Truly Laxman is a very very special cricketeer - his talent should not be wasted for 1 day cricket and he should be a permanent member of the test team- only then his talent will blossom to the full.
Firstly, Rediff pls. post my message, as I have posted at least 18 messages in past 20 days, but none were psoted by you { may be as all my messages were anti Ganguly }
Hope the century of LAXMAN, 49 of DHONI, and superb performance of Pathan will shut mouths of few Bengalis....who cammented for Laxman { on the performance against Australia, he will be in team for how long } hope U all have his reply and that too LOUD !!!! Many Bongs did even go to a level saying that DHONI only has big hairs so he is in team, I hope its better than at least 39 or 40 { also see the balls } and finally Patahan, needless to speak anything. So overall, I only want to say that all these chaps have given a VERY GOOD SLAP on all U Ganguly supporters and proved the SELECTORS worth.....and trust me If the NATIONS { off course I dont know for west bengal, Ganguly and Dalmia } well wishes are with the TEAM INDIA, we will win the match !!!!
Indian top order is cosistent in only failures. Barring an outstanding individual inings top order has failed. Present sucess is farce as it is just because of Dhoni Dhamaka and Irfan pathan heroics, otherwise there is no improvement in shortcommings, be it Sehwag,sachin, gambhir or Kaif. Chappel has insisted on performers in the team. But what is he there for then. If we give just 7 good performers to hockey coach he too can winn us 2007 world cup. His inputs are really not yielding the results.
