One innings of 280 odd runs in the second innings against Punters's Aussies and helpinmg India to win, (after they were forced to follow on) is enough for every one of us to remember and have long cherished memories abt V V Special Laxman Hats off to the unsung HERO of Indian Cricket Let again his willow spk in England
Laxman was the man who created the rise of India in the early late 1990s and early 2000s. Tendulkar only scores against averae teams like Eng while Laxman did the bulk of scoring against good teams like SA, WI, AUS etc. Tendulkar only scored consistently against these teams when good bowlers like Ambrose, Walsh, Mcgrath retired. Bur Ganguly always kept him out of ODI and next tried his best to throw him out of Test team. Dravid was a good guy but was a coward. He could not stand up to Ganguly's open and Sachin's secret hatred of Laxman. Kumble was the first captain to allow Laxman a secure spot in Test team and now Dhoni has continued that policy. Ganguly was traitor to India for trying to ousts India's greatest talent and Dravid was a coward for not defending Laxman.
Dhoni test captaincy is just gifted by laxman. Last 4 series where India won or could draw the series- max contribution came from laxman & he single handed turned the series by playing classy knock at crucial moment. But at the end all credit goes to politician dhoni who shit in pant just by seeing quick bowling on bouncy pitch
Once ravi shastri commented- If I have to watch test cricket by paying- I will buy ticket when laxman is playing. Very true statement. his batting on tough pitches & in pressure situation is treat to watch. When ordinary player keep doing break dance on bouncy pitches & gainst quality bowling, Laxman plays with such an ease on same pitch/ He is most elegant, wristy & classy player in test cricket. I have maximum admiration for sachin(Ram) & laxman. Both are extraordinary while politician dhoni will reamain ordinary even if he plays for 20 yrs.

Once he scored two centuries against AUS in ODI & next ODI series he was dropped. Aus captain commented- It can happen only in india where batsman like laxman (who is most successful against Aus) is dropped in every next series. Politics of dhoni ensured that he is out from ODI series. Fact remains- even now laxman is far superior batsman than dhoni friends raina, kohli, vijay etc on overseas pitches even in ODI but not getting selected due to regional politics of dhoni. Last SA series was clear proof where all young indian struggled & India lsot the series
He was always on trial when Ganguly and Dravid were leading. I remember for the entire tour of Bangladesh Laxman didnt play for a reason quoted by Dravid as "there is no room for him". He did excellent before that series but didnt have room to play against Bangladesh probably because there are many who needed to score against that weak team Laxman is respected by Dhoni and he is doing his best. His time was the worst under Ganguly for reasons known only to Ganguly. But at the end, no need to blame anyone because a player cant succeed if there is no talent in him. Laxman has that special.

don't talk rubish. Laxman is always respected by Tendulkar, Dravid & kumble as they all are world class player. Only politics done with laxman was by Ganguly in test & dhoni in ODI. Politicain dhoni never praises too much for all of his classsy test inning on tough pitch. But his friends yuvi, raina etc score even 50 on flat pitch, he will keep praising it for hours. Laxman is out from ODI beacuse of politics of dhoni. Dravid & laxman are best friends & dhoni is a politician. What can u expect from a non performing captain who has scored 23 runs in 4 inning & failed in every ovesrease test series as a batsman

Laxman is Natural Class. he has been the savior for India on so many occasions. Its a pity we dont notice that. Its a pity, no one asks..what the hell is Harbajan doing in the team? Perfect situation for a strike bowler..Opposition with back against the wall.. Plenty of overs..Good pitch..What did this guy do? when will selectors realize that Harbajan is a spent force?
if any news about sachin, shewag, Dravid or even sreesanth, there is lot of meesages but vvs has got only one message that to deleted by moderator this is the fate of very very special lakshman

Very good observation - It is almost criminal to say something against him. After all class does not come that easily esp in India. Born to double doctor parents - class oozes from Laxman, while guys like Praveen Kumar beat up doctors (IPL 1)

Laxman relative (Uncle/Muasa ji) was my ex boss in my ex company in India. He was president & a classy person same like laxman. Laxman & sachin are two best batsman India produced in last tow decade followed by dravid/sehwag. But politician like dhoni gets all the media coverage(who can score 23 runs in 4 inning) & player like laxman doesn't get any media hype
