I am not sure if you had watched that match live but I did cause BD's fate was depending on it. SL posted a 254 total. An imposing total but not hard for the stat-filled lineup India had. When the first 3 batsmen Uthappa, Ganguly and Tendulkar were out for 44 India needed a someone to stay with Dravid. Not a run a ball inning for sure. If the situation demands for someone just to hang no to the wicket but he still plays aggressively that usually is the worst possible innings one can play. Even in the match report at the Cricinfo had mentioned Shewag's out was the turning point of the match. Statwise it may look pretty or ok but substance wise it was bad. He was set yet he gave it away. That was the reason for him to make my squad.

Chao.
