Lakshman took it on the chin

[talksport]

Expressed disappointment on non selection and says India will go on to win the world cup. Good Man I feel for him , but not lose sleep over it and even he shouldnt. :wtg:

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin He had to say that of course but good on him. Hope Rohan also supports India even though VVS is sitting at home.

The guy really wanted to play in the world cup. May be he should have been in the team the last time instead of Mongia. Feel sorry for him. That said, he himself has expressed how blessed they all are to get a chance to play for India for so many tests and ODIs.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin He deserved a chance last time, he was unlucky. He doesn't deserve a chance this time.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin Feel Sorry for him. But at the same time , I blame him for not re-tooling himself with strokes more useful for ODI. He had nearly 4 years from last WC and he still couldn't figure out how to play in the slog overs. Should have taken a leaf from Dravid's book.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin Unlucky but he will get over it. He still has a chance to make it to the ODI team if he puts in that extra bit and work on his running/fielding/batting. It's hard when you have such long breaks.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin yep, but cant blame him, was hard on him after his knee operation, couldnt turn quickly while taking two's and three's

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin Has he took it on the chin :huh: He has pulled out of ranji odi tournamnet for hydrabad through SMS. Seems like someone has not taken it very well.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin very very sad Laxman, its simply not right a great player like him being ignored by the selectors. but then again lets see what happens whether he retires from one day cricket, if he does all i want too see is the old Laxman the Laxman who hit struck fluent big hundreds in test match cricket

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin He didn't deserve anything back in '03 either. Mongia had won India two ODI series (vs WI away and vs ZIM at home). I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.

[Rohan495]

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin i do have sympathy you r just one of those few who doesnt. He deserved a fair run in one days, he was never givin the full confidence by the selectors players throughout their career have got upto 3 to 4 series too prove themselves Laxman from the chances he got at max one series, hes always had a descent odi record seeing his inconsistency in the line up, and as far as mongia being picked that was not a great move Zimbabwe and WI were relatively weak teams back then. Its sad to see him in such a state, he must be not having a great time, a great player like him not getting a chance to show his class in the world cup shows you how harsh the selectiors of a cricketing nation such as India has its flaws.

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin if i remember rightly during the world cup Mongia was the only one who stood up against the aussies while the rest of our batting line up was decimated.

[Chaos]

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin no chanakya i dont remember, tell me more about ur creations. Mongia was trash in world cup.

[Legend]

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin well whatever if he was trash or what.. atleast he was right in getting selected for 03 wc over laxman..

[yoda]

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin

Re: Lakshman took it on the chin nopes he did not do well. All i remembered watching on the big screen was that he played and did not get out for some time in the match where india was all out for 125
