Sehwag, Virender

Indian batsman who takes the theory about attack being the best form of defence to ridiculous extremes. Need to bat for two days to save a game? Why not try flaying the attack to all corners for a quickfire 50 and then get out caught on the fence while slogging? It's the Sehwag method.

You can make your own Sehwag using these ingredients:

• 2 fast hands
• 2 feet encased in concrete
• 1 massive lump of willow
• 1 complete and utter disregard for the reputation of bowlers
• 1 dislike of running too much
• hair weave to taste
• occasional spin

Treat with care and your Sehwag will dazzle and infuriate in equal measures for many years.
