Chopra on Gayle/Sehwag

From this splendid piece...

"They also trick bowlers by wildly heaving at and missing deliveries intentionally. Once, in a domestic game on a poor surface, Sehwag stepped down the track and played a rather ambitious shot, only to miss the ball by a mile. It looked suicidal but he had a plan in mind. He charged the bowler because he wanted to force him to shorten his length, which he did the following ball, to be dispatched to the fence. Gayle does the same...there are astute cricket brains working behind those rather calm facades."

Yeah, yeah, I do that too. Sometimes two or three times in a row, just to really fuck with them.
