Say it is so, Joe

Virender Sehwag's greatest strength is his (seemingly) uncluttered mind. He says what he is thinking and does not mince words when the opinion is not kind to others. Give me Viru any day over the cookie-cutter responses of some others.

Here's the latest example of Sehwag's blunt way of responding to questions. This is what he had to say when he was asked his opinion of the Bangladeshi bowling attack (source CricInfo):
"In one-day [cricket] they can surprise anybody but not in Test matches. It's an ordinary side. It's difficult for Bangladesh to take 20 Indian wickets. The kind of batting line up we have, I don't think so. Even Sri Lanka can't do that."
Hubris? Arrogance? Honesty? You take your pick. Whatever it is, I love it! Here's more from the same interview.
