Winning matters. To win you've gotta attack.

Big talk & more!.. Viru Sehwag..This time he seems to have gone overboard... overconfidence is for the foolish!.. As for Sehwag, it is a good idea if his bat did the talking..

Sports columnist K Sriniwas Rao had this to say - 'In Charles Darwin's magnum opus, The Origin of Species, the Neanderthal is an extinct member among modern day humans. However, says the author, the Neanderthal trait still prevails in some after thousands of years of human existence. It is rare but it does. If Darwin were to see on Thursday for himself, Virender Sehwag certainly wouldn't have looked out of place in this theory. Primal in his talent, primitive in instinct, Sehwag is cricket's rare species.'
This is what I say:
Sehwag scored brisk 45,52 and 56 in three innings as India's opener. India has always had good batsmen in their line up. India has started winning a lot of test matches in the last few years. One important factor is the way in which Sehwag destroys the opposition bowlers' morale when they come out fresh early in the innings. Remember those days when Sanjay Bangar was forced to open the innings or a determined Shiv Sunder Das or Akash Chopra (with due respect, I was a fan of both) blocked consistently.
To win, you've got to attack.
It is a different context when Al Ries and Jack Trout proclaim - 'Only the market leader should consider playing defence' (Marketing Warfare).
I wouldn't want to see Sehwag talk or bat any other way. By the way he said:
"Bangladesh are an ordinary side. They cannot beat India because they cannot take 20 wickets" (before the match)
After the series, he said something like this:"No. Bangladesh cannot beat us. They still did not take 20 wickets!"
Anyway Roger Federer still won the Australian Open for the fourth time even after he said that Murray could get stage-freight because he has never beaten him in a Grand Slam and has the added pressure of trying to win the first for British tennis in, what is it, like 150,000 years. Team Australia (cricket) continue to beat opposition after opposition with all their verbal volleys!
Winning matters.
