Man Of The Day

I have this new idea - at the end of each day, I will nominate the Man Of The Day. This should be a really interesting exercise to find out who had the maximum influence in the series.

Day 1: Laxmipathy Balaji (although some might argue for Asim Kamal ... but naah)
Day 2: Virender Sehwag (is there any doubt ?)

Although a lot of time has been lost due to rain, I hope that we are able to make up most of it and if Sehwag plays a big innings (he has said he wants to bat all day tomorrow), we can score 450-500 and put Pakistan in by the end of the day.

In the last series against South Africa, every time Sehwag gave India a flying start the middle order procrastinated to lose all the momentum. Hope that doesn't happen. I think the Kolkata Test was in a similar state at the end of Day 2 although there was no rain - it was an extremely slow batting performance by South Africa.
