A Sehwag anecdote from Warne

From The Age:
"WARNE also tells a funny story about Indian batsman Virender Sehwag, one told to him by Englishman Jeremy Snape while Warne and Snape were working together in the IPL. Warne said Sehwag and Snape were batting for Leicestershire against Middlesex when Abdul Razzaq started reverse-swinging the ball in the way that the Pakistan bowlers do. Writes Warne: "Sehwag came up to Snape and said, 'We must lose this ball. I have a plan'. Next over, he whacked that ball clean out of the ground, forcing the umpires to pick another from the box that would obviously not reverse straight away. To which Sehwag said, 'We are all right for one hour'." Noted Warne: "Smart, I say.""
