the no 3 down batsman in the batting line up from vishwanath,vengsarkar,ashruddin,lakshman in - well - it will be remembered in the annals of Indian cricket for a long long time - all the best vvs lakshman - opinions differ
This is the saddest year for Indian cricket. Earlier Dravid and now laxman retired. SRT too will retire in an year or so and then team India's batting will bcm weak just like bowling. Some people may say that what did SRT, Dravid n VVS did when we got whitewashed recently. My question to such people is - how many times we got whitewashed when fab4 was there? And even in whitewash SRT n Dravid scored more runs thn others. Lets see what will SO CALLED TALENTED YOUNGSTERS do now. VVS is a great batsman and a strong pillar of fab4. We are fortunate to see these fab4 playing for nation and make India proud.
"I think this is the right time to give the youngsters a chance in home conditions ahead of international assignments...." What a vision! What a thought!! If only other senior(s) in the team think(s) like VVS..... Khudos to VVS for timing his retirement to perfection! No doubt! he sure, would have performed better and added one or two centuries or half centuries to his credit. But the man he is, he placed team's interests ahead of his own as always... That's our Very very Special Lakshman! May he guide Hyderabad Ranji team for a season or two and contribute his might to HCA and Indian Cricket in the years to come. We love and admire you VVS! None can ever forget your "NEVER SAY DIE" attitude ever!
. In cricket Test cricket is toughest. Laxman was genius Test batsman. He was always best while chasing target, in second innings and in extreme pressure situations ( Even better than all time great particularly in this fields)
