Hi Prince Roy, Is Laxman not part of fab4 because he is not from the Eastern province to which Ganguly belongs? Laxman is one of the classiest strokeplayers the world has ever seen and I have seen a lot of them. If one does not understand one should refrain from comments. Laxman and Dravid and Tendulkar and Dada are all the real Dadas of Cricket in India as they have played well in all conditions aginst tough attacks. Unfortunate that our media and the people today have a very low attention span.

hello...Laxman is one of the gifted player in India only next to Sachin and along with Dravid...Actually Dravid also struggles to take singles whereas Laxman is a natural stroke maker...I agree that he is not good on field but he is really good at slips...Def he is one of Fab2...Cricket is not just sixes and fours...its more of class...Laxman does not have god fathers in Cricket like how Sachin and Ganguly has....

buddy, you need to brush up your cricket knowledge a bit ... if you look at most of the overseas wins for india, be it in australia 2003/2007-08, south africa or west indies ... dravid and laxman have had major contributions ... and then how can you miss out laxman's dream innings of 281 at edens against australia in 2001 ... he is still one of the finest middle order test batsman

buddy.... whenever we talk of laxman, the entire India can remember only one of his inning of 281... no one can remember any other great inning played by him.... but its not the case with dravid, sachin, saurav (in ODI's) or kumble (with the ball)... so i think the entire crowd which is referring laxman in fab 4 should be changed and instead of him.... KUMBLE should be included in that list

281 is just one of the many wonderful knocks he played against nations with good bowling line up...there are so many test matches where he has built amazing partnerships with batsmen at all orders including tail enders...he is the only batsmen on whom captain can rely in test matches....
