VVS Laxman's 109 vs Australia at SCG in 2nd Test, January 2008

[hahsimaan]

Such  a class player.Always been a treat to watch. Always enjoy watching wrist players, VVS, Azharuddin ,Arvinda, Saeed Anwar were the best for me.

[SGGH12]

Effortless it just looks like he's air batting!

Forget the Sydney Cricket fiasco, my most Memorable moment of the test is WITHOUT doubt and Harsha Bhogle's Tea time commentary about Indias Counter attacking and him taking the full name of V V S Laxman

3. Ganguly was given out caught by spiritless Michael Clarke... where the replays showed he had grassed the ball clearly... still he had the mind to appeal for the catch and the stupid umpire Benson, dint even refer it to the 3rd umpire, instead he asked the dirty man, ricky ponting and given out at once....!!

India gave them a fitting reply in the 3rd test at Perth, with a stunning win...!!

India should have won the series 2-1, but the Pathetic AUSSIES won it with their spiritless cricket..!

[sanrafaa]

One of the best test innings you will ever see..!! At the same time, this is one of the most unsporting test matches that the Aussies ever played...!!

1. AUS were at 134/6 and Symonds wasn't given out, when he edged a ball from Ishant Sharma.. AUS went onto score 463, where they should have been all out under 200.!!

2. In the 2nd innings of India... where India were chasing 300+ in the last day, Dravid was given out lbw, where the replays showed a huge inside edge...

@sanrafaa actually on the 1st point, the score was 6/194, a bad decision nonetheless, but still we were more than that, not to mention those 2 stumpings that came later, and the 2nd point, Dravid was caught behind, not LBW in the 2nd innings, but realistically you could see daylight between bat and pad, and on the 3rd point, realistically Benson's the one to blame, because you need to go to 3rd umpires, as oppose to listen to any player in the world, it was a horrid Test match, and I'm an Aussie

[sanrafaa]

@bulltiger18 yes... I was wrong... when Symonds was not given out caught behind, off Ishant.. they were at 194/6.. nonetheless India should have won that test match hands down... but it wasn't to be... the umpires do make a mistake.. but the players should play in the spirit of the game.. appealing for a catch knowing that the ball was grassed before sitting into the hands, is an absolute disgrace.. Michael clarke may become one of the great oz. cricketers, but he's not a gentleman

[bulltiger18]

@sanrafaa agree, it's supposedly a gentleman's game and some of these players act like little boys and girls, I pray that the SCG Test coming up is nothing like this.

[sanrafaa]

@bulltiger18 Yes....!! thank u for ur honest comments....:-)

[FlyingPig1902]

This was a sensational innings. It singlehandedly got India back into the series.

Damn it 101 of 127 balls with 17 fours. Australia as usual got creamed by LAX.

If anybody needs to look up the word 'ELEGANCE' in a dictionary,watch VVS Laxman bat !

Such pure,artistic and crafty batting,almost heavenly to watch !
